EXPLANATORY NOTE

This registration statement on Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is being filed to register an additional 3,600,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Wynn Resorts, Limited (the “Registrant”) reserved for issuance under the Wynn Resorts, Limited Third Amended and Restated 2014 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), but not previously registered, including 600,000 shares that may again become available for delivery with respect to awards under the Plan pursuant to certain share recycling and other terms and conditions of the Plan. The additional 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan were approved by our stockholders at our 2026 annual meeting held on May 6, 2026.

The Registrant previously filed the following registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to shares of Common Stock issuable under the Plan: Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-196113) filed on May 20, 2014, Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-239579) filed on June 30, 2020, Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-281485) filed on August 12, 2024, and Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-294741) filed on March 30, 2026 (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”). The Prior Registration Statements are currently effective. This Registration Statement relates to securities of the same class as those to which the Prior Registration Statements relate and is submitted in accordance with

Pursuant to General Instruction E of Form S-8, the contents of the Prior Registration Statements, including all attachments and exhibits thereto and the periodic and current reports that we filed with the Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after the effectiveness of the Prior Registration Statements, are incorporated herein by reference except to the extent supplemented, amended or superseded by the information set forth herein.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i)to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii)to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii)to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;

Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b)The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for the purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of

appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Las Vegas, State of Nevada, on this 11th day of May, 2026.
