Resorts World Las Vegas hit two milestones las week—a huge sign and a huge entertainment partnership.
Workers recently installed the huge sign at the $4 billion property on the Strip, another step toward the venue’s opening in summer 2021. Earlier, the gigantic 100,000-square-foot LED screen featuring a fireworks show was installed over seven months; it’s one of the largest LED building displays in the U.S. with 3,552 individual panels. Resorts World officials said several other LED screens will be installed, offering a total of more than 200,000 square feet of content.
Operated by Malaysian casino and hospitality giant Genting Group, the property will feature a 117,000-square-foot casino with slot machines, table games, private salons, poker room and high limit areas, plus 3,500 hotel rooms and suites over three luxury brands. In addition, officials said the resort will offer an extensive food and beverage portfolio, from authentic street food to Michelin-starred restaurants as well as all-new concepts.
Resorts World also announced a 5,000-capacity concert and entertainment venue. The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas will be outfitted to host a myriad of affairs – from star-studded concerts to convention, corporate and sporting events.
The Theatre–a joint development between Resorts World Las Vegas and AEG Presents—will be exclusively programed and operated by Concerts West, a division of AEG Presents. This new generation venue will introduce the next wave of superstar residencies and engagements, as well as must-see events, to the city’s coveted entertainment landscape.
“AEG Presents and Concerts West are synonymous with global entertainment and we’re thrilled to bring their tremendous foresight of entertainment operations, and unmatched lineup of international talent, to Resorts World Las Vegas’s stage,” said Scott Sibella, president of Resorts World Las Vegas. “It’s critical that our partners share in our mission to redefine the hospitality experience and create defining moments for our guests. Over the past year, we have been working closely with AEG Presents and Concerts West to identify ways we can elevate programming and amplify the current concert and theater model here at The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas when we open next summer.”
“Resorts World Las Vegas shares our vision and passion of providing next-level entertainment and best-in-class venue experiences to sophisticated customers looking for something fresh and exciting,” said John Meglen, president and co-CEO of Concerts West. “For over two decades, we’ve paved the way for the modern-day residency which has evolved into a proven model of success on the Las Vegas Strip. We look forward to introducing and sharing incredible programming in the near future and continue to pioneer the future of entertainment with our partners at Resorts World Las Vegas.”
The Theatre at Resorts World Las Vegas is designed by Scéno Plus, a Montreal-based entertainment design firm that is internationally renowned for designing award-winning performance venues around the world. With a design approach featuring innovative staging, the latest in technology and audio-visual capabilities, and unrivaled guest and artist amenities, the scalable venue will introduce first-of-its-kind functionality to the “Entertainment Capital of the World.” Stage design and technical features include:

Enchanting guests from the moment they arrive, The Theatre’s modern black and champagne design aesthetic will provide a lustrous backdrop that’s equally as dazzling as the night’s entertainment. A 65-foot custom chandelier will welcome concertgoers into a four-story lobby adorned with honest and refined materials like polished stone and bright metals, along with elegant accessories and rich details creating a distinctive, high-energy environment.
The multi-level theatre offers versatile seating configurations, permitting up to 5,000 capacity, distributed between the orchestra floor and two balcony levels including dedicated VIP seating.
