The Ras Al Khaimah casino is part of Wynn Al Marjan Island on Al Marjan Island, but it was still closed to the public on 10 August 2026. Wynn's latest official guidance schedules guest opening for September 2027.
The panel separates finished milestones from planned dates and attaches a reference date to each time-sensitive detail. Opening and operating information may change, so every row uses the latest official source available.
| Item | Confirmed status | Reference date |
|---|---|---|
| Resort status | Under construction, not open for visits | 10 August 2026 |
| Opening date | September 2027 | Wynn results, 4 August 2026 |
| Licence | Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan, appears on the GCGRA register | Current GCGRA register |
| Tower | 70 floors, with a final planned height of 352 metres above sea level | Current resort website |
| Accommodation inventory | All 1,530 units structurally complete | 2 February 2026 |
| Gaming area | 225,000 sq ft, about 20,900 sqm | Wynn 2025 annual filing, March 2026 |
A construction site is not the same as an operating hotel, restaurant or gaming floor available for entry or booking. Wynn does provide an email update form, but submitting it does not reserve a room or grant admission.
Wynn Al Marjan Island is Wynn's first integrated resort in the Middle East and North Africa, and its developers call it the UAE's first. The single destination is planned to include a hotel, licensed gaming facility, restaurants, entertainment, retail, spa, beach, marina and events centre.
More than 60 hectares of the project lie on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, facing the Arabian Gulf. The joint venture brings together entities linked with Wynn Resorts, Marjan and RAK Hospitality Holding; the gaming licence register names Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC.
This development is more than a hotel built around a gaming floor. Published plans focus on accommodation, dining, beaches, events and entertainment, whereas the precise selection of games has not yet been announced.
In its second quarter results on 4 August 2026, Wynn named September 2027 as the month when guests should enter the resort. That is the latest month-specific guidance, replacing references to 2027 generally, the first quarter of 2027 or spring 2027.
Earlier investor material pointed to the first quarter of 2027. Wynn mentioned a modest delay in May 2026 without quantifying it then, and the August release supplied the revised guidance of September 2027.
An earnings release is better evidence than a property listing or travel blog, yet it is still a forward-looking statement while the resort is being fitted out. Before buying a non-refundable trip, check the official resort website and Wynn's investor releases again.
Reading the announcements in order prevents an earlier target from being treated as the present one. The sequence traces the Ras Al Khaimah casino from an initial proposal to a licensed facility under construction with a stated opening month.
| Date | Milestone | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 25 January 2022 | Joint project announced for Al Marjan Island | The concept launched with preliminary scope and timing |
| 4 October 2024 | Wynn announced receipt of the commercial gaming facility operator licence | The project turned into the UAE's first licensed commercial gaming facility |
| 25 November 2025 | A site ceremony marked the 70-floor hotel tower reaching its top | The main tower reached a visible construction milestone |
| December 2025 | Wynn's later updates recorded structural concrete completion | Work moved further into the crown, facade and interior phases |
| 2 February 2026 | Facade reached 83%, all accommodation units were structurally complete and Wynn Bridge reached 48% | This stands as the latest detailed construction percentage release |
| 11 March 2026 | Construction resumed after a short pause | This counted as a status update, not an opening or cancellation notice |
| 29 June 2026 | Wynn announced an original theatre production with Punchdrunk | The opening entertainment programme picked up a confirmed headline show |
| 15 July 2026 | Wynn's investor presentation showed extensive interior work in progress | The latest visual snapshot showed the fit-out phase was active |
| 4 August 2026 | September 2027 was named for opening the doors | This is the current official date for planning purposes |
A Wynn project story places the 70-floor ceremony on 25 November 2025, while later corporate updates record structural concrete completion in December 2025. The timeline keeps November as the site ceremony and December as the later construction record instead of combining them.
In the 2 February 2026 release, Wynn said structural concrete had reached the roof of level 71 and that 21,852 of 26,471 facade panels were installed, or 83%. The guest website calls it a 70-floor tower, so both official descriptions remain separate here rather than producing a calculated floor count. Interim height figures have varied across Wynn releases; the consistent published target is 352 metres above sea level after the spire is fitted.
Installation of elevators and escalators was progressing, alongside mechanical, electrical and finishing work throughout the guest inventory. Low-rise buildings had reached 99% combined concrete and structural steel completion, but that percentage does not mean the areas can receive guests.
Wynn Bridge, a new 548-metre structure, is planned to connect the resort via Wynn Boulevard with E311 and E611. On 2 February 2026 it was 48% complete, piling was finished and nine of ten bridge column pile caps were in place; Wynn was aiming for completion in late 2026.
Wynn's August results said construction was advancing rapidly, while the second quarter presentation showed substantial interior work on 15 July 2026. Neither publication supplied a later facade or bridge percentage, so the February measurements remain dated figures rather than estimates increased without evidence.
Wynn's 2025 annual report, filed in March 2026, records a gaming area of 225,000 sq ft. The equivalent is about 20,900 sqm, and this guide uses it because it is the latest figure in a direct corporate filing.
Older property and news reports, including current search results, often repeat an approximate 18,500 sqm gaming floor. Wynn has not explained whether the measurements cover different spaces, so 18,500 sqm remains an earlier estimate and is not combined with the newer figure.
| Measure | Figure used | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Gaming area | 225,000 sq ft, about 20,900 sqm | Latest figure in Wynn's annual filing |
| Older figure still repeated online | About 18,500 sqm | An older estimate, not the current lead figure |
| Development site | More than 60 hectares | The full integrated resort, not just the gaming floor |
| Hotel tower | 70 floors | Current guest-facing description |
| Structure in the February update | 299 metres through the level 71 roof | A dated construction measurement, not final height |
| Planned height with spire | 352 metres above sea level | Final architectural target on the resort website |
A floor measurement does not 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 published none of those details by 10 August 2026, so a precise inventory requires a newer operator source.
Wynn's February construction update said the structure of all 1,530 accommodation units was complete, while interior fit-out continued. The categories below include the apartments, townhomes and estates within that total, avoiding a second count.
| Category | Number | Published description |
|---|---|---|
| Resort rooms | 1,217 | Rooms and suites in the main Resort Tower |
| Enclave suites | 297 | A hotel within a hotel on the upper floors |
| Royal Apartments | 2 | Two apartments at the top of the tower |
| Garden Townhomes | 4 | Standalone garden accommodation in the resort plan |
| Marina Estates | 10 | Residences 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 a separate entrance, arrival area and lifts. It focuses on suites and a distinct service setting, although Wynn has not announced rates, packages or a reservation opening date.
Older Wynn releases used the figure 1,542, which competitors still repeat. The February 2026 construction release and current resort material provide a full category breakdown totaling 1,530, the figure used in this guide.
The resort website lists plans for 22 restaurants, bars and lounges, as well as a daytime beach club serving hotel guests and other visitors. Named projects include Alain Ducasse's French-American steakhouse and a second Delilah supper club, but restaurant reservations were still closed at this update.
Wynn announced an original Punchdrunk production for the resort on 29 June 2026. After bookings begin, the intended choice is a seated performance upstairs or a roaming immersive experience downstairs and backstage; dates and prices are not yet available.
The plans show a naturally lit shopping parterre for luxury brands, but no complete tenant list has been released by Wynn. Art is planned for 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.
Plans include 420 metres of private white-sand beach and a deep-water marina intended for large yachts. A daytime beach club is also part of the plan, although day-pass availability and access for non-guests have not been explained.
Wynn lists 12 pools with cabanas and landscaped surroundings, plus a five-star spa, salon and fitness centre. Treatment prices, operating hours and pool-entry conditions remain unpublished, so they cannot yet be included in a dependable visit budget.
The official amenities list places a kids' club beside outdoor recreation, indicating that families are also intended to use the non-gaming areas. Wynn has not released accepted ages, fees or supervision arrangements, so childcare planning should wait for the guest policy.
Coral Court is planned as the resort's centre for events and celebrations, covering 7,708 sqm. Its design includes six meeting rooms that can be reconfigured, separate salons for brides and grooms, and private prayer rooms for men and women.
The column-free Grand Ballroom measures 2,633 sqm and faces the marina. Organisers can use that figure when comparing venues, but it does not 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 bookings open, request a written capacity plan and a quote that covers production, catering, cancellation and accessibility rather than deriving attendance from floor area.
Wynn Al Marjan is on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, not Dubai. Wynn's website gives about 15 minutes by car from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport, while its 2025 financing release estimated roughly 50 minutes from Dubai International Airport.
| Starting point or route | Official information | Planning decision |
|---|---|---|
| Ras Al Khaimah International Airport | About 15 minutes by car on the resort website | Check the journey time on arrival day since traffic changes |
| Dubai International Airport | About 50 minutes in Wynn's 2025 release, with the resort less than 50 miles away | Add baggage and traffic time rather than treating the estimate as a promise |
| Wynn Bridge | Planned link through Wynn Boulevard to E311 and E611 | Late 2026 was the completion target, so confirm the route is open |
| Resort shuttle | No operating timetable or fare published | Don't plan around a service the operator hasn't announced |
| Parking and valet | Final operating details not published | Check arrival instructions when reservations open |
The 548-metre bridge is intended to give the resort a more direct connection to the wider road system, but the latest detailed release still treated it as work in progress. Wait for a Wynn completion announcement or confirmation from a current mapping service before assuming it is open.
Once reservations open, check the final drop-off location because the hotel, events centre and marina may have separate entrances. Leave spare time for delays and do not pay for a transfer unless it appears in a written reservation confirmation.
Under land-based gaming facilities, the GCGRA licensee register names Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan. On 4 October 2024, Wynn announced that this project entity had received the UAE's first commercial gaming facility operator licence.
The register shows that the named entity is licensed by GCGRA for this particular land-based facility. It lists The Game LLC separately as operator of the UAE Lottery, reflecting different licence categories for land-based facilities and lottery products. When it opens, Wynn Al Marjan is positioned to become the Gulf Cooperation Council's first licensed casino; wider context appears in our UAE gambling laws page.
Wynn still has to publish the gaming floor's final arrangements for age, identity, admission, responsible gaming and complaints before players can be welcomed. Until those terms are issued, rules from other Wynn properties should not be applied here.
Resort operations can change during the months before opening, which makes the unknowns as useful to record as the confirmed figures. The table distinguishes an email sign-up, design image or third-party offer from a real booking or operating commitment.
| Detail | Status on 10 August 2026 | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel bookings and room rates | Reservation date and prices not announced | Join official updates and wait for Wynn's booking system |
| Restaurant reservations | Not open on Wynn's dining page | Don't pay an unverified intermediary for a table |
| Casino game list | Table, machine and title counts not published | Wait for the operator's gaming information |
| Betting limits | Minimum and maximum stakes not published | Don't borrow limits from Wynn Las Vegas |
| Age, ID and admission charges | Final Wynn conditions not published | Check Wynn and GCGRA before travelling |
| Dress code and opening hours | Not published | Review the guest guide when it appears |
| Shuttle, parking and valet | No operating timetable or pricing published | Request confirmation with the hotel booking |
| Theatre tickets | Interest registration available, schedule and prices incomplete | Don't treat registration as a ticket |
Wynn's website gathers email addresses and interests so it can send news and early updates. The registration does not hold a room, restaurant table or theatre seat, and it fixes neither a price nor priority without a separate booking confirmation.
Begin with the resort website, compare the licence with the GCGRA register, then compare the opening date with Wynn's newest investor release. When an official channel omits a detail, record it as unannounced rather than borrowing a policy from another resort.
This page and its gaming material are for adults aged 18 and over. GCGRA advertising standards define anyone below 21 as underage for commercial gaming other than lottery. Wynn had not released the final identity and admission policy for its gaming floor by this update, so verify it before travelling and do not assume hotel access includes every resort area.
For a future one-day entertainment budget of 800 United Arab Emirates dirhams (AED), used only as an illustration and not as a Wynn price, allocate AED 500 to transport, food and contingency. Keep AED 300 as the firm gaming ceiling whatever the result.
Decide the spending cap and finish time before entering the gaming area, and leave spare cards or funds out of the plan. If either limit is reached, leave instead of moving contingency money into play or attempting to recover a loss.
Stop immediately if gaming brings hidden spending, borrowing, anxiety, or neglect of work and relationships. Our responsible gambling guide explains warning signs, a stopping plan and support options in greater detail.
The answers below use official information available on 10 August 2026. Revisit the opening date and entry terms when reservations begin because future operating details may change.
No. Construction is still under way, and Wynn said on 4 August 2026 that guests are expected to enter the resort in September 2027.
September 2027 is Wynn's latest official guidance. It was given in the second quarter results dated 4 August 2026, superseding the earlier first quarter and spring 2027 targets.
Wynn Al Marjan is being built on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, rather than Dubai. Wynn's website gives roughly 15 minutes by car from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport.
Wynn's newest annual filing gives the area as 225,000 sq ft, or about 20,900 sqm. Older project reports use an approximate 18,500 sqm figure, so this guide follows the newer company filing.
The announced accommodation total is 1,530 units: 1,217 Resort rooms, 297 Enclave suites, two Royal Apartments, four Garden Townhomes and 10 Marina Estates.
The General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority, GCGRA, granted the licence to Island 3 AMI FZ-LLC, trading as Wynn Al Marjan. Wynn announced the UAE's first commercial gaming facility operator licence on 4 October 2024.
By 10 August 2026, Wynn had not given a hotel reservation opening date, and its dining page still said restaurant bookings were closed. An email-list sign-up is not a booking and promises neither a rate nor priority.
As of 10 August 2026, Wynn had released no table-game list, slot total or betting limits. The operator's own gaming information and entry terms should be awaited instead of applying details from another Wynn resort.
Wynn estimates about 15 minutes by car from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport and previously put the Dubai International Airport drive at about 50 minutes. Traffic affects both estimates, while the February 2026 update still described Wynn Bridge as under construction.
GCGRA advertising standards classify anyone below 21 as underage for commercial gaming other than lottery. Wynn had not released final gaming-floor identification and admission rules by 10 August 2026, so check Wynn and GCGRA terms before travelling.
