IAG AUG 2021年8月 亞博匯 33 封面故事 the North Strip with the Wynn–convention centre– RWLV triangle. “So yes, I think we are in a renaissance for that part of the strip.” There were, of course, plenty of obstacles along the way for Genting’s Las Vegas project, not least the COVID-19 pandemic which shut the city down just as construction was nearing completion. But recovery has been encouraging. Since restrictions began lifting earlier this year, Nevada has recorded four consecutivemonthswith revenues above US$1 billion, including an all-time record of US$1.23 billion in May – beating the US$1.17 billion mark set in October 2007. The May figure was also 25% higher than May 2019, particularly impressive given the absence of international visitors. It was amid this pent-up demand that RWLV opened its doors on 24 June. “The goal was to make our resort the most technologically advanced property in the market and to add something truly unique to the Strip.” – Scott Sibella 「我們的目標就是令該綜合度假村成為市場上技術最先進的酒店，為金 光大道增添真正獨特之物。」 – Scott Sibella 「我們的團隊通力協作評估基礎設施及檢視度假村區域 內的頻繁接觸點，高度重視衛生及安全。」 「儘管2020年面臨著前所未有的障礙，但我的團隊仍然堅 持初心，團結一致克服任何障礙。」 從美學角度來看，RWLV巧妙地展現了其亞洲背景，但並未 落入俗套。與之相反的案例是，2016年12月開業、以中國為主 題的「Lucky Dragon」僅在14個月後就宣告關閉。 Bernhard表示，RWLV「不可否認地受到亞洲的影響」，並 且有向新加坡及澳門的頂級全球綜合度假村致意，「但並非以 很多人認為的方式。我們最初探討過熊貓展示的可能性及整個 風格走頂級中國風。」 「顯然他們偏離了這一方向而展示了更具亞洲風格的事 物。」 Sibella稱，此種說法是對RWLV的一種普遍誤解。 「我們從未計劃打造一個主題酒店，」他解釋道，「整個項 目是全新的豪華酒店體驗，還有這融合了傳統及現代的建築及 先進的技術，同時亦通過在藝術氛圍打造及裝飾方面巧妙融入 了亞洲元素，向雲頂發源地致敬。」
