MGM Resorts opens first casino in Macau

MACAU: MGM Resorts opened its US$3.4 billion (RM13.4 billion) casino resort in Macau yesterday. MGM Cotai marks a major expansion in non-gaming attractions amid uncertainty over the renewal process of its casino licence that expires in two years. The opening comes at a time of surging casino revenues. Macau’s January numbers stormed past expectations with a 36 per cent year-onyear jump on demand from big whale gamblers and mom-and-pop mass punters.
