Mohegan’s Inspire Korea is set to be Northeast Asia’s largest integrated resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

South Korea.- Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority <\/strong>has announced that Mohegan’s Inspire Korea is on track to open its doors this September. It says construction of Phase I has reached 63 per cent completion<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resort in Yeongjong Island\u2019s Free Economic Zone will feature a three-tower luxury hotel with 1,256 rooms, a 15,000-seat arena to host concerts and sporting events and a foreigner-only casino with 700 slot machines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Korean media, Chen Si<\/strong>, COO of the property, said: “We\u2019re hoping to complete construction with our partner Hanwha by September and start opening the resort in the fourth quarter.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that the entire resort, including the casino, is expected to open in the first quarter of 2024 after obtaining a hotel rating and casino licence. In February, the company announced it was going to invest up to KRW 185bn (US$142m)<\/a> in additional funds to complete the development of the IR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspire Korea will become the second IR to open in the area after Paradise City. The latter project is a joint venture partnership between Korea\u2019s Paradise Co and Japanese gaming firm Sega Sammy Holdings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project will be a significant addition to South Korea\u2019s gaming sector. The country is already a major player, with 17 casinos nationwide, catering mostly to foreign tourists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
