It will Singapore the opportunity to have a business centre and a resort - a really city resort combination. Singapore can find a niche where you can be doing business in the daytime and within half an hour transform into a resort.

Once the government give the go-ahead for the project, architects say they hope to be part of the design team and contribute to what may well be the country´s next key landmark that will blend in with all the tall buildings in land-scarce Singapore.

US casino operator Harrah´s Entertainment revealed that it has hired Daniel Libeskind as the main architect. Australia´s Tabcorp has its trump card in Arata Isozaki, the architect best known for building the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles.
