But it was not the area's scenic beauty that last week drew Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and key members of his Progressive Conservative Cabinet to the government-owned retreat on the lake's snow-covered shore.

Sitting in his new hotel in a red V-neck sweater and gray wool pants, Wynn, 63-famous for yelling at employees, taking up steer roping and accidentally shooting off his index finger in his office-is talking about building neighborhoods in his latest land of make-believe. Explaining that his hotel will be a mellow retreat, without the glitz and campy themes that have made him such a sensation in the past, Wynn breaks into a rendition of Bali Ha'i from South...
