The Resorts World line of properties, which includes a $4 billion hotel and casino development currently under construction in Las Vegas, is owned by Malaysian columbus oh dump truck company Genting Group. The Resorts World Las Vegas project initially experienced delays in starting construction, with the first phase originally scheduled to open last year, and recently was involved in a design-focused legal dispute with its neighbor, Wynn Resorts.
Wynn alleged that Genting was using the same design as its Wynn Las Vegas and Encore hotel casinos to capitalize on the Wynn brand. The two eventually settled the dispute after Genting agreed to alter the exterior design of its project. When built out, Resorts World Las Vegas will offer a total of 7,000 hotel rooms, conference space, Chinese-themed attractions and other resort amenities.
Plaza, which is owned by China Construction America, a subsidiary of state-owned China State Construction Engineering Corp., is also the contractor behind the $540 million, Arquitectonica-designed SkyRise Miami entertainment and observation tower, scheduled to start construction this year.
