integrated resort to hold soft opening in Incheon Nov. 30
By Lee Hae-rin, The
Korea Times - Mohegan Inspire Entertainment Resort in Incheon will partly open
its doors ahead of its full launch, Thursday. According to the
resort, it will host a soft opening, which will include the opening of three
hotel towers with 1,275 rooms, a multipurpose performance venue with a capacity
of 15,000 seats, a 150-meter-long entertainment street “Aurora,” featuring
giant LED screens, a glass-domed indoor water park “Splash Bay,” MICE
facilities and restaurants. Equivalent to the
size of 64 football fields, the Incheon-based resort will become the largest
integrated entertainment resort in Northeast Asia once all four phases are
fully complete — although it remains unknown when the full business expansion
will be concluded. Following the soft
opening, the resort will open the “Inspire Mall” and a foreigner-exclusive
casino during the first quarter of next year. Other facilities,
including the outdoor entertainment facility “Discovery Park,” an international
food court and exhibition center, will open in the following quarter. “This is a momentous
occasion for Mohegan, marking both a historic partnership for our Tribe and a
new echelon for our system of premier integrated entertainment resorts around
the world,” said James Gessner Jr., chairman of the Mohegan Tribe and the Mohegan
Management Board. “We are delighted
that project Inspire, aimed at creating a leading entertainment-integrated
resort in Northeast Asia in Incheon, South Korea, has reached a major
milestone,” said Chen Si, president of Mohegan Inspire. "As we grow
with the community, we will establish ourselves as an ultimate entertainment
destination that attracts visitors from around the world, filled with
inspiration and innovation.” To celebrate the
soft opening and the year-end holiday season, the resort is offering special
packages on hotel accommodation and food and beverage. Bookings open on
Tuesday. Source: https://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/culture/2023/11/141_363941.html
