“This is not an extension of MBS,” says Goldstein. “This is a brand-new building with a brand-new identity, a mystique. It’s its own creation, its own venture and something far different than what MBS has become.”
Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has broken ground on a new US$8 billion ($10.27 billion) ultra-luxury resort beside Marina Bay Sands (MBS), launching what Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong calls “the next chapter for Marina Bay” and a key development in Singapore’s long-term urban and tourism ambitions.
The groundbreaking, held on July 15, was officiated by Wong, along with Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu; Las Vegas Sands co-founder Miriam Adelson; chairman and CEO Robert Goldstein; and president and COO Patrick Dumont.
