MGM Osaka (MGM大阪) is an under-construction integrated resort developed by MGM Resorts International and Orix located on Yumeshima island in Osaka, Japan. Construction on the resort commenced on April 24, 2025.[1][2]

History

[edit]

In April 2014, Governor Ichirō Matsui of Osaka Prefecture announced that it would promote Yumeshima as a possible location for an integrated resort.[3]

Construction on the resort began on April 24, 2025 and is expected to open by 2030.[2][4][5] The resort is also expected to have a rail link built via an extension of the Nara Line which will connect it to the rest of Osaka.[6] The resort will be located on Yumeshima island, which is currently hosting Expo 2025.

Features

[edit]

MGM Osaka will feature 2,500 guest rooms across three hotels; MGM Osaka, MGM Villas, and MUSUBI Hotel. The resort will also feature 730,000 square feet of convention space and will feature the first casino in Japan.[7] A 3,500 seat theater, retail and dining options will also be part of the development.[8]
