Wynn Resorts boss Steve Wynn has confirmed his interest in building a casino in North Jersey, assuming the state’s politicians stop squabbling long enough to pass the necessary legislation.

On Friday, Wynn spokesman Michael Weaver confirmed rumors that had circulated the day before that Wynn had expressed an interest in New Jersey legislators’ proposals to amend the state constitution to permit casinos outside Atlantic City.

However, Weaver told NJ Advance Media that Wynn’s interest was contingent on legislators choosing an expansion plan that didn’t “limit the options available for future development of the industry, given that some of the top tier resort companies, such as Wynn, are not operating in Atlantic City.”

This appears to be an endorsement of the expansion plan floated by state Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, which calls for two new casinos in the northern part of the state, one in each county.
