Integrated Resorts Hit Jackpot

Resorts World Senstosa posted 2nd quarter revenue of approximately USD$625 million. This dominoed as the hotels located within the destination resorts achieved average room rates close to USD190; and Universal Studios Singapore posting 8,000 daily visitors through the turnstiles.

Back of a recent trip I took to Resorts World, there were large numbers of Thai visitors who were on hand to shop, eat, drink and play the games of chance.
