Singapore Set to Overtake Vegas as World's Second Largest Gaming Destination
Singapore had no major casinos and zero gaming tourism 12 months ago. A year
later, the island nation is about to pass Las Vegas in gaming revenue. Two
mega-resorts, Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, opened in
Singapore last year and were instant cash cows. The success of Marina Bay
Sands was a significant factor in stopping the stock slide of its owner, Las
Vegas Sands Inc.
The two massive Singapore properties generated a combined gross gaming
revenue of $5.1 billion in 2010. Royal Bank of Scotland predicts a 25-
percent increase in revenue, forecasting 2011 earnings of $6.4 billion. Las
Vegas is only predicted to bring in $6.2 billion, which would put Singapore
in second place behind Macau.
Marina Bay Sands, which has 500 gaming tables, saw more than 11 million
visitors in a year. Close to 900,000 visited during the four days of the
Chinese New Year alone. Resorts World Sentosa, owned by the Genting Group,
had similar success, so much so that it caused a drop in tourists traveling
to Genting's flagship property in Malaysia.
The Singapore government insisted that the gaming properties charge a 100-
Singapore-dollar entrance fee to residents of Singapore to deter them from
gambling and minimize the incidence of gambling addition among locals. The
fee hasn't kept locals from frequenting the casinos, however. They made up
60 percent of gaming patrons in 2010. Some gaming analysts are concerned
that future growth of the casinos will be hampered as the government
increases entry barriers for locals.
Despite the possibility of policy changes, most analysts are confident that
Singapore will overtake Las Vegas in 2011" | s*********k

发帖数: 15860 | 3 seattle had a big debate a few weeks ago too. they already have 6 casinos
and someone wants to build even more.
guess recent asian immigrants play a big role.
anyway, a few casinos are good for fun but casinos everywhere are too much.
