Wynn Resorts unveils two gaming zones at UAE’s first casino, Wynn Al Marjan Island, featuring a grand casino and an exclusive sky gaming area.
The UAE’s first casino, Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, will have two gaming spaces. One will be a large 224,000-square-foot casino. The other will be a private gaming area with sky views.
Wynn Resorts, the operator behind the project, confirmed the details. The resort aims to attract both tourists and high-stakes players.
Gaming Is There But Entertainment is Key
"We're building two different gaming spaces," said David Loiseau, Wynn's global gaming operations director. His statement ended with talk about a possible third gaming area. The resort plans to open in early 2027.
Wynn will be the only casino in the country for several years, giving it a strong position to monopolize the market.
“We’ll have a sky gaming casino on the 22nd floor and the main casino. We’re putting all the ingredients together to make sure that entertainment will be at the heart of this destination,” Loiseau said.
New Rules for a New Market
The UAE created the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) to oversee this new industry. Jim Murren, who leads the GCGRA, earlier lauded Wynn’s ability to balance gaming and non-gaming features alike. With UAE’s reputation as a powerhouse in the tourism industry, reports earlier projected a boost in gaming revenue.
Beyond the Casino Floor
Gaming will take up just 10% of the resort's space, according to Loiseau. The rest will offer luxury hotel rooms, famous chef restaurants, a nightclub, and a 900-seat theater.
What Visitors Can Expect
Wynn is using the same formula that worked well in Las Vegas and Macau – mixing gaming with high-end entertainment that fits the local culture.
For both UAE residents and tourists, the resort will offer a new type of luxury experience when it opens in 2027, bringing Vegas excitement with Middle Eastern style.
