Wynn Resorts Ltd., Caesars Entertainment Inc. and MGM Resorts International have taken their brands to the Middle East. And Wynn will have something in the United Arab Emirates that its Las Vegas-based counterparts won’t — casino gambling.

The three properties are miles apart and in different emirates, which are similar to states. Caesars Palace Dubai, which is already open, is in Dubai, the most populous city in the UAE.

The site of MGM’s development, which will include an MGM Grand, a Bellagio-branded hotel and MGM Signature villas, is about 86 miles southwest of Dubai in the nation’s capital Abu Dhabi.

Wynn’s property is about 70 miles to the northeast of Dubai in the northernmost emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
