The 11-hectare (ha) property encompasses a casino with 274 table games and 1,721 gaming machines, over 800 hotel rooms at Swissôtel Clark and Clark Marriott, and the eighth Avenue Lifestyle Mall, which houses outlets corresponding to Hard Rock Café, Tom N Toms, Lucky Dumpling, The Dine by Tony Jung, Las Flores, and Taboo bar.
