MGM Resorts’ latest financial call from April 30 provided more insight into the future of the resort and entertainment company’s development of a resort complex in Dubai.
Bill Hornbuckle, MGM’s CEO and President, told reporters and those on the call that the development is set to be completed in the third quarter of 2027, and that they’re working on getting approval for a casino.
“We are building an environment that can accommodate [gaming],” said Hornbuckle. “And that building is due to complete third quarter of '27. We are literally up on the fifth floor of the MGM Tower as we speak. And so it's [a] pretty exciting building. It's an exciting project, a truly interesting resort with all kinds of features. And so hopefully, we'll get to add gaming.”
According to Skift, the company has been trying to break into the United Arab Emirates for around twenty years, with the resort complex originally announced seventeen years ago as “The Island,” comprising Aria, Bellagio and MGM-branded resorts within a 26-acre man-made island along Dubai’s coastline.
