Resorts World

I wonder if the casino is opening before the hotel?

 

Doubtful, I have a feeling that it's more an issue of (1) this being a hugely-anticipated opening, and (2) both Crockfords and Conrad being very, very high-end brands (I believe the former was Kerry Packer's donation target of choice in London). The grand opening at Bellagio was something like $1k per person.

That being said, while I do want to check it out, I have a general rule of giving places some time to work things out after they open. I would be shocked if there wasn't at least one "[X] didn't work" threads from people who were there opening night. Places in Vegas had a pretty wide variety of systems issues after the lockdown ended, and that included places that'd been open for a decade or more. I'm not going to necessarily fault them for screwups, because this is an absolutely massive ground-up undertaking by a (for Vegas) mostly-independent operation, but I've been down this road before.

 

Same here. I'm interested to check out out, but certainly no rush to be there opening weekend

 

This is why we have soft openings.

 

I may swing by in July out of curiosity but I doubt I’ll gamble there. But if there’s a place there with a legit bourbon selection I may make it a point.

Going to check out grand opening assuming I am released from Canadian jail by then.

Yeah. I need the 2-3k return fine to be removed before I go as well.

We're going to be in Vegas in early July and plan to do a walkthrough with plenty of pictures to share here.

 

My marketing email just offered a pre-sale code. I've emailed my host to find out if they can set aside a couple for us. Wifey is 100% on board with this idea

 

See you at the halestorm show!

 

I got the offer too, I don't love any of the acts yet, but I'm glad to see them filling dates! I'd go if I was going to be in town, but nothing I'd necessarily travel for.

 

Booked 4 nights at Crockfords in September. This should give them some time to iron out the kinks.

 

Just saw this https://lasvegasweekly.com/ae/music/2021/jun/02/miley-cyrus-resorts-world-ay-dayclub-july-4/

Does that mean June 24 is a soft opening and the real opening is July 4th. Wonder what will be open on the first weekend?

 

It opens on June 24th, you can book your room right now if you want. They just set the party for the 4th of July weekend, when Vegas should be slammed with visitors.

June 24th is the opening and they will throw a grand opening celebration on July 4th.

 

Exactly, it's not uncommon for places to do an official (not just a "soft" for friends and family) opening, and then have a grand opening party later on. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if they need a couple weeks to get their act together when it comes to a property that size. There have been issues in the past, like when PH (née Aladdin) had a surveillance issue on opening night and left people stranded. I'm very excited to see the place, but probably wouldn't book a stay there until July or so.

 

yes, I have (well used to have) a similar rule about new cruiseships. I have to wait at least a few months after a new one debuts otherwise it's "X didn't work out"
