Just 27 days after its opening on June 1, City of Dreams welcomed its one millionth guest on Saturday, June 27, 2009. Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (MPEL), a developer and owner of casino gaming and entertainment resort facilities focused on the Macau market, has announced that more than 37,000 visitors a day on average have experienced first-hand Macau's newest and much anticipated leisure and entertainment destination during the first 27 days.

Mr. Au Yiu Hung and Ms. Cheng Shuk Yin, the surprised one millionth guest couple, were greeted at the main entrance of City of Dreams by Mr. Greg Hawkins, President of City of Dreams. To mark this important milestone, Mr. and Mrs. Au received prizes worth HK$118,888, including a night's complimentary stay in the Rock Star Suite at Hard Rock Hotel, and a private shopping spree at The Boulevard.

"It is our great pleasure to welcome Mr. and Mrs. Au to City of Dreams as our one millionth guest," said Mr. Greg Hawkins. "It is a real achievement to have received our one millionth guest in just 27 days since our opening. We are delighted with the customer interest generated so far by City of Dreams. Visitors are clearly eager to experience for themselves the wide range of entertainment experiences we have to offer at this amazing urban destination resort."

The initial opening of City of Dreams will be followed by the opening of Grand Hyatt Macau later this year, offering approximately 800 additional guest rooms. The much-anticipated Dragone inspired theater show will open in its own purpose-built Theater of Dreams early next year. The third and final planned phase of development at City of Dreams will feature a luxury apartment hotel consisting of approximately 800 units. (E-06.30.09)
