(Las Vegas).- Las Vegas will go through another major historic transition Thursday when Resorts World Las Vegas — a $4.3 billion resort developed by the Malaysia-based Genting Berhad group — opens the doors to the first Strip megaresort in more than a decade.
The most technologically advanced resort ever built is expected to open to the public at 11 p.m. after a VIP party featuring poolside entertainment and a fireworks display.
Resorts World Las Vegas will feature keyless hotel room entry via a Bluetooth connection from a cellphone and a cashless casino floor with gamblers using digital wallets to stake themselves at slot machines and table games. It also has one of the largest video screens in the world at 100,000 square feet on the south-facing facade of the resort’s west tower.
K.T. Lim, chairman of the board of the Genting Group, and several corporate executives are in the city for Thursday’s celebration, which culminates a life-long dream of Lim’s father, the late Genting founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, to someday open a resort in Las Vegas.
K.T. Lim has shepherded Resorts World Las Vegas every step of the way, hiring former MGM Resorts International executive and UNLV graduate Scott Sibella as the resort’s president in 2019.
Lim used to make regular trips to Las Vegas as Resorts World rose skyward with its 3,506 Hilton-branded hotel rooms. And when the coronavirus pandemic hit, Lim kept in constant contact with regular online meetings with Sibella.
