The $2 billion resort features replicas of iconic UK buildings such as the Palace of Westminster, 10 Downing Street, and the Shaftesbury Memorial Fountain.

The Londoner Macao is operated by Las Vegas Sands, which also owns other casino resorts in Macao, including The Venetian Macao, The Parisian Macao, Sands Macao, and The Plaza Macao & Four Seasons Hotel Macao.

The resort offers visitors a range of experiences beyond gambling, including an Alice in Wonderland-themed afternoon tea, a virtual "Changing of the Guard" performance, and a British-inspired spa experience.

The Londoner Macao is part of Macao's efforts to diversify its economy and boost international tourism.

The casino operators awarded the concessions have agreed to invest about $15 billion over the next 10 years.

Las Vegas Sands is a hotel and casino company that has developed non-gaming amenities such as shopping and spas to attract both gamers and non-gamers.

The company aims to build hotels that cater to both groups, with gamers visiting for the casino experience and non-gamers coming for other amenities.

This strategy has been successful in attracting customers and has contributed to the company's positive performance in the first half of the year.
