With a total investment of up to US$3.4 billion, MGM COTAI will officially open on January 29, 2018. The hotel features an innovative and stylish design. In addition to housing Asia’s first dynamic theatre — the MGM Theatre — and a collection of over 300 premium artworks, the property boasts as many as nine restaurants, offering Western fine dining, contemporary Californian-style cuisine, Japanese-Peruvian dishes, desserts, Cantonese food, Sichuan cuisine, hot pot, handmade pasta, and bars.

The MGM Theatre can accommodate up to 2,000 spectators and is equipped with a massive 900-square-meter 4K LED screen, which is equivalent in size to three tennis courts, making it the world’s first theatre to offer audiences a 28-million-pixel viewing experience. The theatre also offers more than ten different seating configurations to meet the diverse needs of various events, including concerts, fashion shows, movie premieres, product launches, and performances by internationally renowned DJs. The MGM Theatre will feature three resident shows, with the first two — “The Experience” and “Destiny” — premiering first.

As for Janice Wong MGM, headed by Janice Wong, who has been awarded Asia’s Best Pastry Chef and the World’s Best Pastry Chef, the dessert restaurant also features a giant 7.3-meter chocolate fountain — the largest in the world.
