The first new resort built on The Strip in more than a decade is set to shine

History continued its gambling trail in Las Vegas last night, when casino multinational Genting Malaysia opened the first new resort built on The Strip in more than a decade. The Resorts World Las Vegas is on the very spot where once stood the iconic Stardust since its opening in 1958, at the time the largest hotel on The Strip.

At 11 p.m. last night, the newcomer Resorts World Las Vegas welcomed the public inside, representing a hope of better things to come to the gambling city after the pandemic, and the casino floor with state-of-the-art slots machines and table games were opened to all. Also, a dedicated poker room, high-limit areas and a sportsbook. Guests can earn points for benefits when they dine, shop and play with Genting Rewards — the resort’s loyalty program.

Resorts World Las Vegas offers three hotel collections from Hilton — each with its own entrance and lobby. Las Vegas Hilton features 1,774 full-service guest rooms and suites ranging from 400 to 3,300 square feet with “smart, elevated amenities in a comfortable and refined setting.” The Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World has 1,496 contemporary guest rooms and suites ranging from 550 to 2,800 square feet with upscale amenities and a curated art program. While, Crockfords Las Vegas, LXR Hotels & Resorts delights with 236 ultra-luxury guest rooms and suites ranging from 550 to 7,000 square feet with “lavish accommodations, upscale amenities and highly personalized service.”

Dining

There are over 40 food and beverage options at Resorts World Las Vegas, ranging from fine dining to quick-service venues and exclusive concepts you won’t find elsewhere on The Strip.

One of the concepts is a street food market that will put on display dishes made with recipes imported straight from Asia’s bustling culinary scene. Famous Foods Street Eats will offer guests a wide selection of authentic cuisines from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and beyond. Inspired by the hawker-style food centres of Singapore, this 24,000-square-foot hall will have dishes at 16 stalls from top chefs and restaurateurs.

Entertainment

The resort includes a 5,000-capacity concert and entertainment venue designed for concerts, conventions, corporate gatherings and sporting events. The resort has promised “the next wave of superstar entertainment partners” — including Celine Dion, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood.
