Resorts World Las Vegas: Inside the most exciting luxury casino resort opening of the year

There are few things that get us quite as excited as a brand new luxury casino opening – that is, unless they happen to be a part of a whole new casino resort. And just recently, we had reason to get celebrating, as after months of anticipation, the all new Resorts World Las Vegas finally opened its doors for business.

As one of the world’s leading casino destinations, Sin City has long been seen as the go-to city for those looking for an extravagant break away, with hours spent spinning the roulette wheel or indulging in a game of poker or baccarat an essential part of the experience.

But this impressive new opening – which is the first new true Vegas-style mega resort to open in over a decade – is set to change the game entirely, and has already caught the attention of some of the world’s biggest high-rollers thanks to a sprawling 117,000 square feet of floor space comprising 30 poker tables, 117 additional table games and a massive 1,400 slot machines, as well as various high-limit areas for those who aren’t afraid to go big.

Offering an innovative, next-generation gaming experience it also offers cashless wagering at each of its slots and table games, which is a first for Vegas, and a high-tech app allows guests to continue playing their favourite games even after they have left the casino floor. It’s also the first in the city to incorporate ‘Smart Tables’ – which use RFID-embedded chips for every dollar denomination and allow for accurate tracking of each guest’s personal gambling activity.

There’s no doubt that this – along with its huge sportsbook, which offers state-wide mobile wagering across Nevada – has paved the way for Resorts World Las Vegas to forge a reputation as being one of the most forward-thinking casinos in the U.S.A – and at a time when more players than ever are accessing online casinos like ufabet via their smart devices in a bid to brush up their skills and stay connected to their favourite games from anywhere, it’s a savvy way in which to keep big-spending customers engaged from wherever they are.

Its casino offering is certainly impressive, but the highlights of this spectacular new destination don’t end at its innovative gaming experience alone. The resort itself, which comprises 3,500 rooms and suites in total, is now one of the ten biggest in Vegas, dwarfing recent renovations like the Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, which was previously known as the Hard Rock, and the Park MGM, which was transformed from old favourite, the Monte Carlo. As for new builds, the Circa, which features just 777 rooms and opened its doors last autumn, doesn’t even come close – so it’s easy to see why the new Resorts World establishment has turned quite so many heads, from tourists to local whales alike.

Set amongst some of the Strip’s most famous luxury casino resorts, which include the iconic Bellagio and Caesar’s Palace, Resorts World enjoys a prime location at the heart of the city’s gambling action. Comprising not just one, but numerous hotels, alongside a plethora of mouth-watering dining options, entertainment theatres, boutiques and shops, this behemoth new development has everything its guests could possibly need – or want – during a stay in Vegas, so it’s perhaps little surprise that its rooms are already booking up fast.

Highlights of the resort’s foodie scene include signature restaurants Viva by Ray Garcia – Esquire magazine’s ‘Chef of the Year’ – which presents a fresh and exciting take on Latin cooking, and FUHU – billed as a high-energy, experiential dining venue that tempts its guests with an unexpected twist on contemporary Asian cuisine. Famous Foods Street Eats, meanwhile, comprises a carefully curated collection of pan-Asian eateries by award-winning chefs from across the U.S.A, making for a new-age style dining destination that has already won the resort much praise.

Those eager to take some time out to relax and unwind during their time in Vegas will no doubt delight in the Awana spa – the first of its kind, which offers personalised treatments inspired by both European and Eastern rituals, alongside immersive facilities and a broad wellness offering designed to meet and exceed every type of guest’s needs.

Developed by publicly traded Malaysian gaming conglomerate Genting Berhad, suffice it to say that this all-new mega casino resort is set to give others in Sin City a run for their money. So if you’re looking for a lavish, five-star stay in this vibrant and exciting city, then look no further.
