MGM Cotai to only have 12 pct of floor space for gaming

MGM China Holdings Ltd chief executive officer Grant Bowie says the gaming operator has already handed all the necessary paperwork to the government for the approval process of its land request in Cotai. “It is totally and absolutely in the hands of the Macau government,” Mr Bowie told Macau Business in an interview published in this month’s issue. “From our current drawings, gaming represents less than 12 percent of the floor space of the property,” Mr Bowie said. The Cotai property will have 1,800 rooms but capacity to include additional towers and 500 gaming tables, pending government approval, he added.
