Universal bets big on Manila casino
Manila
KAZUO Okada, Universal Entertainment Corp chairman and former Steve Wynn partner, plans to challenge Macau in wooing Chinese gamblers to his Manila casino resort that could cost US$4 billion and is scheduled to open in November.
Mr Okada, 73, wants his casino (featuring a 100-metre dancing water fountain and indoor beach) "to compete with what is in Macau" and other parts of Asia, said Takahiro Usui, chief operating officer at Universal Entertainment's Tiger Resort Leisure and Entertainment Inc. "This project will promote Manila as a destination in the region and the world."
