Resorts World Las Vegas’ goal: Make a bigger pie
K.T. Lim, chairman and CEO of developer Genting Group, is interested in growing the entire local tourism market, not vying for someone else’s share of the pie, said Las Vegas architect Paul Steelman, who is behind Resorts World’s design.
“He wants to expand the Las Vegas market rather than doing something better than someone else,” Steelman said.
What are some of the “wow” amenities? Everyone talks about the Great Wall of China replica and the panda habitat.
The panda habitat is going to be moved to phase two, as will the water park.
There are, of course, many other attractions, starting with our ball that drops on the outside of the building, the Chinese village, the Great Wall and all the integration of that with the Strip.
Our goal in anything we design is actually very simple: We want to make you smile. If we get somebody with a simple smile, they’re going to come back.
That new phase is going to be more attraction-based. I think attraction-based tourism is going be greater, and I think the attractions will be diversified.
