VAI Resort, the long-awaited massive hospitality project under construction in Glendale, is approaching several construction milestones, even as the complex development is still months – or even a year – away from opening.

Even as construction continues at the multifaceted resort, VAI’s development team continues to add new elements to the project.

When completed, VAI is expected to have 1,100 rooms across multiple towers, 11 restaurants, an 11,000-seat amphitheater, large pool area, conference center and the Mattel Adventure Park with multiple roller coasters and other attractions.

VAI’s ownership recently released a new rendering of the project (which is displayed atop this article). The rendering, created by Jonathan Arnold at Arnold Imaging, shows the entirety of the project across the resort’s 60 acres, south of State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
