LVS grants a further year for Marina Bay Sands development 

Las Vegas Sands (LVS) has said its planned Marina Bay Sands unit in Singapore has been granted a one-year extension before construction must begin.  

The integrated resort operator has said the Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Tourism Board have amended the development agreement to begin construction on 8 April 2023.  

The move comes after cases of Covid-19 continue to linger in Southeast Asia. 

The expansion project is forecasted to cost up to $4.5bn and will focus on expanding non-gaming attractions at the resort, to drive up revenue from the gaming floor and slot machines.
