The newest thing on the Strip
Resorts World Las Vegas opened in 2021 and is the first ground-up resort built on the Strip in over a decade. Its performance was slow initially and improved through 2026 on the back of convention business.
Genting is not an American company. The group is Malaysian, built around Genting Highlands, a hill resort north of Kuala Lumpur that holds the only casino licence in Malaysia.
Singapore, and a licence to defend
Resorts World Sentosa is one of Singapore's two integrated resorts, alongside Marina Bay Sands. Singapore licenses casinos in a duopoly under conditions considerably stricter than most jurisdictions, including entry fees for residents.
Its casino licence renewal falls due in February 2027, and Genting is spending around $5.3 billion on expansion ahead of the evaluation. The Singapore regulator issued the property a Letter of Censure in May 2026, which is the kind of thing that matters a great deal when a licence is up for review.
The Macau attempt
Genting made an unexpected bid for a Macau gaming concession in 2022, submitting documents as a seventh bidder against the six incumbents. It did not succeed, and in August 2026 the group began voluntary liquidation of the dormant subsidiary created for that bid, which closes the chapter.
Our Macau concessionaires page covers the six companies that did win.
Where you will find it
What the operator does not decide
Branding varies between groups; the mathematics does not. A pass line bet costs 1.41% at every casino in the world, and the things that genuinely change what you pay are printed on the felt: our 6:5 blackjack and European against American wheels pages cover the two worth checking first.
Where the operator does matter is comps, since loyalty programmes are set at group level and play recorded at one property produces offers across the whole estate.
