Malaysian casino giant, Genting Group, has rolled the dice on what is being described as the most expensive resort in Las Vegas.
Their latest venture, the US$4.3 billion (RM17.9 billion) extravaganza that is Resorts World Las Vegas made its official debut on 24 June 2021, making it the biggest property in the gambling capital of the world.
Based on a report by BBC, the resort, which was built on a lot of the former Stardust Resort and Casino, has partnered with Hilton Worldwide to accommodate three hotels within its premises.
Covering nearly 88 acres at the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, the mega-resort boasts an extensive list of amenities, including:
- 3,500 luxury hotel rooms and suites.
- a 5,000-seat theatre to host A-list residencies and corporate events.
- a 117,000 square foot casino that includes a 17,000-square-foot entertainment zone.
- a 27,000 square foot world-class spa.
- 250,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space.
- a 5.5-acre pool complex with seven unique pools including a 1,800-square foot infinity pool overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.
- 100,000 square feet of nightlife and daylife space which includes the local favourite, Zouk Nightclub.
- a large variety of dining and retail options.
…just to name a few.
They are hoping that the new development will help put Las Vegas back on the map following its fall to the Covid-19 pandemic after measures to slow the spread of the disease were implemented last year.
Having their hand in various industries that span operations across the globe, Genting Group’s latest venture may very well be one of their most extravagant projects yet.
With Japan’s Yokohama City in their sights for their next major project, we can’t wait to see what they have in store for the world next.
