Resorts World Las Vegas plans extended

Resorts World Las Vegas will open its doors several months later than planned, but the project will be more than originally planned.

The Malaysia-based Genting Group has upgraded its plans, increased capacity, expanded its budget and aims to get into the music residency business when the resort opens in 2021.

The cost of the Strip megaresort, under construction on the site once occupied by the Stardust, has increased to $4.3bn, which promises to make it the most expensive resort property ever developed in Las Vegas.
