MGM Resorts International confirms its debut in Dubai with a $1B+ beachfront resort featuring 1,000 rooms, Bellagio branding, and immersive Vegas-style attractions by 2027.
Strategic Hospitality Expansion in Dubai
Dubai’s real estate and tourism sectors are preparing for a high-impact boost as MGM Resorts International brings its globally recognized brands—MGM and Bellagio—to the UAE. The $1B+ beachfront development is being delivered in partnership with Wasl Hospitality and Leisure, a subsidiary of Wasl Asset Management Group, and is slated to open in 2027.
Prime Location with Unmatched Beachfront Appeal
- Located on Jumeirah Beach near Burj Al Arab, the resort will occupy the longest stretch of waterfront ever developed in Dubai.
- Proximity to Dubai’s central business districts and luxury retail zones increases its strategic value for both tourism and residential investment.

- The development will feature 1,000 hotel rooms, 10 luxury villas, a beach club, and multiple entertainment venues.
- Inspired by Las Vegas, the project includes a water show, live theatre, museums, culinary experiences, and adventure zones—designed to attract year-round footfall.
Economic and Real Estate Implications
- Expected to significantly raise surrounding land and property values, particularly in Jumeirah and Business Bay.
- The project aligns with Dubai’s Tourism Vision 2025 and enhances the emirate’s position as a global leisure capital.
- Potential for high ROI in adjacent residential and commercial developments, especially in short-term rental and hospitality-linked real estate.
Synergy with Infrastructure and Global Markets
- MGM’s entry into Dubai follows its successful models in Macau and China, leveraging cross-market brand awareness and luxury positioning.
- The project integrates seamlessly with Dubai’s advanced transport, AI-driven tourism platforms, and sustainability targets.
- Its beachfront location offers new opportunities for mixed-use development, real estate-backed retail, and experiential tourism ventures.
A New Anchor in Dubai’s High-Yield Real Estate Landscape
The MGM Tower project is a high-profile addition that redefines Dubai’s luxury hospitality landscape and opens up fresh investment potential across residential, retail, and entertainment-led real estate.
