Nas, Resorts World NYC Unveil A $5B Proposal He Says Could Give ‘New Opportunities To The Hard-Working Families’ In His Hometown Of Queens

The music icon has partnered with Resorts World Casino New York City and its parent company, Genting America East, to revitalize his beloved Queens neighborhood.

As reported by Commercial Observer, Genting America East executives, including the artist, shared plans for a $5 billion redevelopment endeavor to transform the Resorts World establishment into a “Las Vegas-style casino.”
Genting America East also proposed a 350,000-square-foot extension of the Resorts World casino floor. If approved, the move would position the casino as the largest gambling establishment globally, per the outlet.

Beyond revenue-generating additions, the proposal includes housing units that could serve up to 3,000 employees and a 10-acre park space for commuters.

The ability to give back to the neighborhood he grew up in is a huge accomplishment for Nas, who shared his excitement with his fans.

“This is an ambitious project that will give new opportunities to the hard-working families who call Queens home, attract top-tier talent, and build up the next generation of leaders. Clearly, with this project, the world is ours,” he captioned his celebratory video on Instagram.
