Singapore Marina Bay Sands IR threatened by Subprime Crisis

Las Vegas Sands' share price fell a jaw-dropping 90 over pecent, from a 52-week high of US$144.15 to Tuesday’s price of US$12.43, on concerns about a slowdown at its US operations, profitability of its Macau casinos and high gearing. Doubts have been raised about the health of Las Vegas Sands and more importantly, for Singapore, its impact on the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort (IR) that is scheduled for completion end of next year.

In the worst-case scenario, if US Las Vegas goes bankrupt, Marina Bay Sands IR in Singapore is unlikely to escape unscathed, said market observers.

In the extreme scenario, if the parent company is liquidated, Marina Bay Sands IR needs to find a buyer for its stake in the subsidiary, which could affect the construction schedule, he said.
