It is the first new resort to be completed on the Las Vegas Strip since the Cosmopolitan opened in 2010. At a cost of $4.3 billion, Resorts World is the most expensive resort property ever developed in Las Vegas.

As of 2026, Resorts World Las Vegas remains the most expensive hotel-casino ever built in the city, with a staggering construction cost of $4.3 billion. Opened in 2021, it was the first ground-up resort built on the Strip in over a decade and features three distinct Hilton-branded hotels (Hilton, Conrad, and Crockfords) under one roof. Close behind is the Wynn Las Vegas, which cost approximately $2.7 billion (nearly $4 billion when adjusted for inflation). While the Sphere (opened in 2023) cost an incredible $2.3 billion, it is primarily an entertainment venue rather than a hotel. Looking ahead, newly proposed luxury projects on the North Strip are aiming for the $5 billion mark, but Resorts World holds the current record for its sheer scale, integrated "Vegas Loop" station, and high-tech digital exterior—a 100,000-square-foot LED screen that is one of the largest in the world. Its massive price tag is reflected in its ultra-luxury "Palaces" and the most advanced gaming floor technology available in 2026.
