CETV NEWS UPDATE — THE MIDDLE EAST · 2026

The First Casino in the Middle East.

Wynn Al Marjan Island · Ras Al Khaimah, UAE · Opening Spring 2027 · The UAE's First Licensed Casino

Wynn Resorts has officially secured the first commercial gaming operator license in the United Arab Emirates, marking a transformative milestone for the Middle East's hospitality and entertainment sector. The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA) issued the license for the multi-billion dollar Wynn Al Marjan Island project currently under construction in Ras Al Khaimah. This historic development signals the UAE's strategic move to establish a highly regulated and transparent gaming environment that aligns with international best practices.

The resort is rising on a man-made island reclaimed from the Arabian Gulf, featuring a signature 300-meter-tall tower that will house 1,540 rooms, suites, and villas. Beyond the gaming floor, which is designed to be larger than that of Wynn Las Vegas, the destination will offer 22 world-class dining experiences, a massive shopping esplanade, and state-of-the-art event spaces. The architectural design is inspired by the natural landscape of the UAE, blending modern structural elegance with the soft curves of the coast and desert dunes.

Economic analysts project that Wynn Al Marjan Island will significantly boost tourism to Ras Al Khaimah, positioning the emirate as a major competitor to global gaming hubs like Macau and Singapore. The project has already spurred substantial infrastructure investment in the area, including luxury residential developments and high-end retail hubs. As the 2027 opening date approaches, CETV will continue to provide exclusive on-the-ground updates on construction progress, licensing frameworks, and the broader impact on the global casino destinations market.
