The Osaka prefectural and city governments are partnering with MGM Resorts and Japanese firm Orix to develop an integrated resort with a casino on the man-made Yumeshima Island in Osaka Bay. The development was originally slated to open before the end of 2029. <\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/beW4Bj7UE2g?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the project has now received the go-ahead, the Osaka local governments and their partners still have some issues to resolve before they can take the next steps, according to industry analysts.
