Resorts World Las Vegas
Opened in June 2021, Resorts World Las Vegas is the first integrated resort complex to be built on the Las Vegas Strip in more than a decade. The $4.3 billion property features 3,500 guest rooms and suites; a modern gaming floor; more than 40 food and beverage options; nightlife venues; and more features for meetings and events. Through its partnership with Hilton, the development includes the Las Vegas Hilton, Conrad Las Vegas and Crockfords Las Vegas, one of the first U.S. hotels from Hilton’s independent luxury property collection LXR. Located at the north end of the Strip, Resorts World Las Vegas sits across from the 1.4 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center.

Theatre at Resorts World
Resorts World’s 5,000-capacity theater includes two private lounges, bars and VIP spaces. The concert and entertainment venue is built for A-list concerts as well as conventions and corporate events. International Design Firm Scéno Plus designed the multilevel space, which houses Las Vegas’ largest and tallest performance stage. And everyone has a great view: The furthest seat is just 150 feet from the stage with comfortable seating, unobstructed sightlines and top-end audio with more than 265 L-Acoustics speakers that use L-ISA hyperreal technology.

Stadia Bar
Stadia Bar opened at Caesars Palace in June. The new sports-watching destination bar and lounge offers a chichi viewing experience with numerous amenities, large HD TVs and a menu including high-end spirits and cocktails, showcasing spirits brands by athletes and celebrities. The venue features an experiential highball cart for guests to customize their drinks. Global architecture and design firm Rockwell Group designed the 120-seat sports hub, where the flooring is made from recycled basketball courts. There’s an elevated bar as well as VIP leather-wrapped domes, which lend the effect of sitting in a vintage leather football helmet with a private screen. Sports-inspired decor details include net-like chandeliers, sconces that look like deconstructed baseballs and glove-like leather banquettes.

Night + Market Vegas at the Virgin Hotel
Night + Market Vegas at the Virgin Hotel, the Las Vegas outpost of chef Kris Yenbamroong’s popular Thai street food restaurant, adjoins the casino and lobby of the new Virgin property with a bright, lively atmosphere; the eatery opened this spring when the new resort debuted in the former Hard Rock space. The 150-seat restaurant incorporates bright colors and patterns, as well as a dazzling disco ball installation suspended around the perimeter from Avenue Interior Design. A polished chrome bar serves as the high-design venue’s centerpiece.

Virgin Hotels Las Vegas Event Lawn
Who could forget Hard Rock's famous (and infamous) Rehab pool? Virgin Hotels Las Vegas Event Lawn, which took over the former Hard Rock off-strip location this spring, reimagines that Rehab real estate as an ideal place for alfresco events: It now has a 5-acre event lawn. The flat, outdoor turf venue is outfitted with a stage that borders the complex’s pool areas. It will host private events as well as concerts. It also connects to the new indoor event space known as the Manor, which has a max capacity of 300 for receptions.

The menu includes hot dishes (like black cod with miso or creamy spicy crab); cold dishes (like shiitake salad or vegetable hand rolls); Wagyu beef; and more. For events, Nobu Las Vegas offers private and semiprivate dining rooms (as well as off-site catering).

One Steakhouse
At One Steakhouse, brothers David Morton and Michael Morton follow in the footsteps of their father, restaurateur Arnie Morton. Executive chef Patrick Munster’s menu includes steaks (of course), surf and turf, a raw bar and other entrees, as well as indulgent sides like classic onion soup and Rhode Island calamari. Here, the energy from the lively bar lounge flows into the dining room. One upper level is a chic space for gathering with an LED video wall.

Amalfi by Bobby Flay
After 16 years at Caesars Palace, chef Bobby Flay has opened his first Italian restaurant, Amalfi by Bobby Flay. The menu is inspired by his travels to Italy and the Amalfi Coast. Dishes on the large menu range from light antipasti to rich pastas. Among the menu’s centerpieces are the fresh fish and seafood display, inspired by coastal Italian markets and staffed by an expert fishmonger, who is available for guest questions. Designed by Olivia Jane Design & Interiors, the design includes natural tones, splashes of greenery, organic fabrics, stone and wood materials. The eatery has four unique spaces: the bar and lounge, the main dining room, the market room and a private dining room. The capacity for an event buyout is approximately 110.
