On several occasions, I pause and smile at recollections of younger me, running full-speed through the casino that formerly occupied Resorts World’s north-end Las Vegas Strip address. Still, the resort does cause me to flash back through my own decades of past Vegas visits. No, I don’t actually time travel like the film’s Oscar-winning leading lady, Michelle Yeoh. I roam the 117,000 square feet of gaming space, peruse the 70,000-square-foot luxury shopping area called The District, eye the seven pools, and sample from the resort’s 40 restaurants, including walk-up offerings on a gorgeous Asian-themed pathway called Famous Foods Street Eats. This visit includes nights in two of the three on-property hotel brands (which collectively total 3,506 guest rooms). My stay at Resorts World is both nostalgic and revelatory. Our heroine concludes, however, that if nothing matters, the better choice is to push past life’s absurdity and enjoy the experience. Hence, the film’s antagonist decides to burn down a meaningless world. “Nothing matters,” according to the plot. The highly celebrated movie is a fast-paced romp through alternating multiverses.
Like the Academy Award-winning film, the new casino-resort is a front-row seat to an epic and existential adventure. Resorts World Las Vegas is the head-spinning, real-life incarnation of Everything Everywhere All at Once.
