Nas announces his partnership with Resorts World’s $5 billion plan to expand its Queens casino, along with new amenities to elevate the surrounding neighborhood.
Nas is officially joining forces with Resorts World and its casino expansion in Queens, New York. The plan to redevelop the property will cost a whopping $5 billion, as announced on Feb. 29.
“This is an ambitious project that will give new opportunities to the hard-working families who call Queens home, attract top-tier talent, and build up the next generation of leaders,” said the hip-hop artist. “Clearly, with this project, the world is ours.”
Robert De Salvio, president of Resorts World’s parent company, Genting America East, released a statement on its “vision” to bring luxury high-rolling to the Big Apple.
“When we stood here more than a dozen years ago to break ground on Resorts World New York City, our vision extended well beyond that already-ambitious original plan — today, that vision can soon become a reality,” expressed DeSalvio, restated in Forbes.
With Nas as the face of its Queens expansion, Resorts World hopes to continue growing its New York casino through this partnership and overall impact in the city.
