G2E Asia 2017 kicked off in style on Tuesday as the Open-ing Ceremony officially launched this year’s exhibition.
Dignitaries from a number of leading Macau operators, including Sands China President and COO Dr Wilfred Wong, MGM China CEO Grant Bowie and Wynn Macau COO and Executive Director Linda Chen – as well as President and CEO of the American Gaming Association Geoff Freeman – were on hand for the ribbon cutting before being treated to a traditional lion dance as streamers were fired high into the air.
“This is an exciting time to be in Macau,” Mr Freeman said. “The numbers are up, the scaffolding is down and the energy is as high as I’ve ever seen it.”
