Although the full list of the IR operators that participated is unknown, according to the Kanagawa Shinbun half of them did acknowledge their involvement—Caesars Entertainment, Melco Resorts & Entertainment, MGM Resorts, and Wynn Resorts.
At least two of these companies revealed that their plans centered on the Yamashita Pier location.
Twenty two companies, including 9 operators, registered to join the RFI briefing session last month, but some of these appear to have done so mainly to collect data on the process, not with a mind to actively participate.
Based on the information submitted by the 12 firms and its own research, the Yokohama municipal authorities intend to compile a comprehensive report by March 2019, and then use it to determine whether or not they will move forward with an IR bid.
