Soar
through Gotham City with Batman, take a ride on Asia’s
tallest Ferris wheel, or go go-karting Wonder Woman
style—all under one luxurious resort roof.
Melco
Crown Entertainment just unleashed more details behind
their newest $3.2 billion Hollywood-inspired, gaming
and entertainment complex in Macau, China.
The
fifth
resort from Melco Crown will feature activities
for adults and children—including a 30,000 square
foot “play center” with plenty of Warner
Bros. and DC Comics character action.
Goldeneye,
set to become Asia’s tallest Ferris wheel at
over 425 feet, is the premiere Studio City attraction--
built between the resort hotel’s two towers like
spinning eyes. The adjacent“Celebrity Tower”
and “Star Tower” will feature 1,600 guest
rooms.
For
adults, Pacha, the international nightclub franchise
headquartered in Ibiza, Spain, will have a new outpost
at Studio City. According to a press release, there
will be over 30 eateries throughout the property including
a “diverse range of world-class restaurants,
cafes and a number of relaxed bars and lounges.”
The
nearby Boulevard at Studio City shopping complex will
house 300,000-sq ft of retail space for shopping enthusiasts.
Melco
Crown, known for their over-the-top resorts, has also
enlisted Hollywood A-listers Leonardo DiCaprio and
Robert Deniro to star in a commercial promoting their
newest properties. Each actor was reportedly paid
$13 million for appearing in the promo.
Macau,
which is just an hour ferry ride from Hong Kong, is
known for its luxurious casinos and bustling hospitality
industry. But Studio City, scheduled to open in mid
2015, aims to draw crowds of all ages to this former
Portuguese island.
