Vietnam Casino City, Vietnam's first luxury gaming resort, featuring five themed casinos and a Greg Norman-designed golf course situated in Vung Tau province, has begun construction.

Site plans include an arts and entertainment district with several theaters and museums, a cultural center, and an ongoing parade of events. The total development cost of the project is projected to be US$4 billion.

Phase One of the project will include 1,200 hotel rooms, a 7,200-square meter Las Vegas-style table games casino, 10 restaurants, an 8-acre swimming pool, and a 200-acre golf course and country club. The development cost of Phase One of the project is US$500 million and is expected to be completed by late 2009.

Vietnam Casino City is projected to have a total gross floor area of approximately 1.5 million square meters. The project will occupy 3.5 kilometers of undeveloped white-sand beaches in Xuyen Moc, Vung Tau province, a two-hour drive east of Ho Chi Minh City.

The planned entertainment components of Vietnam Casino City represents some of the most comprehensive and extensive of any single property in Vietnam, including five world-class resort-casinos, a 200-acre golf course and country club, theaters, health clubs, retail shops, theaters, museums, and a cultural center.
