The Marriott development carries an estimated price tag of $1.3 billion and will feature 300 guest rooms and 524 residences. Underscoring the attractive location of the Marriott and Wynn properties, the Marriott venue will be 30 minutes away from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and an hour\u2019s drive from Dubai International Airport.<\/p>\n

We are thrilled to be a part of the new development in Al Marjan Island. It is truly a unique project that will provide an unparalleled experience for visitors and residents alike,\u201d said Jaidev Menezes, regional vice president of mixed-use development in Europe, the Middle East and Africa for Marriott International, in a statement. \u201cWith its stunning beaches, luxurious outlets and world-class amenities, Al Marjan Island is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after destinations in the world.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Las Vegas-based Wynn broke ground on Wynn Al Marjan Island<\/a> earlier this year and targets an early 2027 opening date.<\/p>\n

Marriott Project Could Push Wynn to Open Sooner<\/h2>\n

In theory, the JW Marriott Al Marjan Island Resort and JW Marriott Residences Al Marjan Island aren\u2019t direct competitors to Wynn Al Marjan Island because the latter is angling to become the UAE\u2019s first regulated casino hotel.<\/p>\n

However, the Marriott announcement stirred speculation that Wynn could accelerate its UAE timeline because Marriott hopes\u00a0to have its venue open by late 2026.<\/p>\n

\n

Wynn Al Marjan Island, which hasn’t yet been awarded a gaming license, is envisioned as one of the world\u2019s largest gaming facilities. The property will include resort amenities, a hotel with 500 rooms and suites and 24 dining options, all featuring ocean views. The property will also have a 1,000-foot-tall tower and several beachfront villas.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Wynn is partnering with RAK Hospitality Holding LLC, a local hotel developer, on the project, and it\u2019s estimated the US company\u2019s stake will be around a third. The project is estimated to cost close to $4 billion.<\/p>\n

Marriott UAE Venture Could Bode Well for Wynn<\/h2>\n

Ultimately, Marriott and Wynn will compete to fill guest rooms, but the former venue could benefit the latter by sending guests to the integrated for gaming and entertainment.<\/p>\n

\n

Additionally, a traditional US-based hotelier with the gravitas of Marriott entering Al Marjan Island signals that Wynn was wise in picking that location, a recently affirmed by Dubai, indicating it will be some time before it considers casino gaming.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Some analysts expect that UAE may unveil a gaming framework before the end of this year, which could set the stage for approval of Wynn\u2019s casino bid at some point in 2024. The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), the United Arab Emirates (UAE) first casino gaming regulator, was formed in September.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
