Wynn Resorts Ltd (NASDAQ:WYNN) stock is continuing its recent rally, up 1.1% at $106.60, after Friday's announcement that the company received the first commercial gaming operator license in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Wynn Resorts faces challenges, including a $120m fine for unregistered money transfers, but these issues are unlikely to significantly impact its stock performance.
