The Hong Kong-listed casino operator, controlled by the family of tycoon Lui Che Woo, said it expects its US$ 1.9 billion Galaxy Macau to be the only new resort to open in the Chinese gambling territory until "at least the end of 2011" and that it will feature 2,200 hotel rooms and over 50 food and beverage outlets.
The company will apply to the government to host more gaming tables beyond its initial 450 "if and when necessary," said Galaxy Deputy Chairman Francis Lui, son of Lui Che Woo.
