MGM Resorts will invest up to $9bn in a Japanese casino in a major urban market, with Osaka being the perfect fit, CEO Jim Murren said.
Murren told the Sankei Shimbun that Osaka is a strong location due to its proximity to the Kansai International Airport, the Kobe Airport, a bullet train and a local railway network under development.
Three locations will be selected for a casino licence in the initial round.
