Inside Asian Gaming

IAG JUL 2021年7月 亞博匯 27 封面故事 THE NIKI is an offshoot of NIKI Club, which previously ran NIKI Resort – a nature resort located in Nasu, Tochigi which closed its doors in 2017 after 31 years. Its partner Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group is linked to the construction and development company Chyau Fwu, which was established in 1950 in Taiwan. Their experience is mainly in the development and operation of MICE and commercial facilities as well as office buildings in major Asian cities including Beijing and Singapore. The partnership is yet to officially announce an operator partner. A complete unknown in the IR world, THE NIKI desperately needs a well-known operator partner to boost its IR chops with a name the industry will recognize. Oshidori International Development is a company formed specifically to bid for the Nagasaki project, supported by its parent company Oshidori International Holdings, a financial services company listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its greatest assets have been the hiring of key former MGM Resorts executives from Las Vegas with decades of IR experience, and its announced operator partner of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE), long time operator of the Mohegan Sun integrated resort in Connecticut. With around 300 tables, 5,000 slot machines and 1,500 hotel rooms, Mohegan Sun is unquestionably a bona fide integrated resort. MGE recently opened a new property, Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, and is also developing Inspire, a US$1.6 billion integrated resort in Korea. THE NIKI 是NIKI Club的分支。該公司曾經營位於 栃木縣那須的一間自然度假村。該度假村在經營31 年後於2017年關閉。其夥伴Chyau Fwu (Parkview) Group與建築及開發公司僑福有所關聯。僑福於 1950年在台灣創立，他們的經驗主要是在包括北京 及新加坡等亞洲主要城市開發及營運會展及商業 設施，還有辦公室大樓。這對拍檔並未正式宣佈會 夥拍那一個營運商。THE NIKI在綜合度假村世界中 毫無知名度，因此就迫切需要一個有名並且受業界 肯定的營運商拍檔，去增強該公司的綜合度假村牌 面。 Oshidori International Development 是一間專為競投 長崎企劃而成立的公司，得到其母公司、於香港上市的金 融服務企業威華達控股有限公司所支持。它的最大資產， 就是從拉斯維加斯聘請多名擁有數十年綜合度假村經驗 的美高梅國際酒店集團前高層，以及其宣佈作為營運夥伴 的Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment (MGE)。後者在康涅 狄格州經營著Mohegan Sun綜合度假村，當中有約300張 賭枱、5000部角子機，以及1500間酒店客房，是一間貨真價 實的綜合度假村。MGE最近在拉斯維加斯Virgin Hotels有 新物業開幕，並且正在開發位於韓國、價值16億美元的綜 合度假村Inspire。
