Vietnam’s Laguna Lăng Cô beach resort is committed to expanding the number of hotels at the site even as it awaits the outcome of efforts to acquire a casino licence from that country’s authorities.

The 300-hectare (741-acre), US$875m project will be carried out over four phases, the second of which is currently under development. The first phase, which carried a price tag of US$200m, became operational in 2013.
