Gaming magnate Steve Wynn doesn’t shy away from a fight. In Foxborough, Massachusetts, the founder of Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts Ltd. has been working hard to get a $1 billion casino built.

Wynn faces plenty of obstacles, Bloomberg Businessweek reports in its April 30 issue. Civic leaders won’t negotiate with him, an opposition group has attracted 1,200 members, and rival Caesars Entertainment Corp. wants to build its own Boston-area casino. On April 16 a supporter of Wynn’s project was arrested for allegedly threatening the life of a town selectman, according to police.
