China State Construction International Holdings has signed a us$ 1.35-billion deal to act as the main contractor for the project. Bowie said there was no need to again revise the resort’s us$ 2.6-billion budget. The budget was increased by us$ 100 million this year.
Bowie added he is confident the quality of the casino-resort, built on one of Cotai’s smallest building sites, will appeal to customers over a long period of time. MGM China was granted a 71,833-square-metre site in January.
