Oct. 25–The Massachusetts Gaming Commission is expected to schedule a hearing sometime in early December, after investigators complete their look into Wynn Resorts.
Ed Bedrosian, the commission's executive director, said the agency's investigations and enforcement bureau is still finishing its report on whether Wynn Resorts is suitable to hold the eastern Massachusetts casino license in the aftermath of a Wall Street Journal report outlining accusations of sexual misconduct against company founder Steve Wynn.
Steve Wynn denied the allegations but stepped away from the company Feb. 6. Wynn Resorts later changed the name of the $2.5 billion casino under construction in Everett to Encore Boston Harbor.
The hearing on the report will likely take place sometime in the first two weeks of December.
Bedrosian said the commissioners and Wynn Resorts will receive a copy of the investigators' report, as well as exhibits. The package is expected to total hundreds of pages of documents.
The commission's legal division will work to schedule the hearing, according to Bedrosian.
A redacted version of the report will be released to the public at the beginning of the hearing.
