Inside Asian Gaming

IAG JAPAN MAY 2020 22 what’s going on in Las Vegas is it’s becoming more of a corporate entity that operates the properties. Our chairman doesn’t operate that way. Genting operates its properties independently with support from corporate, but the pulse has to be on the property. “We want to get back to the days when it was all about the customer and employees, the good old Vegas days. I think having one property, not this big overhead of corporate, we can accomplish that. That’s what our goal is.” TWIN TOWERS Scheduled to be the first all-new resort to open on the Strip since The Cosmopolitan in 2010, RWLV’s two Paul Steelman-designed black-clad, red-trimmed 59-story towers topped off last August. The towers will house 3,500 guest rooms under the Hilton, LXR and Conrad brands, announced in February as Hilton Hotel’s largest ever multibrand deal at one property. Along with the 110,000 square foot (10,220 square meter) casino, the IR will have a sky casino, a 5,000 seat theater aiming to host “A-list residencies” and 350,000 square feet of MICE space. The resort also promises cutting edge technology including a 50-foot (15 meter) video globe and LED displays on both towers. The 100,000 square foot screen on the West Tower, closest to the Strip, will rank among the world’s largest building displays. Food concepts will range from Michelin star dining to street food. Sibella understands appealing to a wide swath of Vegas visitors. He spent eight years as President of MGM Grand, the Strip’s largest hotel with more than 6,000 rooms, reportedly instituting significant changes based on what he learned while working on the resort’s front lines as part of the reality show Undercover Boss. Sibella took a buyout in February last year in an MGM cost cutting program that shed several US senior executives.
