Caesars Entertainment Corp. said Wednesday it will open its non-gaming beach-front luxury resorts on Dubai’s Meraas’ Bluewaters Island in November.

Cove Beach, a beach club, will open Nov. 9. Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai and the accompanying Residences at Caesars Palace Bluewaters Dubai will open Nov. 15.

Caesars Resort Bluewaters Dubai, a 301-room non-gaming hotel, will open in December.

Among the amenities, Caesars Palace Bluewaters will include a branch of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey’s Hell’s Kitchen restaurant while Caesars Resort Bluewaters will house a Bacchanal Buffet, like the restaurant at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.

“These resorts mark the opening of our first non-gaming resorts and demonstrates the strong demand among developers and guests to see our flagship brands brought into new global markets,” Caesars CEO Mark Frissora said in a statement.

Caesars has embarked on an international growth strategy. Caesars announced plans to break ground on Caesars Palace Puerto Los Cabos in early 2019, a non-gaming beachfront resort in Mexico.

The company is also developing an integrated resort-casino in Incheon, South Korea. Caesars is also one of several casino operators seeking an integrated resort license in Japan.
