SINGAPORE -- Casino resort operators Genting Singapore and Las Vegas Sands are racing to finish revamped and expanded resorts to attract guests after COVID-19 pandemic delays stalled plans by the gaming companies to grow in Singapore.

Genting, which manages Resorts World Sentosa south of the city-state, on Friday broke ground on a project to increase the floor space of its attractions by 50%, an investment that will cost it 6.8 billion Singapore dollars ($5 billion) over eight years.
