Chinese tourists and loyal customers to Wynn Resorts Ltd. will be key to filling rooms at its new gaming resort in the United Arab Emirates, according to local officials.

Both segments are expected to be important drivers of business at the planned $3.9 billion, 1,500-room resort, which would be one of the largest hotels in the country on its planned opening in 2027 in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, about an hour north of Dubai.
