Built on the man-made Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, the resort is currently scheduled to open in 2026, with Wynn aware of “opportunities to develop beyond that.” The location will work to further increase Wynn's global presence and accessibility, with “95% of the world's population within an eight-hour flight of the Wynn brand.”
Billings said: “There has been tremendous modernisation and progression in the UAE. The Dubai airport sees more than 80 million passengers a year. There's an amazing amount of inbound visitation from Europe, the Middle East, India and other surrounding countries. We believe there will be a robust cash-based business like we have here. We see it as a real extension of our brand.”
