MACAU–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Melco Crown Entertainment Limited (Nasdaq: MPEL) (“Melco Crown
Entertainment” or the “Company”), developer, owner and operator of
casino gaming and entertainment casino resort facilities in Asia, and
DFS Group, the world’s leading luxury travel retailer, proudly unveiled

precinct represents a strategically designed, exclusive and eye-opening
lifestyle luxury shopping experience in the heart of Macau.


A LUXURIOUS RETAIL LANDMARK IN MACAU

Introducing a stunningly edgy department-store style concept to Macau,
City of Dreams and DFS have created a luxurious, contemporary and
inviting atmosphere within City of Dreams’ expanded retail area,
headlining the T Galleria by DFS brand. Delightful and
contemporary, the expansion is designed and built using elements of
glass, marble and steel combined with warm wood accents. The setting is
intended to be both dramatic and intimate, encouraging visitors to
relax, unwind and indulge their taste for shopping and leisure. The
expanded retail space links dining areas, casinos, retail stores,
entertainment attractions and hotels, leading visitors on an engaging
journey of some of the best retail and leisure experiences in Macau.

“City of Dreams has always been at the forefront of shaping Macau into a
world center of avant-garde entertainment, delivering world-class
leisure and entertainment offerings to the region. Today, we are pleased
to announce the expansion plan of the retail precinct of City of Dreams,
which will bring to our flagship property many firsts in town. Through
our partnership with DFS Group, City of Dreams features the largest
collection of luxury brands in Cotai and creates an exciting luxury
shopping scene for all aspirational, sophisticated and cosmopolitan
leisure seekers in the region,” said Lawrence Ho, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Melco Crown Entertainment Limited.

“Since entering the market in 2008, Macau has and continues to be an
incredibly important destination for our customers and for DFS, which is
why we are thrilled to unveil a retail concept here that is a first for
DFS in terms of its scale, audacity and innovation. It is also a first
for Macau in terms of providing a curated and modern product selection
across the major luxury categories, targeting new and experienced
travelers alike,” Philippe Schaus, DFS Group’s Chairman and
CEO
said. “T Galleria by DFS, City of Dreams will combine the
breadth of a luxury shopping mall with the personalized service of a
high-end department store. Only DFS could deliver this unparalleled
shopping adventure at the core of City of Dreams, complementing a
concentration of some of the best restaurants, world-renowned hotels and
world-class entertainment offerings with a fresh and luxurious shopping
experience in the heart of Macau.”

FIRST-EVER SHOE SALON HEADLINES MANY “FIRSTS”

Opening in phases between June and December, City of Dreams’ T
Galleria by DFS will boast the largest collection of luxury brands in
Cotai. In addition to beauty and fragrances, fashion and accessories,
and watches and jewelry brands, the expanded retail space will introduce T
Galleria’s signature customer services exclusively to City of Dreams’
customers, including the first-ever shoe salon to be opened in the third
quarter as well as a multi-brand lifestyle shopping area dedicated to
men’s fashion and grooming.

“City of Dreams is the ideal location for DFS to launch our first
dedicated shoe collection,” said Schaus. “Customers in Macau are
both discerning and adventurous, and our shoe salon will enable them to
indulge their taste for the latest fashion styles as well as find
something unique.”

Offering over 50 men’s and women’s shoe brands across two floors,
highlighted by exclusive-to-Macau brands such as Aquazzura and Rupert
Sanderson, the new shoe hall will be the largest shoe salon in Hong Kong
and Macau and a destination unto itself.

TRUE LUXURY WITH “DREAM” BRANDS AND A DREAM SHOPPING EXPERIENCE

The expanded beauty and fragrance section opens this month. When fully
expanded, the 23,000 square feet of space will comprise two wings and
feature nearly 70 beauty and fragrance brands, making it the largest
beauty hall in Southern China. Highlights include popular Korean brands
Sulwhasoo, Laneige and HERA.

For fashion-lovers, the experience is elevated with the June opening of
31 new fashion and accessories brands, including Louis Vuitton, Dior,
Prada, Miu Miu and Fendi. And catering to male customers for the first
time at any T Galleria by DFS store, there will be a dedicated
multi-branded, lifestyle area that mixes ready-to-wear, accessories,
shoes, watches and grooming all in one space.

By the end of this year, the phased opening will culminate in a
significantly wider jewelry offering, bringing key luxury jewelry brands
Tiffany & Co. and Van Cleef & Arpels to City of Dreams as well as new
watches boutiques from Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.

To ensure a uniquely disruptive and ultimately fulfilling experience for
all, exclusive dining outlets for high tea and social gatherings will
also be integrated into the environment.
