The Marina Bay Sands (Chinese: 滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城) is Singapore's first casino, being developed by one of the world's biggest gambling companies, Las Vegas Sands, at Marina South in central Singapore. Completion of the Integrated Resort is expected for 2009.
Las Vegas Sands has committed to invest S$3.85 billion in the project, not including the fixed $1.2 billion cost of the 6,000,000 square feet (560,000 m2) site itself, which by most estimates will make it the most expensive casino in the world. [1] In addition to the casino, other key components of the plan are three hotel towers with 2,500 rooms, a 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) arts and sciences museum and a convention centre with 1,200,000 square feet (111,000 m2) of space, capable of accommodating over 52,000 people. The resort, inspired by card decks, was designed by Moshe Safdie. The company has promised to create 10,400 jobs for the project, 75 percent of them reserved for Singaporeans.
