What Resorts World is
Resorts World Las Vegas opened in June 2021 on the 88-acre site of the Stardust, which closed in 2006 and was followed by a stalled Boyd Gaming project called Echelon. Malaysia's Genting Group bought the land in 2013 and eventually built a $4.3 billion, 3,500-room resort that was the first fully new Strip mega-resort since the Cosmopolitan in 2010. It houses three Hilton brands in one 59-storey structure: the Las Vegas Hilton (the mainstream rooms), the Conrad (upscale) and Crockfords (the luxury LXR tier), all sharing the casino, pools and restaurants, with Hilton Honors as the loyalty programme alongside Genting Rewards.
It sits on the west side of the North Strip between Circus Circus and the Fashion Show mall, directly across from the convention center's West Hall. The west tower's 100,000-square-foot LED screen wrapping the facade is visible from most of the north end of the boulevard and from arriving flights.
Free: the LED tower, the fountain and the art
The facade screens are the free show: nightly visual pieces, sports, advertising and occasional live broadcasts play across the west tower, and the best view is from the boulevard sidewalk opposite or from the Fashion Show mall side. Outside the main entrance, a landscaped plaza with a fountain plays choreographed water-and-light shows in the evening, modest by Bellagio standards but pleasant, and the resort has a sizeable digital art programme in the lobby and casino.
Inside, the Asian-inspired garden atrium and the koi pond near the Crockfords entrance are quiet places to sit, and the resort's 50-foot LED globe in the casino is a landmark for meeting people. The District retail promenade is worth a walk and, unusually, has an independent-feeling mix of shops rather than only luxury brands. All of this is open long hours at no cost.
Attractions and nightlife inside
The 5,000-seat Resorts World Theatre was built for residencies and has hosted Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and others; check the official site for who is playing during your dates, with tickets typically $80 to $400-plus. Zouk Nightclub and the Ayu Dayclub pool party are the nightlife arm, imported from Singapore, with covers from $30 to $100-plus. AREA15, the immersive-art complex with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart, is a five-minute rideshare west and is covered in the attractions hub.
The Awana Spa is large and well-designed with a "fountain of youth" hydrotherapy circuit. The Vegas Loop has a station at Resorts World's south entrance, linking to the convention center and Encore in minutes. For the broader picture of where these shows and clubs rank, see shows and nightlife.
Dining highlights
The headline is Famous Foods Street Eats, a hawker-style hall with a dozen-plus stalls flown in from Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand plus local favourites: Boon Tong Kee chicken rice, Geylang Claypot Rice, Nasi Lemak Ayam Taliwang and a great Thai stall, with most plates at $12 to $20 as of 2026. It is the best casual meal on the North Strip and one of the best food halls in the city. Wally's wine bar and restaurant sits inside the same district.
Higher up: Carversteak (steakhouse), Kusa Nori (sushi), Genting Palace (fine Cantonese), Brezza (Italian, with a big terrace), Wakuda (Japanese fine dining from Tetsuya Wakuda), RedTail (sports bar and games), and a large 24-hour Crossroads café. Crockfords guests get the quiet Crockfords Bar. The dining hub ranks these against the Wynn and Fontainebleau line-ups.
The pool complex, casino and vibe
The 5.5-acre pool deck on the fifth floor has seven pools including a 1,800-square-foot infinity pool, a family pool, a cabana pool and the Ayu Dayclub party pool. The Hilton, Conrad and Crockfords each have a designated area, with Crockfords guests getting the calmest one. Pools are guests-only with wristbands and open seasonally from early spring to autumn; the family pool and shallow areas make it one of the better North Strip options for children. Cabanas run from around $200 midweek to $1,000-plus at peak.
The 117,000-square-foot casino is bright, open and modern, with cashless gaming and a huge LED display, and it is quieter than most on weekdays. Table minimums are $15 to $50. The Dawg House sports bar and the sportsbook are decent. The vibe is contemporary, convention-driven during the week and younger at weekends because of Zouk, with a more Asian-Pacific influence in the food and design than anywhere else on the Strip.
Rooms and who should stay here
Three tiers. Las Vegas Hilton rooms start around 400 square feet with a clean, modern look; Conrad rooms are larger (around 550 square feet) with better finishes and a separate lobby on the 22nd floor; Crockfords rooms and suites are the luxury tier with a private entrance, lounge and butler-style service. All opened in 2021, so nothing is dated. Rates as of 2026 run roughly $150 to $300 midweek for the Hilton, $250 to $450 for Conrad and $400-plus for Crockfords, plus a resort fee of about $50 plus tax; Hilton Honors members can sometimes use points. Check the official site.
Resorts World suits convention attendees, Hilton Honors loyalists, residency ticket-holders, families who want a new hotel with a proper family pool, and food-hall fans. It suits fewer first-timers on short trips (the Center Strip is a 30-to-40-minute walk or a $12 to $15 rideshare) and fewer people who want to be surrounded by neighbouring resorts. The hotels hub has comparisons.
Parking, fees and getting there
Self-parking is in the large garage on the north side, entered from the boulevard or from Sammy Davis Jr. Drive on the west. Resorts World has changed its policy more than once; as of 2026 it charges a daily self-parking fee in the $15 to $25 range for non-guests and many guests, with exemptions for higher loyalty tiers and Nevada residents. Confirm before you arrive. Valet is at the main entrance.
The Vegas Loop station is at the south entrance and links to the convention center and Encore in a few minutes for a few dollars per ride. The nearest monorail stop is the convention center station, a 10-to-15-minute walk. From LAS, a rideshare takes 20 to 30 minutes and costs $30 to $40. On foot, the Fashion Show mall is 10 minutes south, Wynn 20 to 25, Circus Circus 10 north; the Deuce bus stops out front. The transportation hub has every option.
