Steve Wynn is a man who not only makes the preposterous possible, but also profitable. The casino mogul and billionaire turned Las Vegas from a strip of gambling dens into a global attraction, helping to foster the Vegas ideal that it is a place consenting adults can see and do just about anything imaginable (plus, of course, gamble 24-hours a day).If that happens to include watching erupting volcanoes and full-size pirate ship battles, then you can thank Steve Wynn personally; he opened The Mirage, complete with 50-feet-tall volcano, in 1989 and Treasure Island four years later. The Bellagio followed in 1998 with an indoor lake, dancing fountains, high-end boutiques and an art gallery.
