Wynn Resorts Bets Big on UAE's Emerging Casino Market
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Forbes
Wynn Resorts is making a significant investment in the UAE with a $3.9 billion luxury casino resort in Ras Al Khaimah, set to open in 2027. This marks the UAE's first foray into commercial gaming, with Wynn securing the first casino license from the newly formed General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority. The project is a joint venture with RAK Hospitality Holding and aims to capitalize on the UAE's large expatriate population and proximity to major travel hubs. Wynn's early move positions it ahead of other potential casino operators in the region.
