The upcoming Treasure Island Resort World Hotel and Shopping Centre in Nam Vam Lake near Praca Ferreira Amaral will not include a casino, following Chinese national policy hopes that Macau could diversify local tourism offerings away from gambling, Oliver Tong, general manager at JLL Macau told MNA after a signing ceremony held today (Monday).

Covering an area of 8,100 square meters with a total construction cost of about MOP4.7 billion (US$583.8 million) the Treasure Island Resort World Hotel will have a total of 600 rooms and a building height of over 70 metres.

In its last annual report before it was divested from the project Genting Hong Kong had expressed that it planned to develop a hotel and casino on the site

However, the JLL manager told MNA today that no gaming area will be open in the new project, adding that this is a new direction that many brands agree with.

“The national policies are not very supportive towards large-amount gambling,” Oliver said, “small-amount gambling is fine, however, the central government still hopes that Macau can develop a more diversified local tourism, promoting different aspects of Macau.”

According to the property’s developer, the hotel will have two different styles of guest rooms: one is fashioned in the US Treasure Island style, while the other is in the Singapore Resorts World style, while all rooms will enjoy either a scenic Macau and Taipa sea views or Nam Van Lake views.

Google Maps was updated at the end of last year but only part of the site was captured so there's a weird image now for the site, half built in 2021 and half not built from 2019. But it does give a good overview of the site locations and how much progress was made last year.

Another recent video at Nam Van Lake showing glimpses of the construction site. If you compare these screenshots with my last post, you'll notice the cranes moved positions which means construction is ongoing. I still can't find more recent articles on its specific opening date though or any updates at all.

A video taken at Nam Van Lake from 3 days ago shows the construction site in full view. Seems like the project is moving along fine.
