We have to hand it to Las Vegas — when they do something, they do it big and in style.

The opening of the multi-billion-dollar Resorts World Las Vegas will be delayed until Summer 2021 instead of the end of 2020 as planned.

Crowned the most expensive resort property ever developed in Las Vegas, costing a whopping $4.3 billion USD ($5.7 billion CDN), the ultra resort has surpassed The Cosmopolitan Las Vegas$4.18 billion USD ($5.55 billion CDN) — as well as the Wynn Las Vegas$3.26 billion USD ($4.3 billion CDN).
