January 23, 2007Hard Rock International and Melco Hotels and Resorts Limited (Macau), a subsidiary of Melco PBL Entertainment (Macau) Limited (”Melco PBL Entertainment”), have signed definitive agreements for the development of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Macau at the City of Dreams Casino and Entertainment Resort Complex, currently under construction in Macau, a special administrative region of China, on the Cotai Strip.
Melco PBL Entertainment, which is a NASDAQ-listed company, is developing the City of Dreams to be a “must-see” integrated casino and entertainment resort. The City of Dreams development is planned to feature an underwater- themed casino and four luxurious hotels, including Hard Rock Hotel, Grand Hyatt, Hyatt Regency and the Crown Towers, among other features. The development is planned to open in two phases, with the first phase (which is planned to include the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Macau), expected to be opened late 2008.

November 2, 2006An excellent article by one of Australia’s top journalists Glenda Korporaal from The Australian, who recently interviewed Pansy Ho. I think Pansy is spot on, Macau’s casino market will become saturated as 40-50 casinos will be just too many. The fact remains that 95% are Chinese gamblers and some 35,000 mainland Chinese visit on daily border trips.
So they will have to find other ways to attract the punters and get them to stay longer, so they will need to create interesting activities to keep them coming. Mind you they are already trying with ventures such as Hard Rock Hotel, Elvis Presly Shows, Playboy Club, Planet Hollywood, but what about some popular Chinese concepts. Let’s face Hong Kong’s Disneyland is not faring all that well!
