Resorts World Sentosa to open initial phase in two weeks

The first part, specifically four hotels, of Genting Singapore's casino resort will be open on 20 January 2010, three months ahead of its rival's target.

As reported by Reuters, Resorts World Sentosa will commence phased opening with four hotels as Genting has yet to announce the start date for the casino. Genting did not provide an estimated start date as it awaits the licence from Singapore's Casino Regulatory Authority. The completed application package for the licence was submitted last December and is expected to be processed in more than three months.

The $4.4 billion project is one of two casino resorts being built in Singapore to double visitor arrivals to 17 million in five years. The other casino resort, Marina Bay Sands of Las Vegas Sands, is planned to be open in April.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
