$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Wynn Resorts has entered into an agreement to develop a luxury resort in the United Arab Emirates. The agreement states that there will be a gaming area at the resort, but it's unclear if it will have gambling options. Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority has started a Department of Entertainment and Gaming Regulation to oversee "integrated resorts" in UAE.
Marjan hopes to open the new luxury resort in 2026 on a man-made island just off the coast in Ras Al Khaimah. It will have 1,000 hotel rooms, ten restaurants, a convention center, spa, and shopping facilities.
Wynn UAE deal may pave the way for a Gulf State Casino. The UAE made significant changes last year, including decriminalization of alcohol consumption and premarital sexual relations. Caesars Entertainment opened a resort in Dubai in 2018. MGM Resorts International is developing three luxury hotels in the country.
