It seems that opening on a New Year, a Chinese New Year, that is, was a good step for the first casino launched in Singapore. Today, Resorts World Sentosa can boast of the fact that their opening has earned them a hefty forty million dollars during its first two days alone, and, in truth, it was the Malaysians who accounted for one–third of its huge revenue.

The Opening Day

It is without a doubt that the launching of the Resorts World Sentosa has attracted a lot of people with money, among these are Asian millionaires and business tycoons from China. Millionaires coming from Hong Kong as well as Taiwan were also present in the opening of the Resorts World Sentosa.

It can be said that the opening of the first casino in Singapore were attended by a lot of people with deep pockets, some of them coming in via their private jets and trendy sports cars. Some of these people are also regular clients of popular and known casinos across the globe, and, in fact, a number of these guests also commented that they had first thought of going to Las Vegas but had opted to go to Singapore instead. Aside from people with money though, locals as well as foreigners also flocked to the casino to enjoy themselves and to try their hands at winning some cash.

Truth to tell, it was a sight to see limousines and trendy cars all lining up, valets opening doors to glamorous people decked in stunning clothes, and the flashes of cameras as they capture the moment of Resorts World Sentosa's opening.

Many of the guests and visitors of Resorts World Sentosa, especially those who have the money to burn, stayed all through the night and left only when the sun came up and the casino closed for the day.

The Next Las Vegas?

Resorts World Sentosa may have earned a big forty million dollars on its first two days, but experts know that this is just the beginning. More is expected the coming days, especially since Asian casinos are now becoming a big trend in the casino industry.

Asian casinos are on the rise right now as more and more people are traveling to this side of the world to gamble and enjoy themselves, and with the casino industry of the United States of America on the low side, who knows, Asia may be the next Las Vegas.
