Wynn Resorts Ltd., the Las Vegas-based hotel and casino operator, plans to develop a multi-billion-dollar resort off the coast of the United Arab Emirates which is set to include a “gaming area.”
The project, set to be built on Al Marjan island in the UAE emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, comes as the sheikhdom’s Tourism Development Authority, known as RAKTDA, formed a new division to regulate what it called “integrated resorts” which are set to include gaming facilities, according to an e-mailed statement from the authority.
