An Oct. 2 hearing is scheduled on the request. Okada's two board nominees are Yale Law School professor Jonathan Macey and Fredric Reynolds, a former executive vice president and chief financial officer of CBS Corp. Wynn Resorts will hold its 2012 annual meeting on Nov. 2 in Las Vegas. "We believe that the board lacks a sufficient level of independence from the company's management and, in particular, Mr. Wynn," Okada wrote. A request for comment was left with Wynn Resorts. Okada met Wynn while selling gaming devices in Nevada. The Japanese pachinko magnate in 2000 invested $260 million for a 50 percent stake in the predecessor company to Wynn Resorts. In 2002, Okada invested an additional $120 million and became the company's vice chairman. Pachinko is a game that is a cross between slots and pinball.
