There are a few prestigious hotels operating there like the Ritz Charlton Millennium, Oriental Hotel, Marina Mandarin and the Pan Pacific Hotel. It has a panoramic view of the seas and boasts a very peaceful environment. However, The Government of Singapore wanted to expand the area and requested for a concept in December 2004. An overwhelming response from the industry totalling to 19 bids were submitted during the request for concept, both by local and foreign investors. In the formal bidding process, 4 consortiums submitted their project proposals:- (i) MGM Mirage/Capital Land, (ii) Harrah’s Entertainment/ Keppel Land, (iii) Las Vegas Sands and (iv) Genting International/Star Cruises.
