Despite already being America’s Playground, Las Vegas is working on projects to expand and add even more excitement for its guests and visitors. With areas like New Jersey and Mississippi continuing to make changes, Las Vegas must do the same to stay ahead of the competition.
Whether it's for casinos, hotels or entertainment, Las Vegas has always been at the top of the list — and it looks to stay there with these upcoming changes.
Here we look at 10 projects that are expected to be finished by 2021:
10. Area 15
Located on Desert Inn Road behind Trump International Hotel Las Vegas on the north end of the Strip, this 126,000-square-foot retail and entertainment complex is expected to be completed in the last half of 2019.
9. Kind Heaven
Kind Heaven, scheduled to open toward the end of next summer, will be located in The LINQ Hotel & Casino Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip. The goal of this $100 million attraction is for guests to feel like they are in Southeast Asia. Visitors will have the chance to experience music in three nightclubs, including Surging Dragon at the Asian night market.
8. Caesars Forum
Back in July, Caesars Entertainment Corporation broke ground on Caesars Forum.
The $375 million, 650,000-square-foot conference center is within walking distance to over 20,000 Caesars Entertainment hotel rooms and adjacent to The LINQ Promenade.
7. Wynn West
In the beginning of November, Wynn Las Vegas announced it was no longer going to build Paradise Park, the lagoon theme park it had been planning for a few years. However, parts of the project will continue to be built. One is the 400,000-square-foot convention center that Wynn Las Vegas hopes to open in 12 to 18 months.
6. MSG Sphere
The Madison Square Garden Company and Las Vegas Sands Corp. broke ground on the MSG Sphere, which will be located at The Venetian Las Vegas, back on 27 September.
5. Convention center
In early September, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) Board of Directors took the final step needed to begin construction on the Las Vegas Convention Center District’s Phase Two expansion by approving the guaranteed maximum price agreement.
4. Las Vegas Stadium
The current Oakland Raiders of the National Football League will have a new home in 2020 after the completion of the Las Vegas Stadium. The stadium, which holds 65,000 seats, is scheduled to be completed by the end of July 2020, and appears on track to do so. It is expected to be the home field for the Raiders along with the UNLV football team. UNLV is scheduled to play the first game at the stadium on 29 August 2020, against California. Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced an unprecedented 15-year partnership that will make it the first founding partner of the Las Vegas Stadium.
3. Fremont Hotel
Boyd Gaming has invested $32 million to expand Fremont Hotel & Casino. The expansion will include a 509-room hotel tower in the same area of the Fremont Street Experience.
2. Resorts World Casino
Malaysia’s Genting Group broke ground on Resorts World Las Vegas in 2015 after purchasing the property from Boyd Gaming for $350 million in 2013. The $4 billion resort is projected to include 3,000 hotel rooms and a casino with a combined 3,500 slot machines and table games in its initial phase. The property will have 30 food and beverage outlets, a 4,000-seat theater and an elaborate garden attraction that will serve as the property’s front door to the Strip.
1. 18 Fremont
Derek Stevens, the owner of The D Las Vegas, has plans for a new property located at 18 Fremont, where the former Las Vegas Club stood. The plan is for the hotel tower to be 459 feet tall and have 777 rooms.
