The Marina Bay Sands (Chinese: 滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城) is the tentative name for an Integrated Resort being developed by Las Vegas Sands at Marina South, Singapore. The complex is expected to be completed in 2009 and will contain Singapore's first casino.

Las Vegas Sands has committed to invest S$3.85 billion in the project, not including the fixed $1.2 billion cost of the 20.6-hectare site itself, which by most estimates will make it the most expensive casino in the world. [1] In addition to the casino, other key components of the plan are three hotel towers with 2,500 rooms, a 200,000-square foot arts and sciences museum and a convention centre with 1.2 million square feet of space, capable of accommodating over 52,000 people. The resort, inspired by card decks, was designed by Moshe Safdie. The company has promised to create 10,400 jobs for the project, 75 percent of them reserved for Singaporeans.
