Las Vegas wonder boy Steve Wynn was one of the 7 original bidders [[1996) on the 3 Detroit Casino licenses. His bid involved a massive 800 hotel room casino to be called the Marquessa... which looked like the MCS but with a French mansard roof and fancy skylight entranceway... the fanciest and most impressive of all the 1990s casino bids based on the drawings.
However, Wynn refused to take on local Detroit minority partners, and his bid was denied... partly since 2 of the bids [[Atwater/MotorCity and Greektown) had preferences. The only real bid available went to MGM...
But Steve Wynn has a track record as a very flashy casino impressario with impressive casinos [[which he later sold).
