New Aladdin set for August opening

Thursday, Feb. 3, 2000 | 9:12 a.m.

The new $1.3 billion Aladdin hotel-casino and its shopping mall will open on the Las Vegas Strip Aug. 17.

The 2,600-room resort features a 100,000-square-foot casino, a completely remodeled performing arts theater, a luxury casino and the Desert Passage shopping mall.

Desert Passage, a 500,000-square-foot shopping complex encircling the hotel tower, will have 135 stores and 14 restaurants.

Project developer Aladdin Gaming, LLC said the hotel will allow guests access to their rooms, the pool and health spa without walking through the casino.

The new resort will replace the old Aladdin hotel-casino, a Las Vegas icon that was imploded in April 1998.
