Las Vegas Sands broke ground Tuesday on a new $8 billion luxury resort in Singapore that will stand as a separate tower next to Marina Bay Sands, according to CNBC. The project includes 570 suites, high-end retail, gaming, and 200,000 square feet of meeting space. The rooftop “Skyloop” will offer gardens, an observation deck, and infinity-edge pools. A 15,000-seat arena, designed by the team behind the Las Vegas Sphere, will anchor the base. CEO Robert Goldstein emphasized that the development is not an extension of Marina Bay Sands but a new property with a distinct identity. The project aligns with Singapore’s “Tourism 2040” plan to triple revenue from business and leisure travelers.
