A Las Vegas-based asset manager and a Japanese-based gaming titan are planning to build a multi-billion dollar casino in Manhattan, New York, that will also include crypto trading and a landing pad for flying vehicles.
The proposal for the casino will be submitted by Friday to the local gambling authority.
The companies want to create the largest crypto trading floor on the globe, an esports stadium and a facility for events such as Fleet Week, the US Open, and New York Fashion Week.
Back in December, Jason Ader, former Las Vegas Sands board member, stated:
“The goal is to have a differentiated, but comprehensive, approach to entertainment that goes beyond casino gaming with some pretty cool elements.”
The name chosen for the casino is Mirai which comes from the Japanese word for “future.” It is expected that the project will cost at least $3 billion to build.
The companies would like to erect the casino in Manhattan, but city officials are less keen on the idea, which means Long Island and other regions around are taken into consideration.
