Construction has begun at Resorts World Las Vegas in preparation for the upcoming Enhanced Games, which will take place on May 24th.
The Enhanced Games shared an Instagram post celebrating the early stages of construction of the brand-new complex, which will host 2,500 in-person fans for swimming, track, and weightlifting events.
The $20 million complex will also house 16 luxury boxes, a VIP lounge, a Red Carpet walk, and a musical performance area where rock group The Killers will be performing.
The arena will be able to house all of the events under one roof, with a built-in pool, track, and weightlifting area, making it a one-size-fits-all for sporting arenas.
The full render of the build was posted on Instagram back in December.
The full list of Enhanced games athletes stands at 41, with swimmers accounting for 17, including three American swimmers.
Full List of Enhanced Games Athletes:
As for the aquatic events taking place in Las Vegas, four swimming races were initially announced, the 50 free, 100 free, 50 fly, and 100 fly, but the field of competitors has since been expanded to include several breaststrokers, implying an expanded competition field as well.
If a swimmer in the 50 free swims under the current World Record, recently set by Cam McEvoy at the China Open of 20.88 (which is faster than what Gkolomeev swam in February of 2025 as an enhanced athlete in 20.89), they will receive a $1 million bonus. All other World Records that are broken will receive $250,000.
In a report from CNBC, the Enhanced Games stock will go public on Friday, in that interview, co-founder Christian Angermayer even stated that the Enhanced Games are doing the “first ever-clinical study on performance enhancing drugs”, and with some athletes being non-enhanced, it creates a “control group”, with an optimistic goal of showing “the world the most scientific information they have ever had”.
