Wynn Resorts has launched a large-scale recruitment campaign for Wynn Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah. The hiring effort spans all key departments, from pit managers and dealers to marketing executives and nightlife planners. Vice president roles targeting casino marketing across multiple continents highlight Wynn’s global ambitions. The resort employs 100 people as of Q2 2025, with plans to reach 330 by year-end.
Why This Hiring Blitz Matters Now
Wynn expects Wynn Al Marjan Island to generate up to $5bn in annual revenue, surpassing their Las Vegas flagship. VP-level hires focus on attracting high-net-worth players from the Middle East, North Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Starting recruitment early allows sufficient time to train staff and build VIP networks. Wynn has also purchased an additional 70 acres on Al Marjan Island, signaling expansion plans beyond a single resort.
What Roles Wynn’s Actually Filling
Job postings cover gaming floor operations, senior management, table operations managers, marketing, IT, and compliance roles. Marketing hires will focus on relationship-building with agents and regional influencers. IT positions indicate substantial technological infrastructure needs, while compliance responsibilities ensure adherence to regulatory standards. Recruitment extends beyond the UAE to Dubai, Riyadh, Doha, and Cairo.
How UAE’s New Gaming Rules Enable This
Gambling remains illegal in the UAE, but the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), established in 2023, now oversees licensing and compliance for regulated operations. Wynn’s postings explicitly reference following GCGRA rules, including reporting suspicious activity and handling disputes. The regulatory framework allows Wynn to develop the property confidently, with the 2027 opening dependent on construction and final approvals. The aggressive hiring pace suggests the project remains on track.
