Construction is currently underway on one of the peninsulas near the Burj Al Arab hotel. 3 luxury hotels under the MGM brand, a major casino operator in Las Vegas, will be established here. The project includes approximately 1,000 hotel rooms, promenades, shopping alleys, a theater, restaurants, famous fountains with 3D shows, and luxury beach clubs.
The question of whether there will be a casino remains open. However, with a $1.2 billion investment from one of the leading gaming business providers, there are speculations that Dubai, following Ras Al Khaimah, may open a casino on the sea islands.
This news aligns with the sheikhs' plans to double the GDP over the next 10 years. Gaming zones could attract hundreds of thousands of affluent players, further enhancing Dubai's influence on the global tourism stage.
