Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has entered the final phase of design and programme enhancements for its multi-billion-dollar expansion, with full-scale construction of the project (subject to planning approval) anticipated to begin by July 2025 with a targeted completion by July 2029.
The expansion will include a luxury hotel tower with a sky roof, a 15,000-seat entertainment arena and additional premium MICE space, as well as new F&B and nightlife offerings.

MBS’ expansion will play an important role in driving additional inbound travel to Singapore – the new arena will help attract top entertainers from Asia and around the world who previously may not have included South-east Asia on their tours, while the additional MICE space will help attract more new-to-Singapore events.
The project is separate from a US$1.75 billion reinvestment in the existing property. The largest reinvestment since MBS’ opening in 2010, it has already seen the complete refurbishment of Hotel Towers 1 and 2, in addition to new dining offerings and luxury lifestyle amenities for high-value travellers.
Refurbishment work is now focusing on Hotel Tower 3, in addition to the Hotel Lobby and Sands SkyPark, which will include a reimagined VIP arrival experience, new premium dining and retail offerings, lobby transformation and renewed focus on wellness experiences for guests.
“With the ongoing support of the Singapore Government, this development will further enhance the leisure and business tourism appeal of Singapore. It optimises the site’s programming elements and is designed to drive high-value tourism growth to Singapore,” said Patrick Dumont, president and COO of MBS’ parent company, Las Vegas Sands.
“This significant investment in Singapore will help ensure Marina Bay Sands is ideally positioned to grow its economic, employment and visitorship contributions in the years ahead.”
