The facility, which includes games, has been described as a $2 billion venture in which Wynn Resorts is an equity partner and operator.

The project, which will be named “Win Resort,” is set to open “early 2027,” according to a joint press release Thursday from Marjan, RAK Hospitality Holding and Wynn Resorts.

The development will include “more than 1,000 room hotels, luxury shopping malls, state-of-the-art conference and convention facilities, dedicated spas, more than 10 restaurants and lounges, various entertainment options, game areas and other amenities.” 경마

In February this year, CEO Craig Billings told investment analysts that the company was “in the latter stages of the program” for the Las Al-Kaima complex in response to Wynn Resorts’ fourth-quarter 2022 earnings report. “I expect we’ll be building a stake for the foundation of real estate by the middle of the year,” he added at the time.
