Genting moves forward with Las Vegas project
The casino company is reportedly moving forward with its project located in the Las Vegas Strip.
US.- Genting Group has finally moved forward with its latest casino project as it was reported that the company hired construction manager W.A. Richardson Builders, LLC (WARB), which is set to manage everything regarding the construction process.
The casino operator released a statement on Monday where it was detailed that the Clark County Building Department approved multiple applications to continue with the project. Edward Farrell, president of Resorts World Las Vegas, said: “Bill Richardson has tackled complex, multi-billion-dollar projects in Las Vegas on time and on budget. We are confident that he and his team have the know-how to ensure that Resorts World Las Vegas will be constructed to the highest standards with maximum flexibility for future growth.”
He also added that after the tragedy that took place in the city last month, they are proud to start a significant construction on their site as well as recommit with the local community. “We thank the Genting Group for the opportunity to assist them in building this next generation resort on the Las Vegas Strip,” said Bill Richardson, principal of WARB. “We are proud to bring our years of experience in building mega resorts on time and on budget to Las Vegas’s newest casino operator.”
The original opening date of the casino from the Asian operator was set for 2016, but it was later delayed, with a new opening date for sometime in 2020. The design of the project that will be located on the site of the former Stardust Resort and Casino will be based on Chinese culture and will feature 100,000-square-foot casino and over 3,000 fancy rooms. The Nevada Gaming Commission gave the operator the necessary approval to move forward with the project exactly one year ago.
