A ruthless European Gang with a lot of money to process decide to invest on the construction of a series of casinos, well away from known and organized centres which can be easily scrutinised by the authorities. The idea is on the same lines as the original famous Las Vegas, but this time carried out in the awe inspiring scenery of an area of a country in the Middle East, a country known as the jewel of the Middle East. The area chosen by the gang has some unexpected surprises, unknown to the gang when they embark on their project.

Las Vegas in Singapore looks at the collision of the histories of Singapore and Las Vegas in the form of Marina Bay Sands, one of Singapore's two integrated resorts. The first history begins in colonial Singapore in the 1880s, when British administrators revised gambling laws in response to the political threat posed by Chinese-run gambling syndicates. Following the tracks of these punitive laws and practices, the book moves into the 1960s when the newly independent city-state created a national lottery while criminalizing both organized and petty gambling in the name of nation-building. The second history shifts the focus to corporate Las Vegas in the 1950s when digital technology and corporate management practices found each other on the casino floor. Tracing the emergence of the specialist casino designer, the book reveals how casino development evolved into a highly rationalized spatial template designed to maximize profits. Today an iconic landmark of Singapore, Marina Bay Sands is also an artifact of these two histories, an attempt by Singapore to normalize what was once criminalized in its nationalist history. Lee Kah-Wee argues that the historical project of the control of vice is also about the control of space and capital. The result is an uneven landscape where the legal and moral status of gambling is contingent on where it is located. As the current wave of casino expansion spreads across Asia, he warns that these developments should not be seen as liberalization but instead as a continuation of the project of concentrating power by modern states and corporations.

Master's Thesis from the year 2013 in the subject Business economics - Miscellaneous, grade: B, University of Wolverhampton, course: MBA, language: English, abstract: In 2005, the Singapore government announced to their citizens a proposal to have two casinos in Singapore as part of a project to build two Integrated Resorts with reasons given that the country was losing its competitiveness in the tourism industry and that the country needed to reinvent itself in order to revitalise the economy. Though there were initial objections from within the parliament members as well as some community and religious groups, the controversial project was eventually given the go ahead and in 2010, the two Integrated Resorts with the two casinos were opened, bringing in tourism receipts in the first quarter of 2011 with a jump of more than 35% from 2010. Visitor arrivals rose by almost 16% with sightseeing and entertainment (includes casino gaming) more than tripled. Using a combination of primary and secondary data as well as exploratory, descriptive and causal research methodologies, this dissertation paper examines Singaporean's perceptions of casino gambling as a tool of economic and tourism development and the government's role in shaping the future of the casino industry in Singapore. In particular, the paper examines whether residents perceive what the Singapore government has promised, that casinos will revitalize their communities by rejuvenating the local economic development, attracting new industries and stimulating tourism growth, or whether the impact has been more negative, resulting in more social repercussions and crimes than the benefits it is supposed to be bringing in. In short, from the Singaporean's perspective, are the casinos taking more out of the community than they contribute to it?

As governments increasingly legalize and expand the availability of casinos, hoping to offset the impacts of manufacturing decline through the advancement of gambling commerce, this book examines what casinos do—and do not do—for host communities in terms of economic growth. Examining the case generally made by those seeking to establish casino developments—that they offer benefits for the "public good"—the author draws on a case study of Canada’s automotive capital (Windsor, Ontario), which was a pilot site for potential further casino development in the region. The author asks whether casinos do, in fact, offer good jobs, revenue generation, and economic diversification. A study of the benefits of casino developments that considers the question of whether they constitute a ready answer to the problems of industrial and economic decline, this volume will appeal to scholars of sociology and urban studies, with interests in the gambling industry, economic sociology, the sociology of work, and urban regeneration.
