Casino operator Wynn Resorts insists that its brand new Massachusetts resort isn’t for sale, despite the company having been discussing a sale to rival MGM Resorts just two weeks ago.

This week saw the first orientation sessions for the thousands of staff who have been hired to work at Encore Boston Harbor, Wynn’s $2.6b resort casino in the suburb of Everett. The property is scheduled to open to the public on June 23, and some of its restaurants are already taking reservations, so the clock is ticking.

On Tuesday, the Boston Herald quoted Wynn spokesman Michael Weaver saying that CEO Matt Maddox had personally addressed each orientation session and that each crop of trainees had received the same message: “Encore is not for sale.”

Encore’s president Robert Desalvio echoed those comments, telling local media that the company was “done” with any thoughts of dealmaking and Wynn was “very much focused on opening the property.”
