Drew Las Vegas developer Witkoff is pushing the casino’s opening back to the second quarter of 2022 after announcing Diller Scofidio + Renfro as the design architect for the project.
The 3,780-room Drew, which will have more than 550,000 square feet of meeting and convention space, was supposed to open in late 2020.
The Drew will be unlike anything on the Strip today as it will include curated experiences from around the world, the company said.
The building originally broke ground in 2007 as the Fontainebleau, but that $2.8 billion project went bankrupt in 2009. Carl Icahn bought Fontainebleau in 2010 for $150 million and sold it to Witkoff in 2017 for $600 million.
Witkoff has budgeted $3.1 billion for Drew, including the purchase price. The hotel will be managed by Marriott.
