W.A. Richardson Builders

W.A. Richardson Builders is a Las Vegas construction manager whose principals have built some of the Strip’s biggest resorts. Formed in 2006, the firm specializes in casino-resort and hospitality construction, from ground-up integrated resorts to FF&E procurement and installation. It served as construction manager on the completion of Fontainebleau Las Vegas, the 67-story tower that opened in 2023 after a 16-year saga, and its leaders previously built Mandalay Bay and Monte Carlo. That resort experience is the firm’s calling card in a market where hotel-casino work runs on its own rules. W.A. Richardson keeps a lean senior team and scales up trades as projects demand.

W.A. Richardson Builders is a Las Vegas construction firm established in 2006 and built around a specialty most contractors never touch: casino resorts. The company offers general contracting, construction management, construction consulting, and furniture, fixtures and equipment purchasing and installation, with its traditional focus on the gaming and hospitality industry.

The firm’s leadership carries deep Strip experience. Its principals have decades of history constructing large-scale Las Vegas projects, and the company’s name appears on major hospitality work including Mandalay Bay, Monte Carlo, The Linq and The Cromwell, along with renovations and expansions at properties such as Luxor and Circus Circus.

Its most prominent assignment was construction manager for Resorts World, the first ground-up integrated resort built on the Las Vegas Strip in more than a decade — an 87-acre development where Richardson oversaw all aspects of construction. Work at that scale demands tight coordination of hundreds of trades and a builder fluent in the specific demands of casino, hotel and entertainment space.

While rooted in Las Vegas, the firm advises on hospitality and entertainment projects nationally and internationally. Because some public listing details for this company could not be independently confirmed, anyone reaching out should verify current contact information directly before engaging.
