Ras Al Khaimah casino project: Wynn Al Marjan's 2027 plans

Can visitors enter Wynn Al Marjan today?

Where things stand

As of 10 August 2026, the Ras Al Khaimah casino within Wynn Al Marjan Island had not opened to the public. The property is on Al Marjan Island; Wynn's most recent guidance sets guest opening for September 2027.

At-a-glance project record

Use the dated entries below to distinguish work already completed from plans still ahead. Wynn may revise schedules or operating information, so each time-sensitive item is tied to its latest available official reference.

The construction site is not yet a place to stay, dine or enter the gaming floor. Wynn's email updates form only collects interest; it cannot secure a room or provide admission.

Inside the Wynn Al Marjan Island development

A destination with more than gaming

Developers call Wynn Al Marjan Island the UAE's first integrated resort, and it is Wynn's first project of this kind across the Middle East and North Africa. Its planned components include a hotel and licensed gaming venue alongside restaurants, shops, entertainment, a spa, beach, marina and event space.

Island setting and development group

Facing the Arabian Gulf, the site spans more than 60 hectares on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The joint venture brings together entities linked with Wynn Resorts, Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding. The GCGRA register identifies Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC as the licensed entity.

What the resort format tells you

A large share of the announced plans relates to stays, food, the waterfront, shows and events, rather than gaming alone. That breadth is why the project is described as an integrated resort; Wynn has yet to disclose the casino's specific game selection.

September 2027 is Wynn's current opening target

What the company most recently reported

Wynn's second-quarter results, released 4 August 2026, name September 2027 as the month guests are expected to arrive. This replaces earlier references that gave only 2027, its first quarter, or spring.

How the schedule evolved

The earlier investor timetable pointed to the first quarter of 2027. In May 2026 Wynn flagged a modest slip without giving a revised month; the August update then set September 2027 as its present guidance.

Treat the date as a target

A Wynn earnings release is a more direct source than a travel listing, yet September remains a projection while finishing work continues. Before committing to non-refundable travel, check the resort's official site and the company's investor news for changes.

Key dates in the development's history

From concept to a scheduled resort

Read these events in date order: the project advanced from an initial island proposal to a licensed facility now under construction, with September 2027 as the stated guest opening. Older schedule references should be read in that context.

Two separate tower milestones

Wynn's project story dates the 70-floor tower ceremony to 25 November 2025. Company updates later place structural concrete completion in December 2025. The table retains both dates because they describe separate events.

Building progress reported by August 2026

Main tower and exterior panels

In its 2 February 2026 update, Wynn reported concrete structure completed to the level 71 roof. Crews had installed 21,852 of 26,471 facade panels, or 83%. The guest website calls the building a 70-floor tower; both descriptions are retained as published, without inferring a new floor count. Interim height figures vary across Wynn releases, while the stated finished target remains 352 metres above sea level once the spire is fitted.

Fit-out and smaller structures

Lift and escalator work was advancing, alongside mechanical, electrical and finishing tasks across guest areas. Concrete and structural steel on the low-rise buildings had reached 99% combined completion. That figure measures construction progress, not readiness to receive visitors.

The road connection

Wynn Bridge, a planned 548-metre link, will connect via Wynn Boulevard with E311 and E611. On 2 February 2026 it stood at 48%: piling was complete and nine of ten column pile caps had been placed. Wynn's target at that point was completion in late 2026.

Newer progress information

The August results described rapid construction progress, and Wynn's second-quarter presentation showed extensive interior activity on 15 July 2026. Those materials did not provide updated facade or bridge percentages. The dated February measurements therefore remain the latest published figures for those items.

How large is the gaming area?

The number in Wynn's annual filing

The 2025 annual report Wynn filed in March 2026 gives the gaming space as 225,000 sq ft, equivalent to roughly 20,900 sqm. This is the latest direct company figure, so it is the primary measurement here.

The earlier 18,500 sqm estimate

Older news stories and property pages often give an approximate 18,500 sqm. Wynn has not explained whether this refers to a distinct area or why it differs from the annual filing. It is therefore presented as an earlier estimate, not combined with the newer figure.

What remains unknown about the casino

A floor-area figure says nothing about table or slot counts, the selection of games, or how public and private areas may be divided. Wynn had released none of those specifics by 10 August 2026; a precise list would need a later statement from the operator.

Guest rooms, suites and residences

Inside the total of 1,530 units

According to Wynn's February construction report, structural work was complete across its 1,530-unit accommodation inventory, while interior finishing continued. The categories below add up to that total, including apartments, townhomes and estates.

The Enclave concept

Enclave occupies upper levels as a hotel within the larger hotel, with dedicated arrival space, entrance and elevators. It is designed around suites and distinct service. Wynn has not yet shared rates, packages or a date for reservations.

Understanding the older 1,542 figure

Some older Wynn announcements gave 1,542 rooms, a number that remains on competitor sites. The February 2026 building update and current resort information list each accommodation category and total 1,530, which is the figure used in this guide.

Dining, live shows, shopping and artwork

A planned collection of 22 dining venues

Wynn's resort site describes 22 restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as a beach club open during the day. Announced names include Alain Ducasse's French-American steakhouse and a second Delilah supper club. Reservations at the restaurants had not opened by this update.

A new Punchdrunk production

Wynn announced on 29 June 2026 that an original work by Punchdrunk will launch alongside the resort. The planned experience offers a seated upstairs performance or a moving, immersive route through downstairs and backstage spaces. Wynn has not set ticket prices or performance dates.

Shops and works of art

A naturally lit retail parterre is planned for luxury labels, though no complete tenant list is available. Art is intended for guest rooms and shared areas. Named highlights include Jeff Koons' 11-metre Tulips, alongside historical and contemporary pieces by artists from the region and elsewhere.

A waterfront stay: beach, pools, spa and marina

Coastline and yacht harbour

The design sets aside 420 metres of private white-sand shore and a deep-water marina intended for large yachts. Plans also include a beach club for daytime use. Wynn has not explained whether day visitors may enter or whether passes will be sold.

Swimming and wellness amenities

The resort lists 12 pools, cabanas and landscaped grounds, plus a five-star spa, salon and gym. No treatment rates, pool access terms or operating hours are available yet, making it too early to estimate those costs.

Facilities for families

Wynn's amenities include a children's club and outdoor activities, indicating a family offer beyond gaming. The company has not specified eligible ages, charges or supervision policies. Families should confirm the rules before making childcare arrangements.

Coral Court for conferences and celebrations

The 7,708 sqm event venue

Coral Court serves as the planned event and celebration hub across 7,708 sqm. Its design includes six rooms that can be reconfigured, separate bride and groom salons, and private prayer rooms for women and men.

Grand Ballroom overlooking the marina

Without internal columns, the 2,633 sqm Grand Ballroom looks out over the marina. Area alone cannot tell planners how many people fit: tables, staging, aisles and technical equipment all affect usable capacity.

Questions for event sales

As of 10 August 2026, Wynn had not issued package details, prices or minimum spend requirements. When enquiries open, ask for capacity layouts and a written quote that covers catering, technical production, access and cancellation terms.

Getting to the Al Marjan Island resort

Airport options and Dubai travel time

Wynn Al Marjan is in Ras Al Khaimah on Al Marjan Island. Its website puts Ras Al Khaimah International Airport around 15 minutes away by road. A Wynn financing announcement from 2025 estimated a journey of roughly 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport.

What the bridge is intended to do

The 548-metre Wynn Bridge should provide a more direct connection from the property to surrounding roads. Wynn's latest detailed account still described building work, so check for a completion notice or a confirmed route before relying on it.

Before setting off

The hotel, marina and event venue could have different drop-off points, so verify your destination with Wynn once reservations are available. Keep spare time in the itinerary and only pay for transport documented in your booking.

• Confirm the correct airport, terminal and flight details with your driver.
• Check same-day conditions on E311 and E611 and the bridge route.
• Get the hotel entrance and luggage drop-off location in advance.
• Ask about accessible entry, parking and valet when you reserve.

Who holds the gaming facility licence?

Licensee named in the GCGRA register

Under land-based gaming facilities, the GCGRA register names Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan. Wynn said on 4 October 2024 that this project company had received the UAE's first commercial gaming facility operator licence.

Scope of the listed authorisation

The register connects the named business with a licence for this land-based site. A separate entry identifies The Game LLC as the UAE Lottery operator, placing lottery products in another licence category. Once open, Wynn Al Marjan is expected to be the Gulf Cooperation Council's first licensed casino. For the wider rules, see our UAE gambling laws guide.

Policies guests should look for

Ahead of opening, Wynn is expected to publish gaming-floor rules covering age, identification, entry, safer play and complaints. Until the property issues its own conditions, policies from other Wynn venues should not be assumed to apply.

Details still awaiting an announcement

What was public on 10 August 2026

Plans can change as opening approaches. The snapshot below separates published facts from unanswered questions, helping distinguish an update registration, an artist's rendering or a third-party offer from a confirmed service or reservation.

Signing up only requests news

Visitors can leave an email address and select interests on Wynn's website to receive updates. This does not hold a room, meal or theatre place, establish a rate, or give priority unless a separate confirmation says so.

Cross-checking a claim

For project information, compare Wynn's site with the GCGRA licensee list and its latest investor statement. A fact missing from those sources is still unannounced; another Wynn property's rules cannot fill that gap.

1. Check when the source was published, including beyond the headline.
2. Distinguish a projected construction date from a finished milestone.
3. Once reservations are offered, retain the confirmation and cancellation policy.

Safer planning for a future visit

Check eligibility and set a limit

This guide is intended for adults aged 18 or older. GCGRA advertising standards classify people below 21 as underage for commercial gaming, except lottery. Wynn had not issued final gaming-floor ID and entry conditions at the time of this update. Confirm the rules first, and remember that hotel access may not cover every part of the resort.

An illustrative AED plan

For example only, imagine allocating 800 United Arab Emirates dirhams (AED) to a future day's entertainment. Reserve AED 500 for transport, meals and unexpected costs, then cap gaming spend at AED 300. These amounts illustrate budgeting and are not Wynn prices.

Decide when to stop in advance

Before entering the gaming area, choose a spending ceiling and a departure time. Leave other cards and money outside the plan. If either limit is met, end the session instead of using contingency funds or chasing a loss.

• Keep rent, household bills and borrowed funds out of play.
• Avoid increasing a stake to win back what you lost.
• Schedule breaks and set an alarm for your planned finish.
• Once at your limit, do not make an ATM withdrawal.
• If available, use Wynn's cooling-off or self-exclusion options when needed.
