The 2026 Newport World Experience

In 2026, Newport World Resorts remains the most accessible gaming hub for international travellers, reachable via the “Runway Manila” skybridge from the airport. The poker room is located on the ground floor of the Garden Wing (formerly the main casino), featuring amenities such as tableside food service, auto-shufflers, and a dedicated player waitlist app.
