Marina Bay Sands expansion delayed further

The project was originally slated to be completed by 2029.


Singapore.- Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has announced in its annual report that Marina Bay Sands’s (MBS) expansion will now be completed by June 2030 with an anticipated opening date in January 2031. That would mean a delay from the previous target completion date of July 8, 2029. The extension of the completion date will need the approval of the Singapore government.

In January, LVS agreed to pay US$1bn to Singaporean authorities after entering into an agreement with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB) for changes to the project. The company said it aimed to increase the overall gaming area allocation for the expansion project, among other amendments.

The expansion plan was initially announced in 2019. It was set to include a hotel tower with luxury rooms and suites, a rooftop attraction, premium gaming areas, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with approximately 15,000 seats.
