Today, when we think of casinos, right away the first association most likely is Las Vegas. The commercialized picture of Las Vegas that most of us got from the Hollywood movies are flashy spotlights illuminating roads to the biggest lavish-styled casinos where the crowd from all over the world is. But is Las Vegas actually the biggest and only noteworthy casino project out there?

Las Vegas and Its Casino Projects

The life of Las Vegas is relatively young and over the period of half a century, Las Vegas transformed form a town with illegal gambling industry to one of the world’s best-known gambling cities. The development of Las Vegas has roots in partnerships of mafia lords and local businessmen. Step by step and Las Vegas is now the first association of the gambling industry.

There are several casino projects currently happening in Las Vegas which will mark the further expansion of the casino industry. Circa Las Vegas Hotel-Casino, the property of Virgin Hotel Las Vegas with 60,000 square foot (5,574 sq m) casino and 130,000 square foot (12,077 sq m) convention areas in the plan worth $200 million, or the $1.66 billion-worth construction of MSG Sphere casino resort are only some of the casino projects to expect.

The Year of 2021 will also be marked by the opening of Resorts World Las Vegas and the current COVID situation hasn’t stopped the ongoing construction worth $4.6 billion.
