Company Confident Casino Will Attract Tourists
The head of the Las Vegas Sands Corp. said Tuesday the $3.6 billion casino resort project it recently won the license to build in Singapore would make the Southeast Asian nation a key conference and tourism destination.
President and CEO William Weidner said the Marina Bay Sands will be operating by 2009 and account for 1 percent of Singapore's annual gross domestic product.
He cited his company's integrated resort track record in Las Vegas -- where it owns The Venetian -- and its Asian footprint in Macao, where it operates the Sands Macao as key factors in their win of the hotly contested license, which was awarded Friday.
