• The historic Stardust Resort and Casino occupied the site from 1958 to 2006. In 2007 both Stardust towers were imploded and construction began on what was originally planned for the site, Echelon Place.
• Construction on Echelon Place was halted in 2008 due to financial problems caused by the 2008 economic downturn. The partially built tower stood unfinished until construction resumed in 2015 after the Genting Group purchased the site 2 years prior.
• The final cost of the project totaled at $4.3 billion, making Resorts World Las Vegas the most expensive resort ever developed in Las Vegas.
• The tower contains 3,506 rooms within 3 Hilton branded hotels: Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World, Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World, and Crockfords Las Vegas.
• A 100,000-square-foot LED screen adorns the tower making it the second largest video screen in the world.
