The Ras Al Khaimah casino forms part of Wynn Al Marjan Island on Al Marjan Island, but it was not open to the public on 10 August 2026. Wynn's latest official guidance places the resort's guest opening in September 2027.
Use this panel to distinguish finished milestones from planned work, with a date beside every time-sensitive figure. Opening and operating details may change, so each entry identifies the latest official reference available.
| Item | Confirmed status | Reference date |
|---|---|---|
| Current resort status | Construction ongoing, with visits not open | 10 August 2026 |
| Opening date | September 2027 | Wynn results, 4 August 2026 |
| Gaming licence | GCGRA lists Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan | Current GCGRA register |
| Tower description | 70 floors and a planned final height of 352 metres above sea level | Current resort website |
| Guest inventory | Structural completion reached for all 1,530 units | 2 February 2026 |
| Gaming area | 225,000 sq ft, equivalent to about 20,900 sqm | Wynn 2025 annual filing, March 2026 |
A construction site cannot be treated as a bookable or visitable hotel, restaurant or gaming floor. Wynn does provide an email update form, but submitting it creates neither a reservation nor an admission ticket.
Wynn Al Marjan Island will be Wynn's first integrated resort in the Middle East and North Africa, and its developers call it the UAE's first integrated resort. The destination is planned to bring together a hotel, licensed gaming facility, dining, entertainment, retail, spa, beach, marina and events centre.
More than 60 hectares of Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah are covered by the project, which faces the Arabian Gulf. It is a joint venture involving entities linked to Wynn Resorts, Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding; the gaming licence register names Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC as the relevant entity.
Calling it an integrated resort signals something broader than a hotel built around a gaming floor. Published material so far focuses mainly on accommodation, restaurants, beaches, events and entertainment, whereas the detailed game mix has not been announced.
In its second quarter results on 4 August 2026, Wynn gave September 2027 as the month when the resort will welcome guests. That named month supersedes pages that mention only 2027, first quarter 2027 or spring 2027.
Earlier investor updates aimed for the first quarter of 2027. After Wynn warned in May 2026 that a modest delay would be quantified later, its August release filled in the detail and shifted the current guidance to September 2027.
A results release from the company carries more weight than a property listing or travel blog, yet it is still a forecast for a resort undergoing fit-out. Before paying for a non-refundable trip, revisit the official resort website and Wynn investor releases.
Reading the announcements in order prevents an earlier target from being confused with the current one. The sequence tracks the Ras Al Khaimah casino from an initial proposal through licensing and construction to a stated opening month.
| Date | Milestone | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 25 January 2022 | Joint project announced on Al Marjan Island | Initial scope and timing formed the concept |
| 4 October 2024 | Wynn announced receipt of a commercial gaming facility operator licence | The project became the UAE's first licensed commercial gaming facility |
| 25 November 2025 | A site ceremony marked the 70-floor hotel tower reaching its top | A visible milestone was reached by the main tower |
| December 2025 | Later Wynn updates recorded structural concrete completion | Work moved further into crown, facade and interior phases |
| 2 February 2026 | Facade reached 83%, all accommodation units gained structural completion and Wynn Bridge reached 48% | Still the latest detailed release of construction percentages |
| 11 March 2026 | Construction resumed following a short pause | A status update, not an opening or cancellation notice |
| 29 June 2026 | Wynn announced an original Punchdrunk theatre production | A headline show was confirmed for the opening programme |
| 15 July 2026 | Wynn's investor presentation showed extensive interior work underway | The latest visual snapshot showed an active fit-out phase |
| 4 August 2026 | September 2027 was named as the month the doors will open | Use this as the current official planning date |
A Wynn project story places the 70-floor ceremony on 25 November 2025, whereas later corporate updates put the structural concrete milestone in December 2025. Here, November refers to the site ceremony and December to the subsequent construction record, preserving both dates.
The 2 February 2026 Wynn release recorded structural concrete through the roof of level 71 and 21,852 fitted facade panels out of 26,471, or 83%. The guest website calls the tower 70 floors, so the two official descriptions are retained separately rather than turned into an inferred floor count. Wynn has also reported interim heights, while the stable published target remains 352 metres above sea level once the spire is installed.
Installation of elevators and escalators was advancing, with mechanical, electrical and finishing work also proceeding across the guest inventory. Concrete and structural steel work on the low-rise buildings had reached 99% combined, a figure that does not make those areas guest-ready.
Wynn Bridge is a new 548-metre link planned from the resort via Wynn Boulevard to E311 and E611. On 2 February 2026 it stood at 48% complete, with piling finished and nine of ten bridge column pile caps installed; Wynn's target at that point was completion in late 2026.
Wynn described construction as moving rapidly in its August results, while the second quarter presentation showed extensive interior work on 15 July 2026. Neither publication added a later facade or bridge percentage, so the February figures remain dated figures and are not extended through speculation.
Filed in March 2026, Wynn's annual report for 2025 gives the gaming area as 225,000 sq ft. That is about 20,900 sqm after conversion, and it is the figure used here because the report is the latest direct corporate filing.
Older property and news coverage, including current search results, often cites an approximate 18,500 sqm gaming floor. Wynn has not issued a reconciliation saying the measurements describe separate spaces, so 18,500 sqm is treated as the older estimate and not combined with the newer figure.
| Measure | Figure used | How to review it |
|---|---|---|
| Gaming area | 225,000 sq ft, about 20,900 sqm | Newest figure in Wynn's annual filing |
| Older figure still repeated online | About 18,500 sqm | Earlier estimate, not the current lead measurement |
| Development site | More than 60 hectares | Entire integrated resort, rather than only the gaming floor |
| Hotel tower | 70 floors | Description presented to resort guests |
| Structure in the February update | 299 metres through the level 71 roof | Construction measurement at that date, not final height |
| Planned height with spire | 352 metres above sea level | Architectural target published on the resort website |
A floor measurement cannot show how many tables or slots there will be, which games will be offered, or how space will be divided between general and private rooms. Wynn had released none of those details by 10 August 2026, so a precise inventory requires a newer operator source.
In its February construction update, Wynn said the full set of 1,530 accommodation units had structural completion, although interior fit-out continued. The breakdown below includes apartments, townhomes and estates within that total, avoiding double counting.
| Category | Number | Published description |
|---|---|---|
| Resort rooms | 1,217 | Main Resort Tower rooms and suites |
| Enclave suites | 297 | Upper-floor hotel-within-a-hotel accommodation |
| Royal Apartments | 2 | Apartments positioned at the tower's top |
| Garden Townhomes | 4 | Standalone garden accommodation in the plan |
| Marina Estates | 10 | Residences located beside the marina |
| Total | 1,530 | Current announced guest inventory |
Enclave is Wynn's hotel-within-a-hotel arrangement on the upper floors, served by its own entrance, arrival area and lifts. It is centred on suites and a distinct service setting, but Wynn has not announced rates, packages or a reservation opening date.
Older Wynn releases used the 1,542 figure, which competitors continue to repeat. The February 2026 construction release and current resort materials give a full category breakdown totalling 1,530, the total followed here.
The resort website currently outlines 22 restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as a daytime beach club for hotel guests and other visitors. Wynn has announced a French-American steakhouse by Alain Ducasse and a second Delilah supper club, though restaurant reservations were closed at this update.
Wynn announced an original Punchdrunk production on 29 June 2026 for the resort's debut. Once bookings begin, guests are expected to select either a conventional seated show upstairs or a roaming immersive experience downstairs and backstage; dates and prices have not been released.
The plans call for a naturally lit shopping parterre featuring luxury brands, but Wynn has not issued the complete list of shops. Art will run through public areas and guest rooms, with announced highlights such as Jeff Koons' 11-metre Tulips and historic and contemporary works by regional and international artists.
The resort plan provides for 420 metres of private white-sand beach and a deep-water marina able to receive large yachts. It also includes a daytime beach club, although rules for day passes and access by non-guests remain unpublished.
Wynn's list contains 12 pools with cabanas and landscaped surroundings, plus a five-star spa, salon and fitness centre. With treatment prices, opening hours and pool admission conditions still unavailable, they cannot yet be included in a dependable visit budget.
A kids' club appears beside outdoor recreation in the official amenities list, indicating that the resort's non-gaming facilities are intended to serve families too. Wynn has not released accepted ages, fees or supervision arrangements, so childcare plans should wait for the guest policy.
Coral Court is the events and celebrations centre, covering a published 7,708 sqm. Its plan includes six reconfigurable meeting rooms, separate salons for brides and grooms, and private prayer rooms for men and women.
At 2,633 sqm, the column-free Grand Ballroom overlooks the marina. The area is useful when comparing venues, but it cannot determine capacity because tables, stages, aisles and production equipment alter the seating plan.
By 10 August 2026, Wynn had published no venue packages, prices or minimum spends. When sales start, ask for written capacity information and a quotation that covers production, catering, cancellation and accessibility rather than deriving attendance from floor area alone.
Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah is the resort's location, not Dubai. Wynn's website gives about 15 minutes by car from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, while a 2025 Wynn financing release put the drive from Dubai International Airport at roughly 50 minutes.
| Starting point or route | Official information | Planning decision |
|---|---|---|
| Ras Al Khaimah International Airport | About 15 minutes by car on the resort website | Recheck the journey on arrival day because traffic varies |
| Dubai International Airport | About 50 minutes in Wynn's 2025 release, with the resort less than 50 miles away | Allow for baggage and traffic instead of treating the estimate as fixed |
| Wynn Bridge | Planned link through Wynn Boulevard to E311 and E611 | Late 2026 was the target, so check whether the route is open |
| Resort shuttle | No operating timetable or fare published | Do not rely on a service the operator has not announced |
| Parking and valet | Final operating details not published | Look for arrival instructions when reservations open |
The 548-metre bridge should give the resort a more direct connection to the wider road network, but the latest detailed release still treated it as a project under construction. Regard the route as unavailable until Wynn announces completion or a current mapping service shows it open.
After bookings open, check the final drop-off location because the hotel, events centre and marina may have different entrances. Leave spare time and do not pay for a transfer unless it is included in written reservation confirmation.
In the GCGRA licensee register, Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC appears under land-based gaming facilities and trades as Wynn Al Marjan. Wynn announced on 4 October 2024 that the project entity had obtained the UAE's first commercial gaming facility operator licence.
For this particular land-based facility, the register confirms a GCGRA licence for the named entity. The Game LLC is listed separately as the UAE Lottery operator, illustrating that lottery products and land-based facilities occupy different licence categories. When it opens, Wynn Al Marjan is positioned to become the Gulf Cooperation Council's first licensed casino; our UAE gambling laws page covers the wider regulatory context.
Before players are welcomed, Wynn should issue the gaming floor's final rules for age, identity, admission, responsible gaming and complaints. Rules from other Wynn properties cannot be assumed to apply here before those terms are published.
In the months before opening, operating details often move, making the unknowns as important to identify as the confirmed figures. This table keeps an email sign-up, design image or third-party offer from being read as a booking or operating commitment.
| Detail | Status on 10 August 2026 | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel bookings and room rates | Reservation date and prices not announced | Follow official updates and await Wynn's booking engine |
| Restaurant reservations | Not open on Wynn's dining page | Do not pay an unverified intermediary for a table |
| Casino game list | Table, machine and title counts not published | Await the operator's gaming information |
| Betting limits | Minimum and maximum stakes not published | Do not use limits from Wynn Las Vegas as a substitute |
| Age, ID and admission charges | Final Wynn conditions not published | Check the rules with Wynn and GCGRA before travelling |
| Dress code and opening hours | Not published | Read the guest guide when it appears |
| Shuttle, parking and valet | No operating timetable or pricing published | Ask for confirmation with the hotel booking |
| Theatre tickets | Interest registration available, schedule and prices incomplete | Registration does not constitute a ticket |
Visitors can submit an email address and areas of interest on Wynn's website for news and early updates. That submission reserves no room, restaurant or theatre seat, and sets neither a price nor priority without a separate booking confirmation.
Begin at the resort website, compare the licence with the GCGRA register, and compare the opening date with Wynn's newest investor release. When official channels omit a detail, label it unannounced instead of importing a policy from another resort.
This guide and its gaming material are intended for adults aged 18 and over. GCGRA advertising standards define anyone below 21 as underage for commercial gaming other than lottery, and Wynn had not published final gaming-floor identity and admission rules by this update, so check them before travelling and do not treat hotel access as access to every resort area.
For a worked example only, imagine a future one-day entertainment budget of 800 United Arab Emirates dirhams (AED), not a Wynn price. Reserve AED 500 for transport, food and contingency, and set AED 300 as the absolute gaming limit whatever the outcome.
Choose the spending ceiling and finishing time before entering the gaming area, leaving extra cards or funds outside the plan. Once either boundary is reached, leave instead of transferring contingency money to another stake or chasing a loss.
If gaming brings hidden spending, borrowing, anxiety, or neglect of work and relationships, stop. Our responsible gambling guide gives more detail on warning signs, stopping plans and support options.
The answers below rely on official information available on 10 August 2026. Revisit the opening date and entry terms when reservations begin, since operating details may change before then.
No. Building work is still in progress, and Wynn said on 4 August 2026 that it expects to receive guests from September 2027.
The latest Wynn guidance gives September 2027. The month appeared in the second quarter results on 4 August 2026 and replaces the earlier first quarter and spring 2027 targets.
The resort is on Al Marjan Island in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, away from Dubai. Wynn estimates about 15 minutes by car from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport.
Wynn's most recent annual filing gives the gaming area as 225,000 sq ft, or roughly 20,900 sqm. Earlier project coverage often used about 18,500 sqm, but this guide uses the newer company filing.
The confirmed accommodation total is 1,530 units: 1,217 Resort rooms, 297 Enclave suites, two Royal Apartments, four Garden Townhomes and 10 Marina Estates.
GCGRA, the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, issued the licence to Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan. Wynn said on 4 October 2024 that this was the UAE's first commercial gaming facility operator licence.
By 10 August 2026, Wynn had not announced when hotel reservations would begin, and restaurant bookings remained closed on its dining page. An email sign-up is only an update request, not a reservation, guaranteed rate or priority place.
As at 10 August 2026, Wynn had published no table-game list, slot-machine list or betting limits. Wait for the operator's gaming information and entry conditions rather than borrowing figures from another Wynn property.
Wynn puts Ras Al Khaimah International Airport at around 15 minutes by car and previously estimated roughly 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport. Both times depend on traffic, while Wynn Bridge was still under construction in the February 2026 update.
GCGRA advertising standards treat anyone below 21 as underage for commercial gaming, excluding lottery products. On 10 August 2026, Wynn had not issued final gaming-floor ID and admission rules, so travellers should check with Wynn and GCGRA before going.
