Stocks Reverse A Weak Start; Wynn, Las Vegas Sands Slide --Inevstors.com

Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ:WYNN) and Las Vegas Sands (NYSE:LVS) dropped 4% each. The casino operators were apparently under pressure following a report in the Macau Business Daily that said casinos there would likely see a 5% drop in revenue from June to August, and a report from Morgan Stanley that said the decline in China's top gambling region has not yet found a bottom.

Both Las Vegas Sands and Wynn Resorts have been in deepening consolidations since March and are below key levels of support.
