Adjusted property EBITDA increased 52.6% to $241.9 million for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $158.5 million in the 2009 comparable period.

Wynn Macau First Quarter Results
In the first quarter of 2010 net revenues were $590.6 million compared to $448.7 million in the first quarter of 2009. Wynn Macau generated adjusted property EBITDA of $181.6 million compared to $114.6 million in the first quarter of 2009.
Table games results are segregated into two distinct reporting categories, the VIP segment and the mass market segment.
Table games turnover in the VIP segment was $20.2 billion for the 2010 quarter, compared to $10.7 billion for the first quarter of 2009. VIP table games win as a percentage of turnover (calculated before discounts and commissions) for the quarter was 2.7%, at the low end of the expected range of 2.7% to 3.0% and significantly below the 3.55% experienced in the first quarter of 2009. In November 2009 we added two new private gaming salons with 29 VIP tables which helped drive some of the growth in our VIP segment in the first quarter.
Table games drop in the mass market category was $528.2 million during the period, a 5.2% increase from $502.3 million in the first quarter of 2009. Mass market table games win percentage (calculated before discounts) of 22.2% was above our expected range of 19% to 21% and in-line with the 22.1% generated in the 2009 quarter.
Slot machine handle decreased 4.1% to $920.2 million as compared to the prior year quarter. Win per unit per day was 2.6% higher at $451 compared to $440 in the first quarter 2009 as we reconfigured the slot floor and removed approximately 74 machines.
Wynn Macau achieved an Average Daily Rate (ADR) of $282 for the first quarter of 2010, compared to $268 in the 2009 quarter. The property's occupancy was 90.7%, compared to 83.3% during the prior year period, generating revenue per available room (REVPAR) of $256 in the 2010 quarter, 14.8% above 2009 levels of $223.
Non-gaming revenues at Wynn Macau increased 45.7% during the quarter to $62.7 million, driven in large part by retail revenues which were up 91.3% to $30 million for the first quarter of 2010, due primarily to increased sales at several outlets and the opening of Wynn and Co. Watches and Jewelry, which sells Cartier, Jaeger Le Coultre and Kwiat products.
Encore at Wynn Macau
On April 21, 2010, we opened Encore at Wynn Macau, a further expansion of Wynn Macau. Encore adds a fully-integrated resort hotel with 410 luxury suites and four villas along with restaurants, additional retail space (including Chanel, Piaget and Cartier) and gaming space including approximately 37 VIP tables, 24 mass market tables and 69 slot machines.
Including Encore, we currently have 467 tables (246 VIP tables, 210 mass market tables and 11 poker tables) and 1,224 slot machines at Wynn Macau.
Total development and construction costs are expected to be approximately $575 million. As of March 31, 2010, we had incurred approximately $500 million of project costs related to the development and construction of Encore at Wynn Macau.
Wynn Las Vegas and Encore First Quarter Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, our Las Vegas operations generated adjusted property EBITDA of $60.3 million (with an 18.9% EBITDA margin on net revenue), up significantly when compared to the $43.9 million generated in the first quarter of 2009.
Net casino revenues in the first quarter of 2010 were $139.5 million, up 18.8% from the first quarter of 2009. Table games drop was $556.9 million compared to drop of $520.0 million in the 2009 quarter and table games win percentage of 23.2% was within the property's expected range of 21% to 24% and higher than the 17.7% reported in the 2009 quarter. Slot machine handle of $674.4 million was 26.6% below the comparable period of 2009 primarily due to the high volumes of slot play experienced when Encore opened last year and new supply added to the Las Vegas market in late 2009. Total slot win was within the expected range of 4.5% to 5.5%.
Gross non-casino revenues for the quarter were $225.2 million, a 1.4% decrease from the first quarter of 2009, driven primarily by lower hotel revenues which were partially offset by higher entertainment revenues.
Hotel revenues were down 8.8% to $77.6 million during the quarter, versus $85.1 million in the first quarter of 2009 as Average Daily Rate (ADR) decreased 8.6% to $203, compared to $222 in the 2009 quarter. Our occupancy was 89.4%, flat with the 89.5% generated in the prior year period, generating revenue per available room (REVPAR) of $181 in the 2010 period compared to $199 in the first quarter of 2009.
Food and beverage revenues decreased 1.0% to $95.9 million in the quarter and Retail revenues were $18.9 million in the quarter, 3.3% below last year's levels. Entertainment revenues increased 42.2% to $18.2 million from the first quarter of 2009 primarily due to the Garth Brooks performances (started in December 2009), as well as increased revenue from our Le Rêve show.
During the fourth quarter, we started construction of the Encore Beach Club, which will replace Encore's porte-cochere on Las Vegas Boulevard. The Beach Club will feature pools, food and beverage, and nightlife offerings. The total budget for the Encore Beach Club is approximately $68 million and we expect it to open on schedule, in the second quarter of 2010.
