Surveys have shown that more evening entertainment options are desired by our visitors. We\u2019re offering world-class entertainment, Saipan\u2019s largest highdefinition video wall where we will soon be introducing live sporting events, and professional musicians playing the latest Top 40 hits, classics, and jazz music. The ambiance is also unique to Saipan with its ambient lighting, uniquely covered wall treatments, and contemporary furniture. We have some great entertainment promotions starting soon, and extend an invitation to our guests to come over.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CLUB C was created to ensure that gaming operations adhere to strict quality standards, thus the owners engaged an international management team from Macau, IGamiX Management &#038; Consulting Ltd., headed by Ben Lee, to operate the Club to international standards and to provide a first-class tourism facility. \u201cThe e-gaming law\u2019s main purpose is to increase the local government\u2019s tax revenue from its major industry, which is tourism, and further fund capital improvement projects and expenditures, generate more jobs and eventually elevate the reputation of Saipan as a competitive and attractive tourist destination. We\u2019ve invested $4 million, or $500 per square foot into this facility; we\u2019ve provided 50 new jobs to locals including retirees; and we\u2019re getting ready to remit our first wave of gaming taxes to the government. Saipan has the second highest gaming tax rate in all of Asia after Macau\u2019s 39.5 percent rate. We knew that Saipan\u2019s gaming tax was high as compared to other Asian nations but we pushed forward with confidence in the CNMI,\u201d said Lee.<\/p>\n<p>CLUB C promises to be an exciting destination within a destination, and welcomes everyone to experience a new style of entertainment on Saipan. <em>(PR)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLUB C Saipan, a gaming and entertainment venue, located in the 4-star 200-plus-room Kanoa Resort&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":40840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[171,26,529,413],"class_list":["post-40839","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-life-and-style","tag-asia","tag-cnmi","tag-macau","tag-music"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40839","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40839"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40839\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40840"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40839"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40839"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
