The Sands Singapore integrated resort, if it happens, will have a Garden City theme, building on the city state´s reputation. The world famous Guggenheim art museum may also be part of the resort, to drive what Mr Weidner calls Singapore´s "cultural tourism".

Singapore as a mature market so the approach to our integrated resort in Singapore is how to energise Singapore, how to synergise Singapore. Sands Casino approach will be to target the 2 to 3 percent of the people who are more sophisticated, who will appreciate a visit to Singapore. According to Sands Casino, the casino resort will attract more people to Singapore and benefit other businesses, including hotels and taxi drivers.
