Resorts World Las Vegas Strengthens Its Luxury, Dining and Entertainment Profile at IPW 2026
At IPW 2026 in Fort Lauderdale, ABC Mundial spoke with Suzie Rugh, representative of Resorts World Las Vegas, who presented the latest developments at one of the most modern hotel and entertainment complexes on the Las Vegas Strip.
During the Media Marketplace, the executive highlighted the strong growth the resort has experienced since opening five years ago and how the complex continues expanding its luxury, dining, wellness and entertainment offerings for different types of international travelers.
Resorts World Las Vegas currently brings together three hotels within the same property: Las Vegas Hilton at Resorts World, Conrad Las Vegas at Resorts World and Crockfords Las Vegas, the latter focused on the ultra-luxury segment. According to Rugh, one of the features most appreciated by guests is that each hotel has its own independent lobby, entrance and check-in area, allowing for a more comfortable and private experience without having to cross through the casino.
The complex has also become one of Las Vegas’ newest culinary hotspots, featuring more than 40 dining venues and bars throughout the property. Among the most notable experiences is Carversteak, the restaurant by renowned chef Mario Carbone, which recently opened at the resort. Another standout is Crossroads Kitchen, considered the first fully vegan restaurant on the Strip, along with concepts such as Wally’s Wine & Spirits, famous for its charcuterie boards and shared dining experiences.
One of the most eye-catching venues is Kitty Kitty Speakeasy, a hidden bar located behind a themed store that completely changes its décor and cocktail menu according to the season. The venue is currently featuring a tropical aesthetic after previously showcasing a cherry blossom-inspired concept.
Suzie Rugh also highlighted the recent renovations completed at the resort’s massive pool complex, a more than five-acre space that was modernized through a multimillion-dollar investment. The area includes Athena Pool, an adults-only infinity pool featuring DJs, outdoor blackjack and panoramic views of the Las Vegas Strip.
Entertainment continues to be another major pillar of the property. Resorts World features a 3,000-seat theater that has hosted residencies by international artists including Katy Perry, Janet Jackson, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood. In addition, the resort recently launched “Resorts World Live,” a new platform for concerts and intimate performances combining indoor and outdoor venues to create more immersive audience experiences.
Programming also includes Latin music events, international DJs, acoustic performances, mixology nights featuring renowned bars from New York and Mexico City, sunset wine tastings and new culinary experiences such as charcuterie board workshops and high tea offerings.
The company also emphasized its focus on wellness and premium experiences. The resort’s spa features plunge pools, saunas, steam rooms, relaxation areas and luxury treatments designed for travelers seeking to combine relaxation and entertainment in a single destination.
In recent months, several specialized tourism and lifestyle media outlets in the United States have identified Resorts World Las Vegas as one of the fastest-growing complexes within the city’s evolving tourism landscape, particularly for its ability to integrate luxury hospitality, international dining, entertainment and immersive experiences under one concept.
With new cultural, culinary and hospitality offerings, Resorts World Las Vegas continues positioning itself as one of the leading icons of the new generation of luxury resorts in Las Vegas.
