Quoted from http://news.omy.sg/News/Local%2BNews/Story...041-117638.html

 

INTEGRATED resort Resorts World Sentosa will begin opening on Jan 20, starting with four of its six hotels.

 

On that day, the four hotels Festive Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel Singapore, Crockfords Towers and Hotel Michael [/size]will open their doors to the public, the resort said in a statement yesterday.

 

The hotels will offer a combined total of 1,350 rooms and 10 restaurants. They will begin accepting room and restaurant reservations from 10am next Monday, through a hotline on 6577-8899.

 

From yesterday until the official opening, a dry run is being held at two of the hotels, with the resort's employees and their families staying there. But even before this, some concertgoers have already set foot in the US$4.4-billion (S$6.1-billion) resort.

 

Its 1,600-seat Festive Grand Theatre hosted Singapore Press Holdings' series of ChildAid charity concerts over three nights last month, despite not being officially open yet.

 

Universal Studios will be the next to open, and the resort is working with the authorities to obtain approvals for this, the resort said yesterday.

 

It will announce the opening date for the casino, when it receives notice of its casino licence, it added.

 

The Casino Regulatory Authority told Reuters that Genting submitted its application for a casino licence last month. Such applications typically take more than three months to process, as they involve vetting casino owners and managers, casino-industry officials told Reuters.

 

The resort said yesterday that on top of the four hotels, Universal Studios, the casino, the Festive Grand theatre, the Compass Ballroom and 26 function rooms are expected to be open early this year, in the first phase of its opening.

 

The resort's remaining two hotels Equarius Hotel and Spa Villas with another 500 rooms, will be launched after this year, under the second phase.

 

Also to be opened in the second phase are the Marine Life Park, the Maritime Experiential Museum and a spa. The other integrated resort, the US$5.5-billion Marina Bay Sands, run by Las Vegas Sands, is expected to open in phases in April.

Anyone applied job to work in the hotels? Or working in the casion or universal studio?

 

 

I have a friend working in the retail industry there. She mentioned selling some sort of mascots for Resort World and other things like soft toys/games/house products which we normally see in Genting. But till now quite secretive coz I think they wana create the hype over it. <_<

 

Hope its something different and not the usual (and lame) events and things that we see when we go up north, except for the gambling. [laugh]

yalor yalor...but till now I think RWS still quite low profile in their operation than MBS having financial difficulties, have to retrench, close down some of their oversea casinos to inject more moolah here...

 

Wonder if the $100 entrance still stands?? ^_^
