Melco Resorts & Entertainment’s chairman and chief executive, Lawrence Ho Yau-lung, said he sees “a lot of potential” in Japan where casinos were legalized last year.

“Japan is an amazing place but it just got 20 million visitors a year. Look at Macau, it got well over 30 million visitors. Hong Kong got more than 40 million visitors. There is a lot of potential in the market,” Ho said in an interview quoted by The South China Morning Post.

"We had many opportunities go into Las Vegas. But every time, we shied away from that (because) the greatest development opportunities for years to come will be in Asia. We have a strong Asian focus, and we are a brand that is well known in China,” Ho said.
