SINGAPORE — Marina Bay Sands, Singapore’s iconic casino, hotel and events complex, broke ground Tuesday on its $8 billion expansion, as the country looks to reinforce its position as a global tourism and entertainment hub.
Scheduled to open in 2031 pending regulatory approval, the expansion for the so-called integrated resort includes a 55-story hotel tower with 570 luxury rooms, premium casino spaces and a 15,000-seat arena for concerts and events. It also features a multilevel rooftop structure with pools and an observatory at 245 meters above ground.
