The Genting Group joined with Governor Brian Sandoval and Clark County Commissioners recently to break ground on the Chinese-themed Resorts World Las Vegas (RWLV), which will provide a variation of entertainment themes from the longest continuous civilization in the world.

"After 50 years of developing integrated resorts all around the globe, we are thrilled to be breaking ground on the Las Vegas Strip in the great state of Nevada," said KT Lim, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Genting Group. "Las Vegas is known for its world-renowned resorts, and the Genting Group looks forward to being a part of the city's continued growth by creating a huge national and international draw with this Chinese themed world-class resort."

Over the course of the construction and during operation, RWLV will bring tens of thousands of jobs to Southern Nevada; it is projected to open its doors in mid-2018 and will include: three hotels; multiple restaurants featuring a variety of authentic, regional Chinese cuisines; over 100,000 square feet of innovative gaming space; numerous retail offerings; and a top-tier nightlife venue. Additional details on amenities being offered at RWLV will be released throughout the construction process.
