UAE’s First Casino Resort: Wynn Al Marjan Island’s Unveiling Foretells Legal Gambling Horizon
In a grand reveal, the design for Wynn Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah’s upcoming luxury resort and casino, has been showcased, marking a significant stride towards its much-anticipated opening in early 2027. This venture marks the iconic Wynn Resorts’ maiden foray into the Middle East, with the establishment poised to be a beachfront marvel rising 305 meters above the tranquil Arabian Gulf waters.
The journey commenced in January 2022 when Wynn Resorts announced its ambitious project. The planned resort is an epitome of luxury with an array of 1,500 meticulously designed rooms, suites, and villas. The tranquil and aesthetic ambiance of the resort is intricately intertwined with the oceanic backdrop, ensuring a serene and chic interior decor.
Wynn Al Marjan Island isn’t just a resort; it’s an experience. With a multi-billion dollar investment of USD 3.9 billion, the integrated resort is a haven for guests seeking a blend of relaxation, entertainment, and luxury shopping. The state-of-the-art events facility, an exclusive spa, and an extensive array of 24 dining and lounge venues, promise a lavish stay for the guests.

A significant highlight of the resort is the UAE’s inaugural casino, as confirmed by Wynn Resorts CEO, Craig Billings, in September 2022. The casino resort is envisaged to surpass the scale of Wynn Las Vegas, holding promise for avid gamers. Besides the casino, guests can immerse themselves in a world of entertainment with a theater for unique productions and daily light and laser shows.
As the construction activities gain momentum, the resort’s emergence is keenly observed by many, considering Marjan Island already hosts a plethora of resorts from notable brands like Movenpick, Radisson, Hilton, and Rixos. The upcoming years also hold promise with the inauguration of a budget-friendly Rove hotel in 2024, and the arrival of the luxury brand Nobu Hotels, enhancing the island’s hospitality landscape further.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is not merely a resort; it’s a milestone in Ras Al Khaimah’s burgeoning luxury hospitality scene, setting a high bar for future developments. With a blend of luxury, entertainment, and the serenity of the ocean, it’s a venture that encapsulates the essence of a premium hospitality experience in the heart of the Middle East.
