LAS VEGAS’ $3.7 billion Hotel sat EMPTY for 16 years before it opened

In this video, I uncover the story of Las Vegas’ $3.7 billion hotel that sat empty for 16 years before finally opening its doors. What was supposed to become one of the most luxurious resorts on the Strip turned into a massive symbol of delays, financial collapse, ownership changes, and bad timing. For years, the building stood there fully visible to millions of visitors — but completely unused. I’ll break down how the project started, why it failed, how it stayed empty for so long, and how it finally came back from the dead as one of the most unbelievable hotel comeback stories in Las Vegas history.
