caption_attribution_description: English: Resorts World Construction during March 2020
context_page_description: Resorts World Las Vegas is a hotel and casino currently under construction on the Las Vegas Strip in Winchester, Nevada, United States, planned to open in summer 2021. The property had been the site of the Stardust Resort and Casino until 2007, when Boyd Gaming demolished the resort to develop its Echelon Place project. Boyd halted construction in 2008 due to economic conditions, and sold the property to Genting Group in March 2013, when Genting announced plans to redevelop the site as Resorts World Las Vegas.
  Groundbreaking was initially scheduled for 2014, with the first phase expected to open in 2016. However, the opening date was delayed several times due to redesigns of the project. Groundbreaking took place in May 2015, and construction began in late 2017. At a cost of $4.3 billion, Resorts World would be the most expensive resort property ever developed in Las Vegas.
context_section_description: In November 2019, Genting Group announced that the opening would be delayed until summer 2021, due to upgraded plans for the resort. The plans increased the project's cost from $4 billion to $4.3 billion, which would make it the most expensive resort property ever developed in Las Vegas. The increased budget included plans for a 5,000-seat theater, a 75,000 sq ft (7,000 m²) nightclub and day club for a younger demographic, and 100 additional hotel rooms for a total of 3,500. Additional convention space was also added to the design. Also announced was a 220,000 sq ft (20,000 m²) pool complex, including an 1,800 sq ft (170 m²) infinity pool. Sibella said the resort would have only a minimal Asian theme, to appeal to a broader demographic. A third of the acreage will be left vacant for possible expansion of the resort in the future.
  The resort is to include an LED video globe, measuring 50 feet in diameter. In addition, the west tower has a 100,000 sq ft (9,300 m²) LED screen, measuring 294 feet in height and 340 feet in width. It took seven months to construct. The east tower will feature a smaller LED screen measuring 19,000 sq ft (1,800 m²).
  By the end of 2019, Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood were being considered for concert residencies at the resort's theater. On February 20, 2020, it was announced that Resorts World had partnered with Hilton Hotels to bring Hilton branding to the facility. Portions of the property will be branded as Hilton, while other portions will be marketed under two of Hilton's other brands, LXR Hotels and Conrad Hotels. The project will include one of the largest Conrad hotels in the world, with approximately 1,500 rooms.
  As of June 2020, the project was 65-percent completed. That month, Resorts World sought county approval to have The Boring Company build an underground people mover tunnel, leading from the resort to the Las Vegas Convention Center. The Boring Company was already building an underground people mover system for the convention center, and the additional tunnel to Resorts World would be an extension, allowing people to quickly travel between the two locations via Tesla shuttles. The proposal was approved by the Clark County Commission two months later, with construction expected to begin by the end of 2020. Resorts World will be the first new resort to be completed on the Las Vegas Strip since the Cosmopolitan, which opened in 2010.
