SINGAPORE-Eighth Wonder says it will build the world’s “most talked about resort” if it wins a casino license in Singapore. Bids close on the Oct. 10 and most of the world’s biggest casino-resort developers are expected to submit proposals.

“What we will be unveiling to the world is not just something that is going to be a local or a regional destination,” Eighth Wonder chairman Mark Advent says. “It is absolutely going to attract tourists all around the world…it will be in my prediction the most talked about resort destination in the history of the world.”

The privately held Las Vegas-based casino developer has already undertaken lengthy study missions to Sentosa island, where the project will be built, Advent says. Four other firms have also expressed interest in the Sentosa bid. Advent declined to unveil details of his company’s proposal but promised the gaming resort will have the “wow factor” if Eighth Wonder wins. He says details will be made known to the government on Oct. 10.
