"After months of speculation, construction delays, rumors of financial woes and an eleventh hour casino license approval, Las Vegas Sands Corp threw open the doors to Singapore's US$5.5 billion second casino resort project. At the 'fengshui-approved' time of 3.18pm on April 27, Marina Bay Sands (MBS) officially welcomed its first guests with billionaire Las Vegas Sands chairman and CEO Sheldon Adelson snipping the customary red ribbon.
Much like its Resorts World Sentosa counterpart, Marina Bay Sands is the second of the two 'integrated resorts' approved for operation by the Singapore authorities back in December 2006. It's not fully open for the moment (only Phase One which includes 963 rooms and the all important casino) and the grand opening is scheduled for June 23. This will see the debut of the much-lauded 60-story building-spanning SkyPark and the full complement of retail and dining stores. Currently, much of the resort is still under construction, including the main Sands Expo and Convention Center which will host the largest meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions, or MICE, facility in Singapore. It will also include the largest ballroom in Southeast Asia.
