A brand new casino on the Las Vegas Strip opens in just over two months.
According to a report by Yahoo! Resorts World Las Vegas announced on Monday that it would open on Jan.
It is one of the largest casino projects in the history of the Strip. The resort will have 3,500 rooms in its three Hilton hotel towers, more than 40 restaurants and eateries, retail outlets, a 117,000 square foot casino, 250,000 square feet of meeting space, seven swimming pools and a theater with a capacity of 5,000 people. The property’s casino will have a poker room.
Construction of the $ 4.3 billion resort began in May 2015 on the north end of the Las Vegas Strip, across from Wynn and Encore Las Vegas. In late 2018, when one of the estate’s towers was taking shape, Wynn Resorts sued the Genting Group’s casino for copyright infringement, claiming the building’s architecture was too similar to its own Las Vegas casinos.
“The architectural design contained in the Defendant’s Resorts World Las Vegas Hotel and Casino is essentially similar to the plaintiff’s registered copyrighted architectural work, and therefore the defendant infringes plaintiff’s copyrights in addition to plaintiff’s registered and customary trade dress”, it says in the lawsuit.
The lawsuit was settled a month later when the Genting Group agreed to change several aspects of the building’s appearance.
Resorts World will open in the same location as the former Stardust Casino, a legendary Las Vegas casino that closed in 2006 and imploded in 2007. Boyd Gaming, owner of the Stardust, sold the land to the Malaysian gambling giant in 2013 for $ 350 million.
While there have been several re-brandings on the Las Vegas Strip, such as LINQ in 2014. Resorts World Las Vegas will be the first new basic casino in town since the Cosmopolitan opened in 2010.
The new casino opens shortly after Nevada’s governor. Steve Sisolak expects to see the casinos for the first time since COVID-19 pandemic has arrived in the United States
