It is operated by the Malaysia-based Genting Group.[1] Their corporate office for the southeast USA is located in downtown Miami, Florida. The resort is located in Bimini, Bahamas, 42 miles east of Miami, Florida. Estimated cost to be built is US$220 Million.[2] History and developmentIn June 2012, Genting Group signed a deal to open Resorts World Bimini Bay. It included a partnership between Genting Malaysia Berhad and RAV Bahamas, the developer of Bimini Bay and the Rockwell Island Beach Estates.[3] The Resorts World Bimini Casino opened in June 2013. It is the only casino on the island and the closest offshore casino to South Florida. In late June, 2013, Resorts World introduced the MS Bimini Superfast,[4] a German built ship that brings passengers from Miami to Bimini.[5][6][7][8] Prime Minister of the Bahamas, Rt. Honorable Perry G. Christie, and the Chairman of the Genting Group, Mr. K.T. Lim, were in attendance at the opening ceremony of the new pier. Most of the cabinet ministers of the Bahama Islands were also present. Mr. Christie said that projects such as the development of Resorts World Bimini will lead to more economic development for Bahamians.[9] The opening of the pier is phase one of a comprehensive, three-phase development plan for North Bimini Island by Resorts World Bimini.[10] Also included in phase one is the opening of a temporary customs and immigration facility. Beginning in late 2014 phase two will be undertaken, which will include the construction of a permanent facility for customs and immigration. The final phase will begin during the summer of 2015, adding a restaurant, beach club, craft market and a variety of water sports.[11] Resorts World Bimini is also building a 307-room luxury hotel on Bimini, and has recently acquired 16.2 more acres of land next to the resort.[12] FeaturesResorts World Bimini has around 480 townhouses and villas, six restaurants, the largest marina in the Bahamas, and gambling facilities.[13] ConcernsThere have been protests against the resort by residents who have said that the projects lack transparency and are destructive to the environment.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|last1=Fox|first1=Ben|title=Global casino company aims to lure tourists to sleepy Bimini and not everyone is happy|url=http://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/09/18/global-casino-company-aims-to-lure-tourists-to-sleepy-bimini-and-not-everyone/|publisher=Fox News|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=September 18, 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=Resorts World Bimini Bahamas Resorts World|url=http://www.casinocareers.com/clientsb.php?OurClients_ID=1043|publisher=Casino Careers|accessdate=10 September 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|last1=WALKER|first1=ELAINE|title=Bahamas seeks Genting investment beyond Bimini|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/2012/06/29/2875141_bahamas-seeks-genting-investment.html|publisher=Miami Herald|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=2012-06-30|quote=Resorts World Bimini Bay, a joint venture between Genting Malaysia Berhad and RAV Bahamas.}} 4. ^{{cite web|last1=BRASS|first1=KEVIN|title=To Bimini, ‘SuperFast’ but Leisurely|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/19/travel/floating-casino-travels-to-bimini.html?_r=2|publisher=New York Times|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=18 March 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Local Genting’s Bimini Casino Ship Cleared For Sailing|url=http://miami.cbslocal.com/2013/07/16/gentings-bimini-casino-ship-cleared-for-sailing/|publisher=CBS Miami|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=16 July 2013}} 6. ^{{cite web|last1=Muñiz|first1=Andria C.|title=PortMiami welcomes a new passenger service resorts world Bimini SuperFast cruise ship|url=http://www.miamidade.gov/portmiami/press_releases/2013-07-03-resorts-world-bimini.asp|website=http://www.miamidade.gov/|publisher=Miami Dade County News Release|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=3 July 2013}} 7. ^{{cite web|last1=Lambert|first1=Marjie|title=Genting steps up its ferry service to Bimini|url=http://www.miamiherald.com/living/travel/cruises/article1988438.html|publisher=Miami Herald|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=4 September 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web|last1=Batchelor|first1=Amanda|title=Bimini SuperFast expands service from Port Everglades|url=http://www.local10.com/news/bimini-superfast-expands-service-from-port-everglades/27874270|publisher=Local 10|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=4 September 2014}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=More Jobs, More Opportunities, More Business and Development DELIVERED for Bahamians|url=http://bahamaspress.com/2014/09/22/more-jobs-more-opportunities-more-business-and-development-opens-for-bahamians/|publisher=Bahamas Press|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=22 September 2014}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=The Caribbean’s Newest Cruise Dock|url=http://www.caribjournal.com/2014/09/04/the-caribbeans-newest-cruise-dock/|publisher=Caribbean Journal|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=4 September 2014}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Satchell|first1=Arlene|title=Bimini gambling cruises to sail from Fort Lauderdale|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2014-09-07/business/fl-resorts-world-bimini-lauderdale-cruises-20140905_1_portmiami-port-everglades-balearia|publisher=Sun-Sentinel|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=7 September 2014}} 12. ^{{cite web|last1=DiPano|first1=Robert|title=Bimini’s New Cruise Ship Pier Opens|url=http://www.caribjournal.com/2014/09/19/biminis-new-cruise-ship-pier-opens/|accessdate=31 December 2014|date=19 September 2014}} 13. ^{{cite web|last1=Nagle Myers|first1=Gay|title=Bimini Bay casino opens, launches ferry service from Florida|url=http://www.travelweekly.com/Caribbean-Travel/Bimini-Bay-casino-opens-and-launches-ferry-service-from-Florida/|publisher=Travel Weekly|accessdate=10 September 2014|date=July 2, 2013}} 14. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.tribune242.com/news/2017/jul/11/resorts-world-targeted-by-environment-protest/?news|title=Resorts World targeted by environment protest|last=Rashad Rolle|first=|date=11 July 2017|work=|access-date=2017-11-20|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|language=en}} 4 : Companies based in Miami|Resorts in the Bahamas|Casinos in the Bahamas|Bimini |
