Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island off Singapore’s southern coast is among the world’s most luxurious resorts, boasting Universal Studios theme park, Adventure Cove Water Park and Marine Life Park with one of the world’s largest oceanariums.
City Center Las Vegas
City Center was designed as a self-contained city within a city on the Las Vegas Strip to take Las Vegas in a new direction and increase livability among a more diverse audience than typical mall developments could. Its developers envisioned it as creating an inclusive space without resorts and malls like its competitors could only do.
Apart from its glittering casino towers, this development includes two luxury condo buildings and two hotels: Mandarin Oriental and Vdara hotels are tailored toward high-end international buyers while Veer towers cater to owner occupants and second home owners.

City Center casino complex’s foundation consists of 3226 caissons that range in depth from 60-100 feet and 4 feet in diameter, connected by pile caps and grade beams in clusters. Engineers rely on skin friction between concrete and soil and caliche lenses as additional support systems.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands’ estimated $4 billion cost makes it one of the world’s most costly casino buildings, while also being home to a convention centre, shops, restaurants and an art and science museum.

This design enhances Marina Bay Sands’ connection to its city surroundings by providing directionality as well as public meeting places.
This project is also distinguished by a series of garden terraces that extend tropical scenery from marina to waterfront. Moshe Safdie also commissioned five international artists to create eight monumental public art installations at Marina Bay Sands; their works animate its architecture and public spaces such as James Carpenter, Antony Gormley and Ned Kahn among them.
