Interesting that Marriott is now entering Marjan with all its brand power.

Until recently it looked like Marjan had an almost exclusive deal with Hilton.

It's the Westin.

W Al Marjan Island will open in 2027, the same year as the Wynn integrated resort. The Marriott-operated property is in agreement with Dalands Holding in collaboration with Marjan, the master-developer of the island.
The resort will boast 300 rooms and suites with uninterrupted sea views. Design plans for the property include spaces such as the Living Room, WET deck, W Lounge, AWAY Spa and FIT fitness centre. The property is also expected to offer three restaurants and retail space.

It's hard to tell without knowing where you are facing towards but it could be the base of a number of them as many have the similar shape to a certain height. My best guesst is Le Meridien though it doesn't yet have the distinctive curve at the top?

Several of Nevada’s largest publicly traded gaming companies are planning to invest billions of dollars into casino and resort developments throughout the U.S. and internationally. But Las Vegas, for now, is an afterthought.
Wells Fargo Financial gaming analyst Daniel Politzer told investors in a research note earlier this month that projects developed by the Las Vegas Sands, Wynn Resorts and MGM Resorts International could be the most lucrative of the proposals. But some might not make it past the planning stages.

He said Las Vegas Sands, which no longer has gaming properties in the U.S. after the sale of its Strip resorts for $6.25 billion 16 months ago, will spend more than $13 billion to expand and upgrade its Macau and Singapore resorts and is seeking to build a hotel-casino project on Long Island, New York. However, the company is one of nine bidders for three New York City gaming licenses.

UAE-based Luxe Developers has broken ground on Oceano, an upscale twin-tower waterfront development located on Al Marjan Island, Ras Al Khaimah, stretching over 18 storeys.

The project, valued at over AED1.5 billion ($408 million), boasts 206 units with a mix of one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom apartments, six penthouses, and two exclusive sky villas, in addition to private pools as well as indoor and outdoor entertaining areas.

Oceano will be located on a unique corner plot on Al Marjan Island and spread across a Built Up Area (BUA) of 79,000 sq m.

Residents will have access to a range of amenities often associated with five-star hotels, including a luxury spa, an infinity pool connecting the two towers, a state-of-the-art gym, a cigar lounge, a library, a yoga room, a children’s play area, and a chauffeur’s lounge, stated the developer.

When it comes to casinos, the house is always meant to win. But the cost of developing the first gambling resort in the United Arab Emirates is likely to push the local host government in Ras Al-Khaimah – one of the seven emirates that make up the country – into a fiscal deficit, according to Fitch Ratings.
Construction work began at the site earlier this year and the resort is due to open its doors to customers in early 2027. For a small economy like Ras Al-Khaimah, the project represents a giant gamble. The development is expected to cost a total of $3.9 billion, which is equivalent to almost a third (32%) of the emirate’s total gross domestic product (GDP) last year.
