Resorts World Las Vegas will seamlessly blend the technology and luxury appeal of an urban contemporary resort with the traditions and time-honoured details of the Resorts World brand. From a lush outdoor pool oasis with bold accents and rustic textures, to an interior colour palette of warm gold and cream hues, each space will have its own identity and will be equally as inviting and immersive as it is unique.
