Bellagio Dubai

Bellagio Dubai is one of three MGM Resorts towers, alongside Aria Dubai and MGM Grand Dubai, under construction on The Island by Wasl, a $2.5 billion waterfront megaproject off Umm Suqeim near Burj Al Arab. MGM Resorts confirmed in 2026 that construction remains on schedule for a Q3 2028 opening, with the three towers sharing roughly 1,400 rooms.

The place

The Island by Wasl, a man-made waterfront development off the coast of Umm Suqeim, close to Burj Al Arab.

The concept

First announced in 2017, the Dubai project brings three MGM Resorts brands (Bellagio, Aria and MGM Grand) to a single $2.5 billion beachfront development built by Wasl Asset Management Group, with main construction carried out by China State Construction Engineering Corporation. MGM Resorts CEO Bill Hornbuckle confirmed in 2026 that construction remains on schedule for a Q3 2028 opening, after the project's timeline shifted from an earlier target. The three towers will share roughly 1,400 hotel rooms in total; individual per-tower room counts have not yet been published.

Dining & wellness

Specific dining and amenity details have not yet been published for the Dubai property; MGM Resorts' Las Vegas Bellagio is known for its fountain show, botanical conservatory and fine-dining program, though none of this is confirmed as replicated in Dubai.
