Wynn Resorts Ltd. Chairman and CEO Steve
Wynn was slapped in the face at his
hotel during a recent run-in with two
sisters with a history of prostitution,
Las Vegas police said.

The incident unfolded about 9:30
p.m. July 25 at the VIP valet
parking area of Wynn Las Vegas,
according to a police report.
As Wynn headed for the doors,
Sarah Cournede stepped out from
a small crowd and propositioned
him, the report said.
Wynn put his arm around the woman
and continued toward the doors,
where he told a door man to
summon security, the report
said. |
Wynn held onto Cournede as she struggled
to escape, and her sister, Maria
Cournede, eventually joined the fray and
tried to pull her sister away, the
report said. During the struggle, Maria
Cournede slapped Wynn in the face, the
report said.
Both women had been banned from the
property in the past and were arrested
on trespassing charges, said Capt. Brett
Zimmerman of the Vice and Narcotics
Bureau.
"They were known prostitutes," he said.
Wynn was unavailable when police arrived
and did not immediately press battery
charges related to the slap, he said.
A spokesman for Wynn could not be
reached Monday evening.
Neither Cournede sister could be reached
for comment.
