This is a true story and I think it is simply fun! 

A woman from our golf club said that her daughter and son-in-law were married at Wynn's Casino in Vegas.  It was a place that both of them really enjoyed and the wedding was a blast.  (If you have ever been there, the setting is very special.) The casino did everything to make the day unforgettable. The event cost a small fortune, but it was outstanding! 

Within a year after the ceremony, the newlywed gave birth to a beautiful little girl.  The couple struggled with what to name the child. They wanted a name that was rather unconventional but totally positive.  The father finally set upon the notion that "Wynn," after his favorite casino, would be absolutely perfect.  (He is very conservative, but he likes to gamble and play the golf course. I do not want to make him sound too far out there.)

The parents took a picture of the baby and sent it to Ms. Wynn with an explanation about the origin of the baby's name. Ms. Wynn mailed back a cashmere baby sweater and hat with a charming letter.  She had  baby Wynn's picture blown up and placed on the hallway of  the employee's lounge and every time the couple goes to the Wynn with Wynn they are treated like "rock stars."  (Plus, there is always a special present for Wynn at the counter.) 

Moral of the Story: Do take that extra time to name your child or grandchild.  It could pay off on many levels!

Wonder how many Mandalay's are out there? Or Luxor's?

Interesting story -- bet there are more babies named after places like that than one might know.

Carol, I guess one should choose Casinos wisely.  Sahara, Venetian and Mirage have a nice ring to them, on the other hand, Stratosphere, Circus Circus, and Golden Nugget...not so much!

So, do you think little "Wynn" might have some sort of edge for future employment at the Wynn?
