Rogie. Its funny, I am an Asianophile, thats probably not a word yet like Anglophile is, and I love reading about asian life,,culture,gambling nightlife. etc.

Singapore's casinos have absolutely taken off, here is a short article on Singapore and gaming. I hope you don' t leave us though, The US is just jockeying for position with gaming revenues. Right now is down cycle for American culture but its still such an entrepreneurial culture here ,especially in the online and tech world.

So many opportunities here for start ups , if you can just wait for the dreary American culture to turn around, the opportunities to start a business here are incredible.

But I do share your love of Asia

here is the article on singapore

"Singapore is poised to pass Las Vegas in gaming revenue this year, meaning that the former world gambling capital could drop to No. 3.
Singapore now is poised to pass Vegas in gaming revenue.


The current top gaming destination is Asia's Macau. Singapore has only two 1-year-old casino resorts — the Marina Bay Sands and Resort World Sentosa — but they are large complexes that attract Asian high rollers.

The American Gaming Association says Macau racked up $23.5 billion last year, followed by Vegas with $5.8 billion. Singapore logged $5.1 billion, but may take in a projected $6.4 billion this year and beat Sin City (a projected $6.2 billion).

Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority CEO Rossi Ralenkotter counters that the city has diversified in recent years: "Tourism generates more than $37 billion annually for the local economy, and less than 30 percent represents gaming."

Vegas kingpin Steve Wynn, who already is in Macau, just told Reuters wire service he wants to get into the action in Singapore, which is a booming city in many ways and also had a record year for tourism last year. But the story said local laws won't permit new casinos until 2017.

Have any readers been to the Singapore casinos? The Marina Bay Sands, from Vegas' Sheldon Adelson (The Venetian and Palazzo) has already gotten lots of attention for its skyscraper rooftop infinity-edged swimming pool)."
 
Gregory the Malaysian company that owns one of the two Singapore casinos just bought a piece of downtown Miami ocean front property for a future site of a casino. It was record breaking real estate price. They are going to lobby the politicos for gaming with sands and mgm. But they said it's a long term strategy, they are looking at it from a 20 years perspective.
