Resorts World Las Vegas ‘rapidly moving forward’

Updated March 12, 2021 - 5:20 pm

Construction on Resorts World Las Vegas is moving ahead full steam, and the resort is expected to open this summer as a mostly nonsmoking property.

President Scott Sibella told the Review-Journal that the $4.3 billion project on the northern end of the Strip is about 90 percent complete and construction is “rapidly moving forward.”

Sibella also confirmed that all areas aside from the casino will be nonsmoking.

The property will feature 3,500 rooms, nightlife venues, a 5½-acre pool complex and more.

This month, Resorts World revealed its first food and beverage partner, Southern California’s Wally’s Wine & Spirits. Wally’s, located in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica, will open in Resorts World Las Vegas this summer.

The new outpost will combine a restaurant, wine bar and gourmet market into what Resorts World is calling “a one-stop tasting experience.” Expected to encompass approximately 13,000 square feet, it will seat 200 to 250 people.

Last month, Resorts World announced another popular Southern California business is coming to the Las Vegas property. Experiential retailer Fred Segal will open two stores in Resorts World’s 70,000-square-foot retail district.

This story has been modified to show the updated room count for Resorts World.
