TMZ.com is reporting that Vegas casino mogul Steve Wynn has sued "Girls Gone Wild" producer Joe Francis for slander.

Francis had earlier claimed that Wynn threatened his life. 

"Mr. Wynn has threatened to kill me ... He said he would hit me in the back of the head with a shovel and bury me in the desert." 

In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Wynn denies all of the above -- stating he "never threatened to kill Francis, nor physically threatened him in any manner."

Wynn is suing for unspecified damages.
