MGM Resorts says it has applied for an Abu Dhabi casino licence
MGM Resorts chief executive Bill Hornbuckle said the company had applied for approval to pursue a casino project in Abu Dhabi. He said the federal and Abu Dhabi governments would decide on the application and expressed hope for further information on federal oversight later in the year. Wynn Resorts had also applied for a licence, the report said.
MGM’s application gives Abu Dhabi authorities another casino proposal to consider as they develop the framework.
