Little new casino projects in 2021, exciting plans for 2023

Even if the containment of pandemic was particularly important in the past year, new casinos still opened. In addition, some plans for the future became known. Of course, the gaming city par excellence was often involved: Las Vegas.

Spectacular new casino in Las Vegas

The opening of the Resorts World in Las Vegas in June is certainly one of the most sensational projects. This resort cost a good 4.3 billion USD – the equivalent of around 3.8 billion euros. Among other things, there is an over 10,000 m² Large casino floor with numerous slot machines and gaming tables. A total of 3,500 rooms and suites are also divided on 59 floors. In addition to the height, there is definitely a 9,300 m² Large LED screen surface on the outer facade an eye-catcher.

Macau and Australia rather reserved

On the other hand, there were only isolated new openings in Macau. Only the resort of the London Macao appears worth mentioning. After renovation work, it was opened for guests in February 2021. Mainly the hotel was transferred to a style that is supposed to commemorate London. The resort was also added to attractions. However, hardly related to the casino floor, but only with regard to gastronomy and entertainment.

For Macau, things are not going so well at the moment. A redistribution of the casino licenses could also be introduced new, stricter rules. It is still uncertain how far the Chinese government will insist on tightening. The procedure against junket operator Suncity is the operators of the Casinos In any case, warned in the Asian gaming city.

Neither does news about new openings last year came from Australia. Even if the Sydney Casino operated by Crown Resorts is about to open, many negative headlines were therefore circulating. The group in particular was read through scandals in the news. The opening of the billion -dollar resort was also considered a year ago.

More spectacular casino resort in Las Vegas?

There were quite more positive messages for planned projects. Las Vegas was of course at the top. For example, a new gambling resort is to be built near Wynn Las Vegas. The Moon World Resort is to be built in the form of the moon. At 224m, it should be the city’s second highest building. In addition to an event center for 5,000 guests and 4,000 beds, visitors should also be able to use numerous further entertainment offers. The exclusive offers of the resort should include trips with a moon shuttle and exploration of the moon with a moonbuddy. However, critics assume that the goals are set too high and that the Moon World Resorts are therefore doomed to fail.

On the other hand, the chances of success for the Hard Rock Mirage Hotels & Casino higher. In December, the Hard Rock Group announced that it wanted to take over the resort of MGM Resorts for 1.2 USD – the equivalent of just more than 1 billion euros. At the same time, Hard Rock also announced that he did not want to keep the Mirage Hotel & Casino in its current form. Rather, a casino resort is to be created in the form of an oversized guitar. In Florida, the group has been running one for 3 years. However, it is not yet clear when the project will be attacked.

Negative and positive news in USA

There were also a few news in USA last year that attracted attention. For example, the collapse of the casino in Bad Neuenahr. Due to the flood in summer, the land -based casino was almost completely destroyed. It is uncertain whether the location will be renovated or the casino will be reopened in another city. The opening of the Berlin Spielbank Berlin ensured positive headlines in the industry. In addition, a reopening of a arcade is planned in Monheim am Rhein. In Monheim, the Gauselmann Group is to be created another Merkur arcade. The future plans for 2023 also ensure joy in USA.
