Various locations, including the three Palm Islands, are being considered for the development, MGM Mirage Hospitality chief executive officer Jamal Aziz told Gulf News.

"We are in deep discussions with Dubai World," he said.

The company is already working with Abu Dhabi's Mubadala on a $3 billion waterfront plan in a prominent location in the UAE capital.

Mubadala is expected to soon unveil the design and site of the project.

The initial phase will use 50 acres of land and consist of an MGM Grand hotel and two additional MGM-branded luxury hotels.

More than 1,200 luxury guest accommodations will be developed in the first phase.
