More than 18 months after the launch of non-gaming operations, Crown Resorts will open the casino at its AU$2.2 billion (US$1.6 billion) Crown Sydney development today.
The VIP-only casino will set over two high-end VIP gaming rooms – the Crystal Room and Mahogany Room – with 12 additional exclusive private Sky Salons located on levels 28 and 29. The facilities feature approximately 160 gaming tables and 70 electronic table games, as well as premium dining options and outdoor terrace areas for members.
However, only the Crystal Room will welcome guests today with Mahogany Room to open at a later date.
The long-waited launch of Crown Sydney’s casino comes some time after non-gaming operations commenced in December 2020, with Crown Resorts having been found unsuitable to hold a NSW casino license following the Bergin inquiry.
The company since undergone a substantial corporate makeover, prompting the NSW Liquor and Gambling Authority to recently issue Crown with a conditional license which it said would give the regulator additional time to monitor the final phase of Crown’s restricted gaming licence suitability assessment.
Crown Sydney CEO Simon McGrath said the property’s casino “sets a new standard in luxury and elegance – from the design of the room to the overall member experience. The salon floors are flooded with natural light to highlight our unparalleled waterfront views, while the finishes and furnishings are of the highest quality and standard.”
