Net revenues were $1.48 billion for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 47.9%, or $478.0 million, from $997.7 million for the same period of 2016.

On a U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") basis, net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited was $100.8 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 34.0%, or $25.6 million, from $75.2 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, for the same period of 2016. The increase in net income attributable to Wynn Resorts, Limited was primarily the result of income from Wynn Palace, which opened in the third quarter of 2016, and from increased income from our Las Vegas Operations, partially offset by increased interest expense.
