First Sentosa, now Genting wants Las Vegas

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.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
