When it comes to reinvention, Sin City certainly exceeds expectations and Las Vegas doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon, as 2020 will include an array of luxurious updates.

If visiting the entertainment capital of the world has been something that you have been wanting to do for quite some time, then we suggest that you do so in 2020, as the new range of luxury experiences will be capturing the world’s attention.

From new entertainment, highly-anticipated restaurants and exciting hotel developments, we’ve listed several of the luxury experiences you will be able to enjoy in the new year – make sure you have room on your bucket list and clear your schedule as a trip to Vegas in 2020 is exactly what you will wish for.

Regardless of what you choose to do, rest assured that you will not be bored in Las Vegas, as new additions in 2020 will certainly keep you entertained, including a handful of new casino operators.

Rightfully known as ‘The Gambling Capital of The World’, Vegas has approximately 51 casinos, however, the addition of several new casinos will increase the number slightly. Several hotels – Golden Gate Hotel and Casino and Downtown Grand Hotel and Casino — will be renovating and expanding their casino spaces to include more gaming areas.

The addition of several new casinos in Sin City will not only increase revenue to substantial amounts, but it will also offer a thrilling new experience for visitors worldwide who are eager to try a fresh gaming environment. According to Casino Bonus UK, “the addition of new casinos in Vegas will be a fantastic way to raise international attention, which will be great for the community of online casinos”.

One casino you should keep an eye out for will be the split-level casino within the luxurious Circa Resort and Casino and the gaming area that will be featured in the brand-new Resorts World Las Vegas – these resorts will have their doors opened by the end of 2020.

Newcasinoonline.com comments on the significance of these planned changes. Understanding these exciting improvements in the casino industry, a spokesperson from the online casino group commented: “Las Vegas often undergoes impressive reinvention, and we believe that the attention the city constantly receives has a great effect on online casinos, as it brings new-founded interest to the betting community.”

Those who are searching for something other than betting will have the opportunity to do so by visiting the highly-anticipated addition to the city, Area 15. It will be an attraction that impressively combines everything from art and commerce to food and nightlife. Visitor’s attention will be grasped by its most intriguing element — an admirably large-scaled, immersive and interactive art installation created by Meow Wolf.

Considered to be one of the most exciting social experiences of the city’s future, Area 15 will be a location to visit on your next trip to Sin City.

The new NFL stadium will also be completed in 2020 and will dramatically reshape the Vegas skyline. With 65,500 seats, the $1.8 billion project will be ready in time for the NFL season — perfect for sports fans visiting the city.

New restaurants

As the new year begins, Vegas will see the introduction of several restaurants, including several highly-anticipated collaborations with world-renowned chefs.

Award-winning chef Thomas Keller will be opening his concept with the luxury casino and resort company, Wynn Las Vegas in 2020. According to details that are available on the project, the new restaurant will be replacing the Country Club restaurant, which officially closed in 2018.

Keller has established a new paradigm within the hospitality profession by showcasing his exceptional high-standards and impressive culinary skills, therefore visiting this new Wynn concept in the new year will be a must.

Similarly, visitors will want to book a table at Tim Ho Wan. Whilst this Michelin-starred dim sum restaurant has approximately 50 locations worldwide, it made its debut in Las Vegas on September 29 with a 5,055-square foot location. Chef Ray Kwong guides the menu at this exquisite Chinese restaurant, thereby those visiting the city in 2020 should have Tim Ho Wan on their list.

New resorts will be debuting in the new year, thereby new restaurants will equally be opening their doors for eager visitors. Those who like Chinese food can enjoy the delicious cuisine at the Resorts World Las Vegas when it debuts next year. Similarly, the brand-new Circa Resort and Casino will feature five new restaurants, and whilst information on these amenities are currently limited, we can expect a luxurious experience accompanied with a delectable menu.

New accommodation

A seemingly endless amount of luxury hotels in Sin City can make choosing one quite challenging, especially when there are several new hotels and renovations underway.

One of the most anticipated additions is the previously highlighted Circa Resort and Casino, which is expected to debut in December 2020 as part of the Fremont Street Experience — with 777 rooms, five delectable restaurants and a two-level casino, guests are likely to have a rather grand experience at this resort. This magnificent project is being undertaken by brothers Derek and Greg Stevens, and they ensure that it will be a ‘true homage to the history and future of Vegas’.

This brand-new resort will be built on the grounds of the prior Las Vegas Club, Glitter Gulch and Mermaids Casino, and will offer entertainment, unlike any other location, as over-the-top experiences and one-of-a-kind facilities will welcome guests – anyone lucky enough to visit this new resort will be swept away by its glamour and given an unforgettable experience that is only replicated in dreams.

Those wanting to visit the city of bright lights will have also have the option of staying in the luxurious Resorts World Las Vegas, as it will also be opening by the end of 2020. The Malaysia-based Genting Group’s multi-billion dollar project is set to have an opulent Asian theme that will enamour visitors.

Featuring approximately 3,400 rooms, exquisitely authentic Chinese restaurants and a casino with more than 100,000 square feet of space, the Resorts World Las Vegas will be adjacent to the Wynn Encore, which is an ideal location for anyone wishing to experience Sin City.
