Resorts World shares plans for Las Vegas Strip resort

Resorts World has updated its plans for the US$4.3 billion casino resort that will be located in the Las Vegas Strip and will open in 2021.

US.- Genting Group, the parent company of Resorts World Las Vegas, has upgraded its plans for the casino resort that will open in the Strip in 2021. Among the new plans, the company has expanded the budget for the facility.

The casino resort, which is being built on the site previously occupied by the Stardust, had a previously estimated price of US$4 billion. Genting also revealed that the cost has now increased to US$4.3 billion, and it’s on its way to becoming the most expensive resort ever developed in Las Vegas.

While the original theme of Resorts World was going to be Asian or Chinese, the company has decided to appeal a broader audience and changed its plans to “Asian-inspired touches.”

The facility will also feature a 5,000 seat, state-of-the-art theatre to host A-list performance residencies and corporate events. It will also have a 75,000-square-foot nightclub and day club to attract a younger demographic.

Moreover, the opening date of the casino has been pushed to the summer of 2021. The previous date was the end of 2020 as an early forecast. The facility will have two towers with a combined 3,500 rooms and suites, around 100 more than initially expected.

Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World, said: “Our team has been working diligently to perfect the vision for Resorts World Las Vegas, and we are excited to begin sharing that concept with Las Vegas and the greater hospitality communities. We believe Resorts World’s unique design and commitment to providing cutting-edge amenities and captivating experiences is the foundation to curating a thoughtful resort experience that aims to redefine the luxury hotel standard in Las Vegas.”
