History[edit]

The US$2 billion project was built on Macau's Cotai Strip and opened in 2015.[4]

Taubman Centers[edit]

Taubman Centers was acquiring a 25 percent interest in The Mall at Studio City, the retail component of Macau Studio City, Taubman was to fund an initial cash payment of US$54 million. Taubman's total investment in the project (including the initial payment, allocation of construction debt and additional payments anticipated in years two and five after opening) was expected to be approximately US$200 million.[5] But in August 2009, Taubman announced that it had pulled out of the project, recovering its 25 percent, US$65 million interest in the project's huge shopping mall development, according to www.macaubusiness.com.'Under the established agreement, if the developers, Cyber One, were unable to secure financing within an 18 month period, Taubman would get its 25 percent share back. That's what happened, as the set period expired on August 11,' Morgan Parker, Taubman's Asia Pacific region president told www.macaubusiness.com.[6]

Melco Crown takeover[edit]

Gaming operator Melco Crown Entertainment gained control of the long-delayed Macau Studio City project by buying a 60 percent share in the Cotai resort developer. Melco announced the deal on 16 June 2011 morning and co-chairman Lawrence Ho Yau Lung said at a press conference it would invest US$1.7 billion (MOP 13.7 billion) in the development.

On 12 January 2015, the chairman of Melco announced that the Studio City resort would open around 'mid-year' 2015, adding 1,600 hotel rooms and an intended 400 gambling tables to the Cotai Strip. Inspired by Hollywood, the cinematic-themed resort were to comprise a 30,000-square-foot Family Entertainment Center in collaboration with Time Warner Inc. subsidiaries Warner Bros and DC Comics. Highlighted in the unveiling ceremony, the entertainment center would feature popular DC Comics characters, such as Superman, Wonder Woman and The Flash. Visitors were to be taken on a virtual reality Batman ride in the resort, as well as a 130-meter-tall Ferris wheel.[7]

Gaming facility dispute[edit]

Macau's Secretary for Transport and Public Works Lau Si Io confirmed on 6 July 2011 that there would be no gaming facility in the Macau Studio City project. The secretary reiterated that the developer of this Cotai property is required to adhere to the 2008 development plan approved by the government. The plan, he reaffirmed, includes a major component of a film production facility but should not contain any gaming elements.[8] But Melco Crown Entertainment was confident that the Macao Studio City will receive the necessary government approvals to include a gaming floor. The company's chief executive and co-chairman Lawrence Ho Yau Lung said he was confident of striking a deal with the SAR Government to build a casino on the site.[9]

Design and attractions[edit]

Studio City Macau features an Art Deco design inspired by two asteroids shooting through a Gotham City building.[10] The resort was designed by Goddard Group, a Los Angeles-based entertainment design firm also responsible for the design of Cotai's Galaxy Macau Resort.[11][12][13]

Las Vegas, Nevada based Architecture firm Friedmutter Group was the Exterior Podium and Porte Cochere Design Architect and Interior Architect and Interior Designer for the Casino including Mass Gaming, Signature Gaming and Signature Club, Celebrity Tower Grand Lobby, Matinee Lobby and Lounge, Star Tower Grand Lobby and Premier Bar, Hong Pao Tea Pavilion, Bi Ying Restaurant, Herbal Treasures Restaurant and Spice Road Pan Asian Dining Restaurant.

The resort's two hotel towers (The Star Tower and the Celebrity Tower) are connected by the Golden Reel, the world's first figure-8 ferris wheel. Boarding at the hotel's 23rd floor, the wheel features 17 cabins holding up to 10 passengers each. The design was developed by the Goddard Group, and the hardware was manufactured by Liechtenstein's Intamin Amusement Rides.[14][15] The 15-minute ride will take guests to a height of 130 meters.[16]

Another attraction is Batman Dark Flight, a flying theater attraction.[13][17]

Studio City is home to a food court called Cosmos Food Station, on which guest can look out upon space through giant portal windows.[18]

Royal Crown Revue (RCR) was a band formed in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. They are often credited with starting the swing revival movement.[1][2]

The band was founded by Mark Stern, Eddie Nichols and Mando Dorame out of their love of Rockabilly, Punk, Jazz, Blues, Soul and other styles of roots music. Two of Stern's siblings, Jamie and Adam rounded out the group (Mark, Adam and another brother Shawn were members of the punk band Youth Brigade).

After releasing their first album on BYO Records, the band signed with Warner Bros. and parted ways with the Stern brothers.[3] Currently, RCR's lineup consists of singer Eddie Nichols, tenor saxophonist Mando Dorame, and drummer Daniel Glass. The band played to capacity crowds in Australia, Europe and the U.S.

After filming The Mask, RCR began a residency at the landmark Los Angeles club, The Derby, which gained worldwide recognition[4] due mainly to the location's inclusion in the film Swingers. Although the band's music was an instrumental part of The Derby's swing scene, a conflict in their Warner Brothers contract prevented Royal Crown Revue from appearing in the movie.

The RCR Horn section backed Bette Midler on her top-grossing 2003–2004 Kiss My Brass tour. Trumpeter Scott Steen was Bette's featured soloist.

RCR made numerous film, television, radio and print appearances, including The Mask, Golden Gate, Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Viva Variety, The Today Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In 1998 the group appeared at the Playboy Jazz Festival, recorded and performed live with Bette Midler at the Billboard Music Awards and composed the original theme for the WB Network's 1999 television season.

Legal controversy[edit]

From 1996 through 1998, the Royal Crown Revue was engaged in a lawsuit with the Amazing Royal Crowns after much confusion with promoters. In accordance with a July 1998 settlement, the latter band changed its name to the Amazing Crowns; in exchange, the Revue agreed to drop the lawsuit.[5] The band was also sued by Royal Crown Cola, and won that suit. Oddly, RC Cola later offered to sell RCR's CD through a series of marketing promotions. Royal Crown Revue appeared as a question on the Jeopardy! game show with the reference answer being the RC Cola lawsuit.
