Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment Expects to Open New Athens Casino Resort by 2026

Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment expects that a luxury casino resort on the site of the former Athens airport will be ready by 2026, a top company executive said, giving a timeframe for the first time on development plans.
The consortium of Mohegan and Greek construction group GEK Terna last year won a Greek tender for the construction and 30-year operation of the casino resort on the site of the former Hellenikon airport on the Athens seafront.
The next steps in the process include signing the contract and clearing it with Greek auditors and parliament.
“Right now, we anticipate that upon conclusion of the contractual negotiation process, permitting and design will take approximately 12 to 18 months,” Ray Pineault, Mohegan’s interim CEO told the Delphi Economic Forum in Athens.
He said that the resort was expected to open in 2025 or 2026.
The casino resort will include a hotel, entertainment venues, convention centres and shopping and dining amenities.
“We anticipate the IRC (resort) will grow international tourism in the Attica region by at least 10%,” Pineault said. “It will be a facility that’s unforeseen anywhere else in all of Europe.”
