Melco Crown shifts gaming tables to CoD Macau’s fifth tower

Melco Crown Entertainment is on track to open its long-awaited fifth hotel tower at the City of Dreams casino resort in Macau—a $1 billion project that will offer gaming starting 2018, the casino operator announced on Tuesday.

MCE CEO Lawrence Ho said his company will be moving gaming tables from its other existing operations in Macau to one floor of the new hotel, which they named Morpheus.

The tower, designed by late architect Zaha Hadid and named after the God of Dreams, will also feature some 780 rooms, restaurants, an executive lounge, a sky pool and VIP gaming and villas at the top floors, the casino operator said in a press release.

“There’s one floor of Morpheus, and I think it’s going to be a few VIP [gaming] tables or a few premium mass tables,” Ho told Macau-based reporters.
