(LAS VEGAS, NV): May 8, 2014 - The Genting Group today revealed plans for a multi-phased opening of the highly anticipated Resorts World Las Vegas that will create tens of thousands of jobs, generate hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue for Southern Nevada and feature 3,500 gaming positions, 3,000 rooms and dozens of food and beverage outlets.
“Our goal at Resorts World Las Vegas is to complement existing properties and bring a new and unique entertainment destination to the Las Vegas Strip,” said Genting Chairman KT Lim. “Our themed resort will cater to the high-end visitor as well as the budget-minded tourist. We will give first-time guests a new reason to visit Las Vegas and other tourists a great reason to return. Today represents a big step forward for our development, and we are excited to move forward with our plans.”
Genting presented the plans today at a hearing held by the Nevada Gaming Control Board.
Construction is expected to begin in the second half of 2014 and take between 24 to 36 months to complete. The construction portion of phase one is estimated to result in 30,000 person years of employment and $1.5 billion in direct wages.
The development – situated at 3000 South Las Vegas Boulevard at the site of the old Stardust – will initially consist of a more than 100,000 square-foot gaming floor, a hotel tower, a retail village and a showroom.
In phase one alone, the project is expected to create 11,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs.
Additional phase one amenities will include:
· More than 3,500 gaming positions (slots and table games combined)
· More than 3,000 keys
· 22 villas
· More than 15 retail venues
· More than 30 food and beverage outlets
· An aquarium
· A center bar featuring live entertainment
· An observation deck with views down the strip
In subsequent phases, Resorts World Las Vegas will add:
· Three new hotel towers
· A new, still-to-be determined, large-scale attraction
· Additional gaming space
· A smaller, more intimate theater that seats approximately 1,000 to 1,500 people
· An approximately 1 million square foot convention center
· A water park
· A movie theater
· A bowling alley
