Mega tycoon Steve Wynn is planning to rope in both footie ace David Beckham and chef Gordon Ramsay in a joint venture at his Las Vegas hotel, according to reports.

The businessman - owner of Wynn resort - has set his eyes on opening a sports bar and grill on the complex with the Beckham and Ramsay, the Sun reported.

Wynn has wanted Ramsay, who already owns three places on The Strip, to team up with him for years, but after Beckham retired from football, he started floating the idea of an eatery, which is endorsed by both of them.

Ramsay and Beckham have already teamed up for food business - their first joint eatery, Union Street Cafe, will be opening near London's Borough Market in September.

 

A source said that Wynn has never cared about money since he became a billionaire after rejuvenating The Strip in the early 90s, his ambition now is to simply have the best hotels in the world.

The source said that he splurged more than 2 billion pounds doing that with the Wynn Resort and thinks that Ramsay and Beckham can make it even better.
