Studio City is going to be a complex with movie themes and will cost around US$3.2 billion.

There will also be a TV broadcasting studio with a 300 seat live audience which will be home for game shows and reality TV productions, along with a nightclub and a family entertainment center spreading over 40,000 square feet.

The big draw to the center will be the Golden Reel and this will be set between the two central towers of the hotel in the resort, 130 meters off the ground. The design was movie inspired and has been based around two flaming asteroids that crashed their way through the building and left two holes in which the figure eight shaped wheel is made.
