The $4 billion Resorts World Las Vegas hotel-casino project is now a go after the Clark County zoning commission approved the 87.8-acre former site of the Stardust Hotel and Casino for a 7,000-room hotel and arena/conference center, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported. Malaysian-based developer Genting Berhad purchased the site in 2013 for $350 million.

The resort's first phase will include a China-themed 3,307-room tower with more than 657,000 sq. ft. of public spaces, including a movie theater and convention center. It is scheduled to open in 2018 and will bring 30,000 construction jobs to Las Vegas, as well as 13,000 permanent jobs.
