Las Vegas' Most Expensive Casino Development Is Full Of World-Class Amenities

From the 1930s to the '70s, Nevada was the only state where casinos and gambling were legal in the United States. These days, though, you can gamble closer to home in hundreds of places with state lotteries, horse race tracks, and commercial casinos. Legal sports betting has even impacted the U.S. economy because it's gotten so large. The American Gaming Association estimates commercial sports betting revenue in the United States was $13.78 billion in 2024.

With so many other gambling options available, is a trip to Las Vegas even worth the price these days? Many people think so, as Las Vegas remains one of the world's biggest tourist destinations. The city pivoted away from being a gambling mecca to providing entertainment that draws tourists. Gambling remains an important draw, but shows, restaurants, and other amenities also pull people to the city.

Some of the city's newest amenities are found at Resorts World Las Vegas. Construction on the 88-acre site began in 2015 but suffered from pandemic-related delays. By the time it opened in June 2021, it had a $4.3 billion build price. As the city's first casino resort built from the ground up in more than a decade, it has drawn a lot of attention from YouTube reviewers, traditional reviewers, and even Reddit users.

One of the key amenities at Resorts World Las Vegas is its digital concierge service, called RED, which takes advantage of technology like conversational artificial intelligence (AI). The RED service performs all the normal services of a human concierge, such as making reservations or answering your questions, but it's fully digital. Because of its use of conversational AI, you can speak to RED just like you'd speak to a person. Some people may consider concierge services as one of the sneaky ways casinos trick you into spending money, but RED's unique technology encourages many visitors to try it out.

The technological amenities and advantages continue when you go to your room. For iPhone users, the resort places your room key in your Apple Wallet, meaning you don't need the resort's app. You can even share a copy of the key with friends through Apple Wallet.

Other amenities include the resort's Awana Spa, which promotes a holistic experience for guests by combining technology and traditional spa experiences. The spa includes the Art of Aufguss experience, which features a theater-like performance including music, lighting, aromatherapy, and dancing towels, all choreographed during a 30-minute session. The spa also includes the Fountain of Youth, which consists of a circuit with vitality pools and cool mist showers, surrounded by relaxing scenery on LED screens.

Resorts World Las Vegas consists of three Hilton hotel brands — Hilton, Conrad, and Crockfords. Each brand has its own entrance on the complex, which has more than 3,500 rooms and a shared casino area covering 117,000 square feet. The complex includes 70,000 square feet of retail space for unique shops, and the amenities at the shared 5.5-acre pool complex include the only infinity-edge pool on The Strip and the largest pool deck in Las Vegas.

The entertainment zone at the resort also provides many desirable amenities. It includes the Resorts World Theater, which has a capacity of up to 5,000 people. It uses L-ISA sound technology to enhance visitors' audio experience by creating sonic depth and dynamic spatial audio options that entertainers can take advantage of. Artists who have played at the theater or are scheduled to in the future include Janet Jackson, Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, and Luke Bryan.

The Zouk Nightclub at the resort includes the latest technology in its sound and lighting system. The club covers more than 26,000 square feet and can accommodate more than 2,100 people, and features a floor-to-ceiling LED wall behind the DJ booth, creating amazing visual effects. One of the most desirable amenities is the VIP option. The club features private suites and VIP-only sections for those who want the highest level of luxury.
