    RESORTS World Sentosa (RWS) broke ground on Nov 15 for a major new waterfront development that will include hotels, more retail and dining offerings and even an “immersive, experiential mountain trail”.

    The development is the centrepiece of the integrated resort’s (IR) so-called “RWS 2.0” expansion plan, which could drive its growth for the next several years.

    Fittingly, just three days after the ground-breaking event, Genting Singapore announced that the Gambling Regulatory Authority (GRA) had renewed RWS’ casino licence for another two years, starting from Feb 6, 2025.
