Genting agrees to alter Resorts World Las Vegas design

Genting Berhad and Wynn Resorts have settled an intellectual property dispute regarding the design of Resorts World Las Vegas, which is currently under construction.

In a joint statement, Genting said that it agreed to make a few changes to the design of the $4-billion casino resort, for it to be more distinct from Wynn properties.

The Malaysian operator’s Senior Vice-President of Public Affairs and Development Michael Levoff said, “While the company believes the design to have had differences with Wynn and Encore’s once fully realized, after further consideration and conversations with the Wynn team, we have directed our design team to make several changes that will clearly differentiate the two properties.”

He added, “This mutually beneficial settlement will allow Genting to continue to develop Resorts World Las Vegas with minimal impact to cost and the overall project timeline.”
