Las Vegas Sands has officially broken ground on its $8bn resort and entertainment project in Singapore, set to feature a 570-suite hotel tower, 200,000 sq ft of meeting space and a purpose-built 15,000-seat arena for live entertainment.
“With its opening in 2010, our Founder Sheldon G. Adelson embarked on a journey in Singapore with Marina Bay Sands and the people of Singapore that promised to change the face of tourism in the region. Fifteen years later, we have delivered on these ambitions and more,” Las Vegas Sands Chairman and CEO Robert Goldstein said.
“It has been truly incredible to witness Mr. Adelson’s vision come to life, and we are proud to carry his legacy forward with today’s groundbreaking ceremony for our new development here. We have every intention of delivering a product that will be the envy of the hospitality industry and ushers in a new era of luxury tourism in Singapore.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was officiated by Singapore’s Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong as well as the country’s Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu.
Las Vegas Sands executives on hand included Goldstein, Co-Founder Dr. Miriam Adelson and President and COO Patrick Dumont.
Good to know: Goldstein will transition to a Senior Advisor role on March 1, 2026, where he is set to assist management with its government relations activities, new physical development opportunities and gaming strategies
“Over the years, Marina Bay Sands has been integral in strengthening Singapore’s position as a major tourism powerhouse. By the time our new ultra-luxury development is complete, Las Vegas Sands will have invested more than $15bn since we started operations in Singapore in 2010. This speaks volumes of our confidence in this region, and the potential that we continue to see in Singapore,” Dumont said.
“We are privileged to have benefited over the past 15 years from factors that make Singapore great – excellent infrastructure, and a strong and supportive government with a forward-looking vision. Our new development will raise the bar and redefine the ultra-luxury hospitality realm on a global scale, fuelling further growth of high-value tourism while our state-of-art arena will attract the world’s most popular performers and usher in a new era of live entertainment in the region.”
In line with Marina Bay Sands’ global strategy Sands ECO360, sustainability will reportedly remain “at the heart” of the new property’s architecture and operations.
