While the concessionaire has committed to investing US$2.2 billion over that 10-year period in both capex and opex, Wynn Resorts Chief Financial Officer Julie Cameron-Doe said the capex component would be utilized sooner rather than later: “as quickly as possible so that we can start to drive strong returns from it.” That will include spend of anywhere between US$50 million and US$220 million in 2023 alone. “The limiting factor is really the approval that we need locally to break ground and build anything, so it’s really not in our hands,” Cameron-Doe said. “That’s why we’ve given such a wide range because from our perspective, we’re pacing towards getting through our D&D and designing everything, but we have to go through government approvals for anything that’s construction related. So the range we gave was US$50 million to US$220 million.” 永利澳門有限公司 表示，計劃盡快兌現從現時 至2032年期間在澳門投資22億美元的資本支 出承諾，以推動強勁回報。 其母公司永利渡假村在2022財年第四季 度財報電話會議上，對永利澳門的投資計劃進 行了詳細討論。後者新的博彩經營批給於2023 年1月1日正式生效。 雖然永利渡假村承諾將在10年期間投資22 億美元用於資本支出和運營支出，但永利渡假 村首席財務官Julie Cameron-Doe表示，投資 部分將「盡快」得到利用，這樣可以盡快得到 回報。 其中包括2023年額度區間達5,000萬美元 到2.2億美元之間的投資。 Julie Cameron-Doe表示：「限制因素 是我們在當地動工及建造任何東西都需要獲得 批准，這不在我們掌控範圍之內，這就是為何 我們給出的範圍如此寬泛。我們正努力完成設 計，但必須通過政府批准才能開始建築，因此 區間是5000萬美元到2.2億美元。」
