Resorts World coming to Las Vegas in 2016

The Malaysia-based Genting Group paid Boyd Gaming Corporation a bargain price of $350 million ($4 million an acre) for the Echelon site, where construction of a 5,000-room, $4.8 billion development was halted in August 2008.  It was the former site of the Stardust.

They will be building Resorts World Las Vegas to feature a live panda habitat, a replica of the Great Wall of China, a 7.5-acre indoor water amusement park, tea gardens, outdoor red pagodas, theaters and other family-friendly attractions.  Construction is to start in 2014 with the initial opening of 3,500 hotel rooms and a 175,000 square-foot casino will be in 2016

Genting operates the Resorts World brand in Singapore, New York, Malaysia, and Manila, with casinos in the United Kingdom, the Bahamas, and Australia
