A cutting-edge amphitheater boasting the latest in new technology is slated to be a part of the growing $1 billion VAI Resort in Glendale, Arizona.
Plans for the construction of what has been described as the largest hotel and entertainment destination of its kind in Arizona, located at 9505 Cardinals Way, were announced in the spring of last year.
Spread out over 60 acres, the VAI Resort upon completion will include up to 1,200 hotel rooms and suites, as well as well as some 13 “elevated fine dining concepts,” and white sand beaches.
Focal point of the project has always been an island populated with an aerial bar, private cabanas, and restaurant, among other features.
The VAI concept from the start has been to create a kind of tropical resort oasis in the middle of the desert, with an endless variety of offerings worthy of the expected $500 a day price of admission.
Now added to those offerings is an amphitheater with an 8,000-seat capacity that, according to HNR Hotel News, “will showcase a wide range of entertainment, from A-list touring acts to up-and-coming talent and comedy superstars.”
The amphitheater is set for completion next year, with 2024 also expected to see the opening of the resort itself.
The project belongs to VAI Global Development, which is owned by Tommy Fisher and Grant Fisher, both of whom are the heads of the Tempe-based Fisher Industries.
