Las Vegas Sands is doubling down on its Singapore bet with a new $8 billion integrated resort, expanding its existing Marina Bay Sands casino complex in the Southeast Asian country.
The U.S. casino operator broke ground on the site on Tuesday in a ceremony attended by CEO Robert Goldstein and Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. The project will feature a 55-storey hotel tower which will include other facilities like luxury boutiques, a casino, and a 15,000-seat arena.
