Ever since Resorts World resort was announced, way back in March 2013, the intention was for the new hotel-casino to have an Asian theme, including pandas, a Chinese garden and a replica of the Great Wall of China.<\/p>\n

Now, we\u2019ve heard Resorts World Las Vegas will change course and abandon its Asian theme.<\/p>\n

\u201cChange course\u201d doesn\u2019t quite do it justice, actually, because absolutely nobody saw that coming.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey, Resorts World, if you\u2019re losing the theme, might be a good time to rethink that name, too. Just saying.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Resorts World has been a source of fascination for Vegas watchers. The Resorts World saga has included not only construction delays, but also a lawsuit<\/a> claiming Resorts World looks too much like Wynn and Encore.<\/p>\n

Originally, the $4 billion Resorts World was to break ground in 2014, with the first phase to open in 2016.<\/p>\n

The ground breaking happened in 2015, now the opening is slated for late 2020. Ish.<\/p>\n

Our most recent photo of Resorts World. Since then, the hotel tower has been topped out (Aug. 15, 2019).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

While some consider the sloth-like pace of construction at Resorts World a source of concern, we say it\u2019s a cunning business move.<\/p>\n

Las Vegas visitation and room demand isn\u2019t exactly booming at the moment, so if Resorts World brought its 3,000-plus rooms online now, it could be disastrous.<\/p>\n

Also wise is the decision to move away from an Asian theme, should that come to pass. Such a theme could limit the appeal of Resorts World, and de-theming of casinos in Las Vegas has been a trend in recent years. (Treasure Island is now TI, for example.)<\/p>\n

Challenges related to international travel could very well be a factor in Resorts World reconsidering its theme. (And don\u2019t get us started on the dumpling fire that was Lucky Dragon<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

The official statement in response to our story about Resorts World dropping its Forbidden City theme is a tad on the vague side.<\/p>\n

\"Resorts
Translation: Confirmed.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Doubt our sources at your peril!<\/p>\n

Which leads us to wonder if the new vision for Resorts World includes a theme at all.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s next for Resorts World, but rest assured pandas won\u2019t be part of the equation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
