The Londoner Macao – a revamped and rebranded Cotai casino property that had its first-phase launch on Monday, just ahead of Chinese New Year – is designed to bring new customers to the Macau gaming-resort market, rather than eat into the share of consumers that already come to the city, said Wilfred Wong Ying Wai (pictured), president of the venue’s promoter, Sands China Ltd. A “soft opening” – over the Christmas and calendar-new-year period – of the Londoner Macao, a British-themed resort, indicated it appealed to tourists that might not otherwise visit Macau, Mr Wong told reporters on the sidelines of the launch.
