If it is due to open in Q2 2023 then likely full construction will continue well into Q1 and then landscaping, interior etc will follow. I expect we will still be seeing signs of work on landscaping right up to opening.

When will construction finish?

“The City of Dreams Mediterranean project has experienced delays due to some difficulties that we have encountered with our contractors. At this point in time, we expect to open in early second quarter 2023, subject to regulatory approvals. However, this remains a fluid situation and we continue to look at ways to expedite the progress.”

So if the press releases are true, the casino at City of Dreams will have...

...over 100 tables and 1,000 state-of-the-art slot machines on its gaming floor, measuring 81,000 square feet.

Europoes current largest casino is Casino di Campione in Como, Italy which houses...

...9 floors holding over 500 slots and 56 traditional casino table games

and

600,000 square feet of casino.

So by those standards City of Dreams will be much bigger in terms of tables and slots but smaller footprint wise. There is, however, not a huge amount in official press about table numbers etc and the information on casino sites seems to be a few years out of date with no recent updates. I think we may have to wait and see if it takes the title. It doesn't seem to be trading on that as it's unique selling point at the moment.
