CASINO Giant Wynn Resorts recently confirmed that they are building a 1,000-foot tall hotel tower on the man-made Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah – one of the seven Sheikhdoms in the UAE.
The Nevada-based casino giant is one of the biggest in the world, with resorts established in Boston and Macau.
The multibillion-dollar resort in Ras al Khaimah will cost around $3.9 billion.
Construction has already started, with the gaming resort slated to open its magnificent doors to the world in early 2027.
The flashy project includes 1,500 rooms, 24 dining and bar spaces, spa services, and high-end shops.
The company plans to make the casino in the UAE bigger than the original one in Las Vegas.
The ultra-luxurious property is Wynn Resort’s most impressive project in the UAE and will follow the highest standards of sustainability best practices.
The global gaming industry expects the UAE to become the first Gulf State to legalize casinos.
Such a move could transform the oil-rich gulf state into a global gaming destination and eventually surpass Singapore as a center for gambling.
Although the UAE has considered opening its doors to the global casino industry, Dubai’s tourism department last year said that legalizing gambling in the city is not part of its plans for now.
