China's Genting Group is building a $4B resort on the site of the former Boyd's Echelon Place project. One of the key architectural features appears to be a massive "lantern" hanging off the side of the main tower:

Is this the Resorts World they are currently building?

Like it.
Note: Genting Group is a Malaysian company. Pronounced with the G sound not the J sound according to locals I have spoken to.

Maybe they can lower it at midnight on New Year's Eve? (Or Chinese New Year's Eve, although that's not really a thing?)

One if by land, two if by sea. Build it, and they will come.

Like the Stratosphere they should open it to bungee jumping. There's lots of girls a short distance away at the SLS that like to dangle from big balls.
Btw, that staircase/escalator across the street is as G as can be.

I think they are purchasing the ball from atop the revel and inverting it - heard straub sold it now looks like a genius for buying the revel

What's the latest gossip on this casino?
I mean, I heard it's been delayed again... are they moving away from the Asian theme or is that still the dominant idea? Any word on what games/entertainment/restaurants/etc. it will feature?

Current target for opening is late 2020. I understand the big tower with the lantern has been nixed in favor of a mix of smaller towers. Still Chinese themed.

The Asian themed casino down the street resembles a ghost town.

Funny you say that, I’ve gone through there a couple times - sat waiting for Valet to take my care for ten minutes and when I walked inside there were no more then 10 players in the entire casino- how could they possibly stay in business
