When Wynn Al Marjan Island restaurants open their doors in spring 2027, Ras Al Khaimah will go from an emirate with a handful of hotel steakhouses and beachfront grills to a destination with 22 dining, bar, lounge, and nightlife venues under a single roof. That is a seismic shift. For context, the entire emirate currently has roughly 473 restaurants listed on TripAdvisor. One resort is about to add a culinary operation that rivals what most mid-sized cities build over a decade.
Wynn confirmed the first two headline venues in September 2025: a French-American steakhouse by Alain Ducasse (one of the most Michelin-starred chefs alive) and a Middle East debut of Delilah, the no-cameras supper club that became the reservation in Las Vegas within months of opening. But a tour of Wynn Las Vegas by Wynn Design & Development president Todd-Avery Lenahan revealed far more. Speaking to The National in late September 2025, Lenahan confirmed that the RAK property will feature Indo-Persian, Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Greek, and Japanese restaurants, a food hall, pool bars, a lobby bar, and an Aft Cocktail Deck overlooking the Sea of Dreams beachfront show.
That level of specificity gives us enough to build a detailed picture of what the full dining portfolio will look like, how it compares to Wynn Las Vegas, and what it means for visitors planning a trip to the UAE's first integrated casino resort. This guide compiles every confirmed detail, maps the broader Ras Al Khaimah dining landscape for context, and covers the practical planning details (pricing, dress codes, reservations, timing) that actually matter when you are booking a trip.
Delilah: The Supper Club Coming to the Middle East for the First Time
Delilah is not a restaurant that needs an introduction in Las Vegas. It needs a reservation. And getting one has been notoriously difficult since the venue opened inside Wynn Las Vegas in July 2021, created as a partnership between Wynn Resorts and The h.wood Group, the Los Angeles hospitality company behind 14 dining and nightlife venues including Bootsy Bellows, The Peppermint Club, and the original Delilah in West Hollywood.
The concept is built around a fictional character: "Delilah," a former Las Vegas showgirl turned proprietress, whose imagined life story shapes every design decision. Todd-Avery Lenahan, who designed both the Vegas and RAK locations, drew the interiors from the Cocoanut Grove in L.A., the Copa Room in old Vegas, and the Tropicana Club in Havana. The result in Las Vegas is a room of bronze palm trees, Hermes silk velvet textiles, Cubist-inspired fabrics, and champagne bubble chandeliers. Guests descend a double staircase into the main dining room, where live jazz and vocal performances build throughout the evening, transitioning the space from refined dinner to vibrant late-night atmosphere.
The RAK outpost will occupy approximately 2,060 square metres on Wynn Al Marjan Island's first floor. Wynn's press release describes the design as channeling 1950s supper clubs from El Morocco in New York to Maxim's in Paris and Les Caves Du Roy in Beirut. The layout includes a lounge with a fireplace for pre-dinner cocktails, a main dining room for tables of two through parties of ten, and a stage for nightly live music.
The menu carries over Las Vegas signatures (the wagyu beef Wellington carved tableside, the crispy chicken tenders that became a viral hit, the mimolette fondue macaroni gratinée) alongside new dishes showcasing regional ingredients. Hotelier Middle East confirmed the cocktail and wine program has been designed specifically for the RAK venue. If the Las Vegas pricing gives any indication, expect entrees in the AED 250 to 500+ range, with the full experience (cocktails, shared starters, mains, dessert) running closer to AED 800 to 1,200 per couple.
One detail worth knowing: Delilah Las Vegas enforces a strict no-phones, no-photos policy. The restaurant has lifted this rule only twice: once for the Las Vegas Grand Prix after-party and once for the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl celebration. Whether the RAK outpost maintains the same policy remains to be seen, but it signals the kind of experience Wynn is building: intimate, theatrical, and deliberately offline. For visitors also planning to visit the casino floor, Delilah sits at the intersection of dining and entertainment that Wynn executes better than almost anyone in the industry.

Alain Ducasse Steakhouse: 1,820 Square Metres of French-American Theatre
Alain Ducasse holds a distinction that no other chef on earth can claim: he was the first to simultaneously hold three Michelin stars at three different restaurants in three different cities. His global portfolio spans over 30 restaurants. So when Wynn secured him for a two-floor, 1,820 square metre steakhouse in Ras Al Khaimah, the announcement landed hard. Curly Tales called the space "a cathedral to beef." What's On described it as "old-school theatre, elevated with nouveau French flair."
The concept takes the American steakhouse, a format that Ducasse admittedly did not invent, and rebuilds it with the precision and technique that earned him those stars. His own words from the September 2025 announcement frame the ambition clearly: the goal is to "radically reinvent the steakhouse concept by boldly reinterpreting the American classics with a contemporary French flair."
Here is what that looks like on the plate, based on confirmed menu details from Wynn's official press release and coverage in The Pro Chef Middle East, Hotel & Catering, and Khaleej Times. Starters include Duck Foie Gras Brioche and Cheese Soufflé. The main course centers around the "Beef Club," a dedicated section of the menu where guests choose their cut, sauce, and side dishes. Tableside carving is standard for many items. And for dessert, a flambéed Baked Alaska presented at the table brings theatrical flair that Wynn describes as "playfulness key to this culinary experience."
Todd-Avery Lenahan is designing the two-floor interior. No renderings of the RAK steakhouse have been released as of March 2026, but Wynn's track record at Las Vegas (where restaurants like SW Steakhouse and Mizumi are recognized for their design as much as their food) suggests a space that pairs dramatic architecture with the kind of details you notice on a second visit. Given Ducasse's stature and the square footage involved, this will likely be among the largest and most ambitious standalone Ducasse restaurants anywhere in the world.

The Full 22: Every Confirmed Cuisine and Venue Type
Most coverage of Wynn Al Marjan Island's dining portfolio stops at Delilah and Ducasse, because those were the only venues named in the formal September 2025 press release. But a critical detail emerged from The National's reporting: during a tour at Wynn Las Vegas, Todd-Avery Lenahan confirmed specific cuisine types for the remaining venues. That reporting, combined with Wynn's official press materials and the company's construction updates, gives us a far more detailed map than most publications have assembled.
Venue / Cuisine | Status | Details and Evidence
Alain Ducasse Steakhouse | Confirmed | 1,820 sqm, two floors. French-American. Wynn Newsroom, Sep 2025.
Delilah Supper Club | Confirmed | 2,060 sqm, first floor. 1950s supper club. First Middle East location. Wynn Newsroom, Sep 2025.
Japanese Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Wynn LV operates Mizumi (sushi, teppanyaki, robata).
Italian Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Wynn LV operates Allegro and Sinatra.
Lebanese Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Regional relevance for RAK market.
Indian Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Major source market for RAK tourism.
Indo-Persian Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Unique concept for UAE dining market.
Greek Restaurant | Confirmed (cuisine) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025.
Food Hall | Confirmed (format) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025. Multi-vendor casual format.
Aft Cocktail Deck | Confirmed (named) | Overlooks Sea of Dreams beachfront show. Confirmed by The National, Sep 2025.
Beach Club | Confirmed | On 420m private beach. Wynn official site and multiple press releases.
Nightclub | Confirmed | "Only At Wynn" DJ lineup. Wynn Newsroom, Nov 2024.
Pool Bars | Confirmed (format) | Multiple bars across 3.6-hectare poolscape. Lenahan confirmed to The National.
Lobby Bar | Confirmed (format) | Lenahan confirmed to The National, Sep 2025.
Enclave Private Restaurant | Expected | Enclave (297 suites) has dedicated restaurant. Wynn Enclave press release, Jul 2025.
Additional Bars/Lounges | Expected | Remaining count (3-5) fills 22-venue total. Wynn LV operates 14 bars.
Lenahan's comment to The National captures the overall scope: "It's quite an incredible collection of restaurants, all of which will be taking advantage of beautiful views out to the ocean." That ocean-view positioning is a structural advantage that Wynn Las Vegas simply does not have. The Las Vegas property is landlocked in the Nevada desert. The RAK property is Wynn's first oceanfront resort, and that waterfront setting shapes every terrace restaurant, poolside bar, and beachfront venue.
The inclusion of Lebanese, Indian, and Indo-Persian cuisines is particularly significant. It signals that Wynn is not simply transplanting its Las Vegas restaurant lineup to RAK. They are building a portfolio that reflects the demographics of the Arabian Gulf market: a region where Indian and South Asian cuisine has enormous commercial demand, where Lebanese food is a cultural staple, and where Persian culinary traditions have a deep following. This is a resort designed to serve a 2.4 billion person catchment area within a four-hour flight radius, and the dining operation reflects that diversity.
Nightlife, Beach Club, and the Aft Cocktail Deck
Wynn's November 2024 construction update confirmed that the resort's nightclub will feature "the legendary Only At Wynn line-up of world-renowned DJs." In Las Vegas, that means XS Nightclub, which has consistently ranked among the highest-grossing nightlife venues in the United States, booking acts like The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, and David Guetta. The RAK nightclub's name has not been announced, but the programming model will carry the same booking power.
The beach club operates on 420 metres of private white sand along the Arabian Gulf, adjacent to 12 pools, private bungalows, cabanas, and 3.6 hectares of tropical poolscape. Expect a day-to-night format familiar to anyone who has experienced Encore Beach Club in Vegas: poolside food and cocktails by day, transitioning to a DJ-driven party atmosphere after sunset. The difference here is that this is a real beach, not a manufactured desert pool deck.
Then there is the Aft Cocktail Deck, a named venue confirmed by The National. It overlooks the Sea of Dreams, Wynn's animated beachfront multimedia show that functions as the UAE version of the Lake of Dreams at Wynn Las Vegas, but six times larger. In Vegas, the SW Steakhouse and Lakeside restaurant both use their views of the Lake of Dreams as part of the dining experience. The Aft Cocktail Deck fills a similar role: a venue designed as much for the visual spectacle as for the drinks.
For visitors planning a casino trip, the casino etiquette guide covers what to expect at the resort, including dress standards that apply across both gaming and dining areas.
What Ras Al Khaimah's Dining Scene Looks Like Before Wynn Arrives
Understanding the current RAK restaurant landscape puts the Wynn's impact into sharper focus. The emirate's dining scene has improved significantly in recent years, driven by new hotel openings and growing tourist numbers (1.35 million overnight visitors in 2025, per RAKTDA). But fine dining remains almost entirely hotel-based, and there is no standalone destination-dining concept in the emirate of the caliber Wynn is introducing.
Time Out Ras Al Khaimah's 2026 guide lists 25 recommended restaurants across the emirate. The standouts include Lexington Grill & Bar at the Waldorf Astoria (a New York-style steakhouse where diners choose their own knife from a selection by Emirati artisan Abdullah Al-Ahmed), Shore House at The Ritz-Carlton Al Hamra Beach (seafood, day-to-night beach-deck format), Umi at the Waldorf (Japanese teppanyaki and sushi), Levant & Nar at InterContinental Mina Al Arab (Turkish-Lebanese with 360-degree sea views), and Ula at Rixos on Al Marjan Island.
These are solid restaurants by any measure. But they serve a fundamentally different market than what Wynn is building. The current RAK dining scene caters to hotel guests, UAE residents on weekend breaks, and tourists who chose RAK specifically for its mountains, beaches, or affordability compared to Dubai. Wynn's 22-venue portfolio targets a different audience entirely: high-net-worth international travelers, casino visitors with significant disposable income, and the kind of food-driven tourists who currently fly to Dubai or Singapore specifically for dining.
For a broader picture of why RAK is attracting this level of investment, the Ras Al Khaimah vs Dubai comparison and the complete guide to things to do in RAK provide useful context.
Pricing: What Will Dining at Wynn Al Marjan Island Actually Cost?
Wynn has released no pricing for any RAK venue. But the Las Vegas operation provides a reliable baseline. Wynn Las Vegas fine dining (SW Steakhouse, Mizumi, Delilah, Wing Lei) typically runs $100 to $300+ per person before drinks. Casual dining (Allegro, Red 8, Terrace Pointe) sits at $40 to $80. The Buffet prices at $55 to $85. Cocktails average $18 to $30.
UAE pricing generally runs 10 to 20 percent above US equivalents for comparable luxury dining, driven by import costs and the 5% VAT. Applying that adjustment to Wynn's Las Vegas benchmarks:
Venue Type | Estimated Range (AED per person) | Context
Ducasse Steakhouse | 500 - 1,200+ | Two-floor fine dining, premium cuts, tableside service, comparable to Atlantis Royal or Nobu Dubai
Delilah Supper Club | 400 - 1,000+ | Live entertainment, wagyu Wellington, cocktail program. LV avg ~$150-250/person before drinks
Japanese Fine Dining | 400 - 900 | Expect omakase, teppanyaki, robata bar. Mizumi at Wynn LV is $100-200+/person
Italian / Lebanese / Greek | 200 - 500 | Mid-range to upscale. Depends on format and positioning
Food Hall / Casual | 80 - 200 | Multi-vendor format. Accessible entry point for non-casino guests
Beach Club (day) | 150 - 500+ (min spend model) | Entry plus F&B minimum typical for luxury beach clubs in UAE
Nightclub | Cover TBA + bottles 1,500 - 5,000+ | VIP table pricing follows Dubai premium nightlife model
Cocktail Bars / Lounges | 60 - 120 per cocktail | Premium spirits, signature programs across Aft Deck, lobby bar, pool bars
Alcohol pricing in RAK will be closely watched. Ras Al Khaimah's existing hotels serve alcohol freely (unlike Sharjah, which prohibits it), but Wynn's price tier will set new benchmarks. Visitors planning to combine dining with the casino should read the complete gambling legality guide for context on how gaming and hospitality regulations interact.
Wynn Las Vegas vs. Wynn Al Marjan Island: Dining Side by Side
| Wynn Las Vegas | Wynn Al Marjan Island
Total Dining Venues | 22 restaurants + 14 bars | 22 restaurants, bars, lounges + beach club
Headline Restaurants | Delilah, Wing Lei (Michelin), Mizumi, Sinatra, Casa Playa, SW Steakhouse | Delilah, Alain Ducasse Steakhouse + 20 TBA
Cuisine Diversity | American, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Pan-Asian, French | French-American, Japanese, Italian, Lebanese, Indian, Indo-Persian, Greek + more
Beach/Waterfront | No (landlocked desert) | 420m private beach, Arabian Gulf waterfront terraces
Entertainment Dining | Lake of Dreams viewable from SW/Lakeside | Sea of Dreams (6x larger) viewable from Aft Cocktail Deck
Nightclub | XS Nightclub (top-5 US gross) | Confirmed, "Only At Wynn" DJ roster
Hotel Rooms | 4,748 (two towers) | 1,530 (one tower)
Restaurant-to-Room Ratio | ~1 venue per 216 rooms | ~1 venue per 70 rooms
That restaurant-to-room ratio is worth pausing on. With one dining venue for every 70 rooms versus one per 216 in Las Vegas, the RAK property is building significantly more F&B density relative to its hotel capacity. Part of this reflects the resort's positioning as a destination in itself (it needs to generate revenue beyond room nights), and part reflects the expectation that Dubai visitors will make day trips specifically for the dining and casino experience. The transport guide from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah covers the 45 to 60 minute drive, and the upcoming E111 highway expansion that will cut that time further.
Planning Your Visit: Reservations, Dress Codes, and Timing
Reservations
Delilah at Wynn Las Vegas books out weeks in advance, especially for Friday and Saturday evenings. Tables for two are the hardest to get (Yelp reviewers note that parties of four find significantly more availability). The RAK outpost will face similar demand, particularly during the first six months after opening (spring/summer 2027) and during RAK's peak season (October through April). Book fine dining as soon as the reservation system opens. For the casual venues, the food hall, and the bars, walk-in availability should be more flexible.
Dress Codes
Wynn Las Vegas operates a tiered dress code: "resort casual" for cafes and casual restaurants (no tank tops, no swimwear), "upscale casual chic" for fine dining (collared shirts recommended, no athletic apparel, no flip-flops), and cocktail attire for Delilah specifically. The RAK property will follow a similar structure. The casino etiquette guide covers dress standards across the entire resort, including gaming and dining.
Getting There
Wynn Al Marjan Island sits approximately 45 to 60 minutes from Dubai International Airport via the E11 highway. RAK International Airport is 15 minutes away and is adding direct routes from Warsaw, Bucharest, Moscow, Tashkent, Prague, and multiple Saudi cities. The complete transport guide from Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah covers every route option, taxi pricing, and the Wynn Bridge (548 metres, connecting the resort to the E311/E611 highways, expected completion late 2026).
Best Time for Outdoor Dining
Several Wynn restaurants will have terraces overlooking the Gulf, and Lenahan confirmed that many venues "will be taking advantage of beautiful views out to the ocean." These terraces are most enjoyable from October through April, when temperatures range from 18 to 28 degrees Celsius. Summer dining (June through September, above 40 degrees) shifts indoors. The month-by-month RAK visitor guide breaks down seasonal weather, crowd levels, and event calendars in detail.
Where to Stay If Not at Wynn
Wynn room rates have not been published, but Las Vegas entry-level rooms start at $299/night (~AED 1,100). Visitors who want to dine at Wynn without staying there have several nearby options on Al Marjan Island, including the Rixos Bab Al Bahr, DoubleTree by Hilton, and Pullman. The 10 best hotels near Wynn guide covers everything from budget to luxury within a 15-minute drive of the resort.
