SINGAPORE -- The government of Singapore said Wednesday it has agreed to a 9 billion Singapore dollar ($6.64 billion) build-out of its two integrated casino resorts.

The Marina Bay Sands, run by Las Vegas Sands, will build a 1,000-room luxury hotel. As the fourth high-rise on the premises, the hotel will consist entirely of suites. A 15,000-seat arena is also in the works.
