VAI Resort is a verified $1B+ physical hospitality development in Glendale, AZ, currently under construction with an expected opening in late 2025/2026. However, the submission is of extremely low quality and contains critical inaccuracies. The claim 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false as the resort is not yet open to the public. The claimed 'market cap' of $75M conflicts with the actual estimated project cost (~$1B) and likely stems from confusion with unrelated crypto assets or data entry error. As a physical real estate project submitted to a technology evaluation framework, it lacks relevant technical innovation, and the pre-launch status results in zero verifiable user traction.
