Singapore's First Casino Opening on Lunar New Year
The opening of the Resorts World Sentosa casino followed the launch in January of four premium hotels at the 4.4 billion US dollar complex built by Malaysian gaming giant Genting.
"Singapore's first integrated resort, Resorts World Sentosa, will begin the first day of the Tiger year with the soft-opening of its casino," Resorts World Sentosa said in a statement.
"The casino, the resort's much anticipated attraction, will have its first play at an auspicious hour with a private ceremony and welcome its first public guest at 12:18 pm."
A spokesman for the resort said that 12:18 when pronounced sounds like "striking prosperity" in Cantonese, which would bring good luck.
Resorts World chief executive Tan Hee Teck said the operator is still "fine-tuning the rides and shows" at the resort's Universal Studios theme park -- the first in Southeast Asia -- which is on track to open by next month.
However, visitors will get a sneak preview of the Universal Studios complex from February 14-21.
"In less that three years since the time we broke ground and commenced construction for Resorts World Sentosa, we have taken our vision from drawing board to reality," said Genting Group chairman Lim Kok Thay.
"This is a significant milestone in Singapore's business history."
A marine life park, a maritime museum, a spa and two more hotels will be launched at Resorts World Sentosa after 2010.
