==Early life and education==
Steve Wynn was born Stephen Alan Weinberg in New Haven, Connecticut on January 27, 1942. His father, Michael, who ran a string of bingo parlors in the eastern United States, changed the family's last name in 1946 from "Weinberg" to "Wynn" when Steve was six months old "to avoid anti-Jewish discrimination".〔 Wynn was raised in Utica, New York, and graduated from The Manlius School, a private boys' school east of Syracuse, New York, in 1959.〔
Steve Wynn received his Bachelor of Arts in cultural anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania, where he was a member of the Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity.〔 He was 21 when his father died of heart problems, and shortly afterwards he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature. As his father had left $350,000 of gaming debts, Wynn relinquished a position at Yale Law School to take charge of his family's business in Waysons Corner, Maryland, working the bingo parlors himself. Within a year he had expanded the company.〔
