Marina Bay Sands is an integrated
resort fronting Marina
Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las
Vegas Sands, it is billed as the
world's most expensive standalone
casino property at S$8
billion, including cost of the prime
land.

9. Connection to MBS
The MBS has boosted the economy,
it is expected to profit an addition of
$2.7 billion or 0.8% to Singapore's
Gross Domestic Product by 2015,
employing 10,000 people directly
and 20,000 jobs being created in
other industries.
10. This shows the foresight PM LEE
HSIEN LONG had when he thought
of the idea of having a Integrated
resort.
11. Sands' design is superior to other
bids in terms of pedestrian
circulation and layout, and it also fit
in with the Marina Bay landscape
best. Hotel towers was set back from
the waterfront to open up expansive
views of the city and the entire
Marina Bay, making the skyline for
Singapore's downtown more
attractive and distinctive
12. Thus, it increases Singapore’s
tourism appeal. This also shows how
the Singapore government is
anticipating change and staying
relevant globally by staying
competitive to other countries.
13. However, the idea was rejected by a
minority of Singaporeans for fear of
gambling addictions and other
problems leading to social unrest.
The government continued with the
idea and showed how they thought
for Singapore and not only doing
ideas that were popular among the
people.
