Resorts World Las Vegas is a Chinese-themed casino resort under construction on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada, planned to open in 2019. It is owned by the Genting Group.
History
In 2007, Boyd Gaming demolished the Stardust and the Westward Ho to develop Echelon Place, but construction was halted during the economic downturn of 2008. Boyd then sold the 87 acres (35 ha) site to the Genting Group for $350 million in 2013.
Resorts World was initially to begin construction in 2014 and open in 2016. The groundbreaking ceremony took place on May 5, 2015.[1][2] Notable planned features include a panda exhibit and an indoor waterpark. The completed 21,847,314-square-foot (2,029,681.9 m2) project will eventually include 4 towers totaling 6,583 rooms and could cost up to $7 billion.[3][4]
In February 2016, the resort's status was considered questionable, as little construction had occurred up to that point.[5] Genting stated in May 2016 that construction would ramp up later in the year, for a projected opening in 2019.[6]
Proposed facilities
The $7-billion project will include:
- 4 hotel towers with a total of 6,583 hotel rooms[7]
- 175,000-square-foot (16,300 m2) casino
- 4,000-seat theater
- Retail, dining and convention space
- Rooftop sky park and observation deck
- Aquarium
- Movie theater
- Ice skating rink
- Bowling alley
- Indoor water park
- Panda exhibit
- 21,847,314-square-foot (2,029,681.9 m2) total area at completion
