GGRAsia reported that the expansion plan is all part of commitments Las Vegas Sands and local rival Genting Malaysia Berhad, which runs the nearby Resorts World Sentosa venue, made to the government of Singapore in April in order to have the jurisdiction's current casino duopoly extended until 2030. Although the envisioned Marina Bay Sands extension is not set to feature any more space for gaming, Goldstein purportedly noted that his firm was already pressing ahead with changes to the facility's existing mass-market casino floor and intends to open new high-roller services on its second and third floors by the end of 2021.
