Galaxy Macau named Asia’s Best Integrated Resort at 2025 IAG Academy IR Awards

Galaxy Macau has defended its title as Best Integrated Resort in Asia at the IAG Academy IR Awards on Tuesday night.

The winners of the 23 award categories were announced at a lavish Gala Dinner held in the Manila Ballroom at Manila Marriott, Newport World Resorts, followed by a special Hall of Fame ceremony honoring individuals in the Asia-Pacific Integrated Resort industry who have made or are making important industry contributions.

This year also saw veteran gaming executive Dennis Andreaci named Industry Legend – joining last year’s inaugural inductee Ciarán Carruthers in an esteemed group of individuals to achieve Legend status. Carruthers was on stage to announce and present Andreaci with a trophy and certificate as recognition of his achievement.

Other significant winners included Aristocrat Gaming, whose Dragon Link title was named Best Slot Solution and Best IR or Supplier Solution, while Aristocrat was itself named Best Supplier.

Bloomberry Resorts Corp’s Solaire Resort Entertainment City was again named Best Regional Asia-Pacific IR and Best IR Gaming Floor, while other multiple award winners included Marina Bay Sands, Galaxy, Angel, Melco Resorts & Entertainment and MGM China.

There were also three Industry Icons named on the night: NUSTAR’s Trevor Hammond, Galaxy’s Richard Longhurst and Paltronics’ Kylie Rogers – the latter receiving a huge roar of approval as her name was read out.
