Macau Legend Development is aiming to invest US$300m to US$500m across “several projects” in the south-east Asian country of Laos.

The firm already runs a casino venue there called Savan Resorts, a property formerly known as Savan Vegas and located in Savannakhet, near Laos’ border with Thailand, a country where casinos are illegal.

“This range of US$300m to US$500m is a target for our potential investment in Laos over several projects and over a number of years,” a company said.

“Our initial focus is to expand the current integrated resort in Savannakhet, Savan Resorts, as well as the local airport in Savannakhet. We are in active discussions with the Laos government.”
