It’s time to check in on the long-awaited Resorts World project.<\/p>\n

Watching the construction activity at Resorts World is akin to watching paint dry, but lately, there’s quite a bit more paint. Or something.<\/p>\n

We got a little excited when we spotted a couple of cranes on the site<\/a>, but now there are several, so we’re optimistic there’s some momentum building.<\/p>\n

\"Resorts
And not just cranes. Other stuff, like crane parts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

During our recent visit to the Resorts World site, we spotted actual construction dudes doing construction things.<\/p>\n

We saw perhaps a dozen construction workers. A resort this size would typically employ hundreds of workers, so things are still moving at a modest pace.<\/p>\n

The president of Resorts World Las Vegas has said 1,000 construction workers will be on the site “by 2018.”<\/p>\n

\"Resorts
You go, construction dudes. Yes, they’re dudes. We can’t solve all of society’s injustices. We are just a blog.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Resorts World sits on the site of the abandoned Echelon project, which was supposed to take the place of our beloved Stardust.<\/p>\n

Much of the work that’s been done at Resorts World has been behind-the-scenes, and that’s the story they’re sticking to.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Resorts World will be an Asian-themed resort, and while the anticipated opening date has been a moving target so far, executives say the hotel-casino will open in 2020.<\/p>\n

Update (12\/16\/17): Look at all the cranes!<\/p>\n

It appears Resorts World is officially, undeniably a thing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
