Genting Chairman Lim Kok Thay said they are actively looking at the U.S., with the Singapore project being the model for future investments.

"We see great opportunities," said Lim, who inaugurated the country's first casino following the ban lift in 2005.

Meanwhile Tan Hee Teck, chief executive officer for Resorts World, expects the S$6.6 billion ($4.7 billion) complex to draw 13 million visitors. Aside from the casino, Resorts World Sentosa also features the Universal Studios theme park which has been opened for a week-long sneak peek.
