Win Al Marjan Island, a casino resort project in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), will "open to the public in early 2027," the gaming company said in a press release on Monday.
"Overall tower height, over 300 meters [984 feet]... is expected to peak in the fourth quarter of 2025," the company said. "Currently, the structure [pictured] is about 40 meters high," it added.
Wynn Resorts on Monday unveiled new images of the island of Wynn al-Marjan under construction in Ras al-Kaima in the Middle East United Arab Emirates.
The facility on Wynn Al Marjan Island will house a 1,542-room hotel, including 22 private villas in the marina adjacent to the resort. The hotel will also feature a 7,500 sq m (80,729 sq ft) event center, a 15,000 sq m retail store, 22 restaurants, bars, and a theater, according to Wynn Resorts.
Win Design and Development is overseeing the design and development of the project.
The announcement quoted Todd Renahan, President and Chief Creative Officer of Win Design and Development, as saying: "Historically, the area around Ras al-Khaima has been a lighthouse of Arabian Gulf navigation and important trade."
He said, "We designed the 300-meter-tall resort tower with Ras al-Kaima's historical role as a great navigation watcher in mind. Let's hope the tower will become a new landmark and new beacon for travelers in Ras al-Kaima around the world."
The project is described as a $3.9 billion venture involving local partners with Win Resort as a 40% stake investor. Win Resort is the parent company of Macau casino operator Win Macao Ltd.
Wynn Resorts' local partners in Wynn Al Marjan Island are Marjan LLC and RAK Hospitality Holding LLC. 카지노사이트
In February, Wynn Resorts CEO Craig Billings described the Ras al-Kaima Islands as "a significant growth opportunity to further diversify our portfolio in the UAE and expand our brand into new markets."
While legislation to allow gambling has not yet been passed by local authorities, Wynn Resorts has previously said the system will include gaming facilities.
Former MGM Resorts chairman and chief executive Jim Muren was named president of the UAE Commercial Gaming Regulatory Agency (GCGRA) in September. The agency will be responsible for commercial gaming regulation and the national draw.
