Net revenues for the second quarter of 2013 were $1,332.3 million, compared to $1,253.2 million in the second quarter of 2012. The revenue increase was driven by 16.2% higher revenues from our Las Vegas operations and a 2.6% revenue increase from our Macau operations. Adjusted property EBITDA (1) was $425.7 million for the second quarter of 2013, a 10.8% increase from $384.1 million in the second quarter of 2012.
On a US GAAP basis, net income attributable to Wynn Resorts for the second quarter of 2013 was $129.8 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to a net income attributable to Wynn Resorts of $138.1 million, or $1.37 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012. Net income for the second quarter of 2013 included a $26.6 million loss on the early retirement of debt.

Wynn Resorts also announced today that the Company has approved a cash dividend for the quarter of $1.00 per common share. This dividend will be payable on August 26, 2013, to stockholders of record on August 12, 2013.
Macau Operations
In the second quarter of 2013, net revenues were $930.9 million, a 2.6% increase from the $907.6 million generated in the second quarter of 2012. Adjusted property EBITDA in the second quarter of 2013 was $290.1 million, down 4.0% from $302.2 million in the second quarter of 2012.
Table games results in Macau are segregated into two distinct reporting categories, the VIP segment and the mass market segment.
Table games turnover in the VIP segment was $29.9 billion for the second quarter of 2013, a 1.6% decline from $30.3 billion in the second quarter of 2012. VIP table games win as a percentage of turnover (calculated before commissions) for the quarter was 2.94%, which was within the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% and higher than the 2.79% experienced in the second quarter of 2012.
Table games win in the mass market segment increased by 8.5% in the second quarter to $217.0 million. Mass market table games win per unit per day increased by 6.5% to $11,671 from $10,963 per table in the second quarter of 2012. Drop in the mass market segment was $626.6 million in the second quarter of 2013, down 6.7% from the June 2012 quarter, while the segment’s win percentage of 34.6% was higher than the 29.8% generated in the 2012 quarter. Chips purchased at the casino cage are excluded from table games drop and will increase the expected win percentage. Note that customers purchase mass market gaming chips at either the gaming tables or the casino cage. With the increased purchases at the casino cage, we believe the relevant indicator of volumes in the mass market segment should be table games win.
Slot machine handle of $1.2 billion for the second quarter of 2013 was approximately flat with the prior-year quarter, while slot win declined 8.9% compared to the prior-year period. Win per unit per day was 2.9% lower at $731, compared to $752 in the second quarter of 2012. The average number of slots in the 2013 second quarter declined by 57 machines versus the 2012 period.
During the second quarter of 2013, we began a renovation of the approximately 600 guestrooms in the original Wynn Macau tower, contributing to an approximate 5% reduction in the number of available room-nights compared to the second quarter of 2012. We expect to complete the guestroom renovation by the end of 2013.
We achieved an Average Daily Rate (ADR) of $314 for the second quarter of 2013, 1.0% below the $317 reported in the 2012 quarter. Occupancy at Wynn Macau improved to 95.5% from 90.0% in the prior-year period, and revenue per available room (REVPAR) rose 5.0% to $300 in the 2013 quarter from $286 in last year’s second quarter. Gross non-casino revenues increased 3.3% during the quarter to $99.9 million.
We currently have 500 tables (285 VIP tables, 205 mass market tables and 10 poker tables) and 884 slot machines.
Cotai Project in Macau
The Company is constructing a full-scale integrated resort containing a casino, hotel, convention, retail, entertainment and food and beverage offerings on Cotai and currently estimates the project budget to be approximately $4.0 billion. In February 2013, we started pre-foundation work and continue to remain on pace with the construction schedule. Additionally, negotiations for a guaranteed maximum price (GMP) contract for the project construction costs are nearing completion. We expect to open our resort in Cotai in the first half of 2016.
During the second quarter of 2013, we invested approximately $113.3 million in our Cotai project.

Gross non-casino revenues for the quarter were $302.1 million, 3.9% higher than in the second quarter of 2012 due to increases in the hotel, food and beverage, and retail segments, and partially offset by lower entertainment revenues.

Food and beverage revenues increased 5.9% to $146.6 million, a result of revenue increases at both the property’s restaurants and its nightclubs. Retail revenues were $22.1 million in the quarter, up 5.2% from last year’s quarter. Entertainment revenues declined to $14.7 million in the 2013 second quarter from $18.1 million due to a show that ended its run at the Encore Theater in November 2012.
