The glamour that heralded his last public appearance - a romantic dinner date with new girlfriend Mariah Carey - was a distant memory on Monday afternoon as James Packer stepped out in New York City.

The billionaire casino mogul sported a sober two-piece suit for an appearance in bustling Manhattan, where he looked fresh and focused after attending a business meeting.

His look was completed with a crisp white shirt and tie on what appeared to be a busy day for Packer, who has been enjoying a protracted stay in the American city.

Carrying a sheaf of paper in one hand, the 48-year-old was stern faced as he made his way back to his hotel.

Packer's latest outing came six days after his last sighting with Mariah - a dinner date at upmarket restaurant Nobu.

On the night Mariah, 45, appeared relaxed as she smiled for the cameras, donning a printed black and white jumpsuit with flared pants paired with a silk scarf that draped across her shoulders.

She accessorised her look with a pair of open-toe platform heels, a black patent bag, a pair of trendy shades and, on her ring finger, a diamond butterfly ring

The enamored duo made their first red carpet appearance as a couple earlier this week at the premier of the new Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro comedy, The Intern.

Packer gushed to News Corp about his new girlfriend's singing ability recently, saying: 'Mariah is just incredible, amazing she really is...She's a genius.

'Who else is there? There is Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. Not Madonna...Those three can sing five octaves...'

Elsewhere the Sydney born billionaire has just seen new film Black Mass, on which he worked as executive producer, gross $8.8 million during its opening day in US cinemas, win a collective $24 million from worldwide ticket sales and earn a string of positive reviews.

Mariah split from her estranged husband Nick Cannon in 2014 after six years of marriage, while twice-married James announced his split from his former wife Erica Packer in 2013.
