What should a world-class casino consist of
-
Singapore has the potential to build the world best casino by taking advantage of its excellent location provided it is properly regulated to discourage its own people from addiction to gambling.
Your views ?
For convenience, your suggestions on how to build a world-class casino will be formulated into an overall business master plan as listed below:
(1) Size
Whole Island of Sentosa + reclaimed land + floating casinos on stilts
(Malay villages) below which families can take a dip.
(2) Layout
Most user-friendly networking of all business travellers who will be
attracted live and work here and to stay longer here in view of overall
attraction of our facilities.
(3) Facility
7 bars, 6 restaurants, $18 car park per entry
24-hour amusement park, c/w ferris wheel (day-time museum
underwater world), any kinds of entertainment, licensed quality red-light
district, (transferring Orchard Road call-girls to Sentosa) integrated
cluster hotels laid in village formation to add personal touch, each known
by its own name, monorail, segway, bicycle, Banks, (easy loans),
bunnies to serve high rollers,
(4) Regulations
Total entertainment, relaxed rules to encourage all types of
entertainment set-up, protections of vulnerable against gambling
addictions, limiting entries of vulnerable persons, security measures
(robberies or thefts)
(5) Software
Good, cheap food, bazaar, huge hotdogs (like Las Vegas)
(6) (a) Network - Tourism
Link Sentosa to all regional tourism destinations to create tropical theme
travel package. (stand-alone will not be sufficient to create attractions).
Refine Sentosa's underwater world to attract whole family tours with
sharks and bikini-mermaids performing fearsome underwater acts
(6) (b) Network - Shopping
Showcasing products and services from fortune-500 and other world
companies through permanent conferences/ conventions connected
to world market.
(6) (c) Network - Financial Hub
Swiss-style banking facilities to serve new breed of global businessmen
who will be attracted by holistic communication and financial hub
to operate from Sentosa. Additionally, total facilities exist to enable
them to extend and maintain world contacts with various businesses,
hubs, HQ services, incentive fund placements through Singapore
business/financial hub.
It is in short not casino that Singapore is after but world market
which can be integrated to casino via conferences/convention
tourisms/financial services.
Many more hubs serving petro-chemical, bio-tech, bio-medical, medical,
electronics, automation, equipment, financial, banking, logistics and
telecoms. ..can then be enhanced or successfully created.
Casino will cause certain social risk. Such risk can be brought
under stringent control through proper regulations. Singapore should not
just build a casino but must aim at creating the world's best casino which
will turn it into a catalyst to create all integrated business hubs. Its
immediate clientele may be aimed at family, business travellers and rich
mobile tycoons who would have their home at nearby sentosa coves. Its
many indirect clientele will be many many business connections attracted
to our hubs by overall integrated business/communication facilities.
[More...under construction ..open to new ideas] -
It should have 7 bars and 5 exquisite restaurants within, just like the conrad treasury casino in brisbane.
One more thing, $18 per entry carpark, waived if you gambled a minimum amount. -
We shud make it in such a way where sentosa has everything that you want for entertainment and any kind of entertainment. Move the farris wheel there, even move the entire red light district from geylang to sentosa.
Entertainment should run 24hrs with all night parties in evenings, day time transform back to the usual stuff like museum, underwater world etc ...
This way day and night service crews can be engaged to work round the clock
Build villages where in each village is a casino. Clustered around each casino are hotels, pasar malam bazaars, food stalls, theme parks, discos, pubs.
But there should be no shopping centers at all, souvenir and DFS shops maybe but shopping centers leave it on the mainland.
Due to the size of the island, travelling from village to village is by either monorail, bicycle, or renting a segway. Attendants can be hired to collect , replenish bicycles, segways at different points etc ..
Rules regarding entertainment on island should be relaxed.
Rename sentosa into sin~tosa
-
should have good cheap and huge hotdogs, like advertised in las vagas...

When 35% of your population becomes hopeless gambling addicts, 10% of the population requires IMH consulation for gambling related complusives, family violence cases rise by 300% due to gambling related cause, marriage divorce cases goes up by 150% from the cause and banruptcy numbers goes up by 500%, and crime rates increase by 50% after being TIRELESSLY suppressed and curbed down by the police, you will know that we have a world class casino in our very own backyard.

Very well said. *claps hands* actually you're no difference from the government who gives one sided views of the casino, except that you're full of exaggerated problems.

Okay.the casino itself should be a multi-entertainment resort. The casino should have cheap attractions, super dangerous rides, super cheap food, super cheap lodging. However, the casino room itself is restricted to a 10X10 metal container box. In this case, it is the father who goes to gamble while the other part of the family splurge on the cheapo attractions and so on. Wouldnt this plan work? Here, profit will start coming in due to tourists screaming cheap ah cheap ah. -
A world class casino consists of gamblers. So...
They need to have a bank who can lent the gamblers money to recoup their losses. Interest rate will be around 20% per month (quite low liao). No need to check whether the borrower is credit worthy since he will probably loses it to the casino. Need to have a new ruling that those who owns a certain amount cannot leave the country. Also need to change the ruling that if a person owns a casino, he is liable to repay it by law.
Can recruit singaporean school girls to be the bunny girls as the gamblers are touchy. Also need to hire more girls to be prostitutes so that the gambers have more entertainment or they will complain of the lack of it. Also need bouncers in case the gamblers try to rob.
Also need some ppl to peddle condoms secretly if not openly, to help prevents the spread of aids.
Since this is a world class casino n a world class event, I suggest our PM can go for the opening ceremony. Then he can also play a few games to start off. He can lead by example by putting a few millions dollars as chips. Remember to wear white shirt and pants lor.
Plus ST cannot report on suicides or broken familes because it is not conclusive that they are a result of gambling. Only wholesome stories are allowed, e.g how the tourists (we know they are gamblers) enjoy their stay in sentosa.
For this money-making business, our gahment deserves another round of pay increase, if not bonus. They truly deserves it. Also not to forget the loyal civil servants lor. Congrates. -

Nobody can fully predict or quantify on negative social effects that will be created should the casino idea gets through.Originally posted by yeebas:Very well said. *claps hands* actually you're no difference from the government who gives one sided views of the casino, except that you're full of exaggerated problems.

Let's just say mine is a prudent estimate. -
While it is true that nobody can fully predict or quantify negative social effects from casino, there is a possibility of neutralizing these effect by appropriate regulations and elevating casino to a catalyst of economic re-structuring.Originally posted by [ Neo ]:Nobody can fully predict or quantify on negative social effects that will be created should the casino idea gets through.
