History

Wynn Resorts secured the first gaming license awarded in the United Arab Emirates in 2024 while Wynn Al Marjan Island was under construction. This will make Wynn Al Marjan Island the first casino resort in the UAE.[15][16] Wynn Resorts stands to have a monopoly on gaming in the UAE for the first several years before other potential casinos may open.[17] Authorities in the UAE have indicated that they have no plans to award additional casino licenses in the immediate future and it is unknown when that might happen.[18][19]

By the end of 2024, construction on the property was progressing quickly. 55% of structural concrete was in place and complete up to the 26th floor. 73% of the guest rooms were also in place. Wynn Resorts expects a topping out by December 2025, with the resort opening in early 2027.[20] Wynn has also acquired an additional 155 acres of land on Al Marjan Island for further development of Wynn Al Marjan Island.[21] Wynn confirmed this acquisition in September of 2025. The additional property has been described as being a “second integrated resort”. The existing plot of land will be expanded through land reclamation. The addition of an adjoining resort also includes an agreement for issuing an IPO.[22][23]

In early 2025, Wynn Resorts acquired the Crown London Aspinalls casino in London from Crown Resorts. It was rebranded as Wynn Mayfair in June 2025.[24] The purpose of this acquisition is to bring British gamblers to Wynn Al Marjan Island after it opens.[25]

By February 2025, Wynn Resorts had completed financing for Wynn Al Marjan Island.[26][27] It has also been reported that there has been high demand for retail space at the new resort. Rolex has been mentioned as a retailer likely to have a store at the resort.[28]

Wynn Resorts commenced the process of hiring staff for the resort in May of 2025. Multiple job openings were listed less than two years prior to the resort’s planned opening.[29] As June 2025 approached, the resort was reaching 60% completion.[30]
