The long-awaited Mohegan INSPIRE Entertainment Resort in South Korea’s Incheon is scheduled to hold a soft opening on November 30th.

INSPIRE. That's exactly what the newly promoted President of Mohegan's ambitious multi-billion dollar resort in Incheon hopes to do. With a strong focus on VIP, despite China's crackdown, Chen Si says the group will be mainly reliant on non-gaming, hoping to leverage its experience in the US to create a "kimchi taco" experience.

INSPIRE Entertainment Resort will continue to focus on the VIP market, even as all Asian gaming operators aim to get a piece of Chinese outbound tourism. The property’s newly-promoted President Chen Si tells AGB that EBITDA returns are only expected within two years, but that synergy between Incheon operators will drive ongoing growth down the road. Meanwhile, hopes are to open soon, pending government approvals.

Seek to INSPIRE. That's what Mohegan is attempting to do with its new multi-billion-dollar project in Incheon. But expert Ben Lee points out that the road might be a bit more rocky than expected, with a drop off in Chinese VIP play and a remote location placing the operator at a disadvantage, coupled with its need to adapt its Western mentality to the region.

The latest newcomer to South Korea, Mohegan's INSPIRE Entertainment Resort aims to redefine how luxury entertainment is done. Chen Si, COO of the property, explains what differentiates it from the rest and how to capture the clientele amongst a competitive regional environment.
