Las Vegas based entertainment architectural firm Steelman Partners has signed an agreement with Vietnam’s Khang Thong Group to be the designer and architect for the five-star Happyland Hotel in Vietnam.
The 999-room hotel will feature a casino and VIP, Presidential and Super Suites as well as standard guest rooms.
Steelman Partners is also the designer of the master plan for the Happyland Theme Park and Happyland Central retail district. The planned entertainment city will include the theme park, retail, dining, entertainment, several lodging options and a section for residential development – located on a prime riverside location in Thanh Duc, Ben Luc, Long An.
“Happyland is going to be a huge financial success,” said Steelman Partners’ CEO, Paul Steelman. “You’ve got pent up demand for entertainment offerings in Vietnam, plus a friendly government that’s interested in tourism.”
The $600 million (USD) Happyland Entertainment City, projected to open in 2014, is positioned to be Southeast Asia’s greatest tourist attraction, serving the recreational and entertainment needs of both domestic residents and foreign tourists. Projections are that Happyland could receive around 14 million visitors a year and generate jobs for about 10,000 people in the province.
