Resorts World Vegas grand opening June 2021

[MDawg]

We were at the VIP "pre opening" which started at 7pm June 24, 2021. The VIP Event went until 11pm, when the casino commenced operations and the general public was allowed in.

Most everyone was dressed up and guests ranged from, among others, Nevada Governor Sisolak, Mark Davis and Elaine Wynn (I had met her before and talked to her a while, mostly reminding her that I had voted all my shares for her in 2015, to replace Steve as the head of Wynn - Elaine said, "Well, I am in charge now!" - also we took some pics with both the governor and the Raiders owner - my wife thought he wore a toupee but we explained no, that's just his hair and Davis is known for that unkempt 'do)), and various celebrities including some rappers like Usher and also Paris Hilton (makes sense that she and her mom Kathy were there - after all, one of the hotels at RW is a Hilton). Lot of high rollers I know from the tables were there.

We entered at the Crockford's entrance, which leads directly from the hotel lobby into the high limit Baccarat pit. In there we had appetizers like lobster tail and claws, giant prawns, and free drinks (most of the bars in that Crockford's casino and lounge area offered only Moet & Chandon champagne or Bombay Sapphire Gin, due to a promotional relationship with the resort).

Here are some random pics from the party. All restaurants were open and offering free samplings, and there were tons of different kinds of free drinks available all over the resort too (not just champagne, not just gin). The free food and drink went on during the VIP portion of the opening.
