Wynn’s Al Marjan Gaming Resort in RAK Confirmed for 2027 Launch

A landmark project, Wynn Al Marjan, is set to debut in 2027 on Marjan Islands, Ras Al Khaimah. Construction is progressing steadily, with the tower already rising past its 61st floor.

Scale and Investment

The resort is a joint development between Wynn Resorts, Marjan, and RAK Hospitality Holding. With an investment of nearly USD 3.9 billion, the project spans over 60 hectares extending into the Arabian Gulf.

Features and Offerings

• 1,542 luxury hotel keys will anchor the resort.

• More than 22 restaurants and lounges will offer diverse dining and entertainment options.

• The property will combine gaming facilities with extensive non-gaming amenities, appealing to both leisure travelers and international tourists.

Economic and Tourism Impact

Officials confirm the project will play a pivotal role in boosting Ras Al Khaimah’s tourism sector, contributing to the emirate’s goal of welcoming 3.5 million visitors by 2030. Beyond tourism, the development will spark growth in real estate and surrounding businesses, with residential units and apartments planned around the resort.

Jobs and Timeline

Recruitment is ongoing, with dozens of job vacancies already advertised. Staffing levels are expected to reach about 300 employees by the end of 2025. The project remains firmly on track for its official opening in March 2027.

Wider Market Context

The introduction of Wynn Al Marjan follows the UAE’s issuance of its first commercial gaming licence in 2024, setting the stage for what industry leaders expect could become a USD 5 billion gaming market. Alongside this, Ras Al Khaimah is developing RAK Central, a new business district scheduled to welcome enterprises and hospitality projects by 2027, ensuring the emirate maintains its position as a fast-growing hub for tourism, investment, and real estate.
