Resorts World Las Vegas

I visited RWLV Monday 6/28/21 four days after the opening and came away with mixed feelings. I plan on visting again to enhance my initial impressions. First, the owners veered significantly from their original concept for an Asia-themed resort as depicted here.

What they did instead was just an (another) ultra modern high tech Vegas upscale resort with no real theme that I can see. There is some art work, a row of Rolls Royces and the RW globe in the entrance lobby. Personally I was drawn to the early renderings and think it was a mistake to not have the outdoor elements along the front of the property, for example consider the outdoor attractions that characterized all the Steve Wynn projects, however the high cost of maintenance is a factor. There is the geographical theming of the Venetian/Palazzo, Paris and NYNY, would not the LV visitor embrace an Asia-themed resort? After all, we love Asian food and am otherwise fascinated with the many cultures and of course the high end baccarat market caters to Asian players.

I'm just not really appreciating thus far the $4.3B pricetag and will continue diligently trying to appreciate/understand the value. The early rendering looked a lot more like that cost. The land was just $350M. And oh, and never ever I have I seen a parking garage not attached to the casino or otherwise so far away with the exception of Miracle Mile and PH. A 1-2 football field walk outdoors is not good.

Here's a shorter link that is easier to copy/paste.

The landcaping of RWLV is basically nonexistent.

I haven't been there, and probably won't ever visit, but my reaction to the place, based on various reports including LVA's, is "whoopie f***in' doo." Ripoff gambling. Overpriced everything. Vegas sure needed more of that!

The BJ games are garbage. Main floor is all 6 to 5 and continuous shufflers except maybe two which are $50 or $100 still 6 to 5 what a joke. Some one of these days these LV Strip table games operators are going to survey the Southern CA casinos and realize customers are staying there to get better games. Why come to Vegas and be stuck with BS games? Even Wynn and Encore just across from RWLV although mostly 6 to 5 and post pandemic up to $50 still deal all games from a shoe which customers tend to prefer since you can get a better streak than with a continuous shuffler, at least that is the belief. The shame of it too is that the word from staff that work the games is that customers hate continuous shufflers and some studies have shown they don't even get more hands per hour from them. How dumb is that?

Really I may not drop a single dollar at RWLV, not even for a donut and cup of coffee and definitely not to park.

Word has it that they have a triple zero roulette wheel in the regular casino.    Thats pretty much all I need to hear.    No thanks

 I plan on visiting and doing the walkthrough.    I'm sure I'll sign up for the card and blow through whatever free play comes with it...but then I suspect I'll hit the exit.    Strip resorts are good for entertainment and high end eating.   Looks like this place is no different.

On a second visit my impressions are a bit more positive including there is another parking garage to go with the huge one in the rear of the lot that is detached and a couple of football fields from the casino, and that one is attached to the complex at the north end adjacent to the three hotel lobbies and from what I was told one does not have to be a hotel guest to use it. I will say RWLV IS upscale and more development is planned. I stick to my main complaint that one has to go to a high limit $100 game to get a fair game of BJ. The least they can do is spread some $50 3-2 shoe games on the main floor.
