Podcast appearances and mentions of Marina Bay Sands

Diese Folge ist kein Reisebericht. Sie ist eine Einladung – in ein Leben jenseits der Postkartenmotive. In dieser Episode der BEYOND BORDERS Reihe nehme ich dich mit auf eine ganz persönliche Reise: 7 Jahre Singapur – erzählt an 7 verschiedenen Orte, die mein Leben verändert haben. Jeder dieser Orte steht - auf ihre Art und Weise - für Stärke, strikte Regeln, Transformation, Wachstum, Klarheit, Mut, Identität, Vielfalt, Lebensqualität – und bewusste Entscheidungen. Es geht nicht darum, was ich erlebt habe – sondern was du für dich mitnehmen kannst, wenn du bereit bist, dich auf diese Reise nach Singapore einzulassen. ✨ In dieser Folge erfährst du: Warum ein einfaches Essen im Hawker Center dich mehr über Verbindung und Menschlichkeit lehrt als jedes Executive Board Meeting Wie Sentosa mir gezeigt hat, dass du dich nicht entscheiden musst zwischen Karriere und Lebensqualität Welche Frage ich mir über den Dächern von Marina Bay Sands gestellt habe – und wie sie mein Leben radikal verändert hat Warum Little India ein grandioser Lehrmeister darin ist, echte Vielfalt zu leben, nicht nur zu tolerieren Warum ich gerade im Botanischen Garten immer wieder Klarheit gefunden habe – über mein Business, mein Leben und meinen nächsten Schritt Warum Systeme wie in Singapur der Schlüssel für echtes Wachstum sind – und was du daraus für dein Unternehmen lernen kannst Und was der Changi Airport mir über Timing, Freiheit und bewusste Entscheidungen beigebracht hat – jedes Mal, wenn ich durch diese Türen ging

"Singapore is so much more than just a steamy stopover between flights. It's a sparkling melting pot of Southeast Asian culture, brimming with an ever-expanding arsenal of headline experiences. But alongside ticking off the likes of Gardens by the Bay and Marina Bay Sands, the Lion City's biggest roar is reserved for the sizzling street food scene spilling forth in the hawker centre. Singapore's harmonious multiculturalism and all its culinary influences positively sing on the plate. Come nightfall, Lau Pa Sat in downtown Singapore transforms into Satay Street, where a riot of meat on skewers and peanut sauce hold court." Read Mike's full article here.

Las Vegas Sands has been performing well despite the challenges presented by ongoing capital investment programs. Its solid quarterly results are indicative of an encouraging future. The strength of the performance is particularly notable in Macao and Singapore's Marina Bay Sands, the latter having reported an all-time record. Adding to its advantage, Las Vegas Sands is enhancing the quality and scale of its assets within the dominant market of Macao and Singapore. The investments are centered around attracting high-value, high-margin tourism in the long run. This aligns with the current consumer trend of an expanding market for gaming, hospitality, and entertainment, with an increased demand for premium mass and base mass segments. This trend furthermore shows visitors numbers recovering steadily in both Singapore and Macao. Efforts have been accelerated to further attract and retain customers, as these markets capitalize on high-quality assets, including services and amenities that are superior and the unique preference of consumers. Las Vegas Sands is not only upgrading its existing properties but is also diversifying its offerings, enhancing its competitive position in its bid to provide top-notch patron experiences. "Rob, we're obviously keenly aware of the commercial environment down. We're certainly aware of what's happening with Macao promotions, but we remain steadfast. I believe that our product, once completed, will be superior. The scale is greater. The market will grow, and that's how we'll capture our fair share and remain focused on margins and keeping our EBITDA once again. So we're not going to play the game of chasing $10 more for promotions. We don't think it's our business and who we are. We're an asset-driven company with quality assets and scale," elucidated CEO Robert Glen Goldstein, addressing concerns about the competitive environment in Macao and the company's strategic focus. For future endeavors, the company has a strategy in place to continue investing in and growing its market-dominating assets in Macao and Singapore. This includes the completion of renovations at the Londoner, Cotai Arena, Sheraton Towers, and Marina Bay Sands hotel among others. These developments are aimed at repurchasing LVS stock, thus increasing the shareholders' value and its ownership interest in Sands China. In addition, Las Vegas Sands is contemplating possible opportunities in Thailand and expanding its global footprint. This epitomizes the firm's dedication to growth and infusion of capital not only in existing markets but also in potential new markets. This is a public episode.

Pepe Moncayo is the chef and owner of Cranes, a restaurant he opened in Washington, D.C., in February of 2020 to enthusiastic acclaim. Of course, normal operations ceased five weeks later, but the fine-dining restaurant survived and the chef's food, which reflects his own culinary journey, continues to be appreciated by guests. Moncayo was born and raised in the suburbs of Barcelona and started cooking after his mother passed away when he was 13. He would accompany her to the market, carrying her bags for her as she shopped for food for their meals, and he continued to follow in her footsteps after her death, preparing meals for his father, who worked in a factory, and his older brother and younger sister. He realized that cooking was the field he wanted to go into when, as he searched for colleges to attend, the only thing that appealed to him was culinary school.  After graduation he worked at some of the best restaurants in Barcelona until his mentor, Santi Santamaria of Can Fabes restaurant, invited him to work under him at Santi restaurant at the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore. Moncayo stayed in that city-state, working in various positions until he eventually opened his own restaurant, Bam! in 2013. During his stay in Asia he also visited Japan to learn about that country's cuisine, and he fell in love with it. That influence is reflected in the food at Cranes, a restaurant named for the migratory birds. Moncayo says his own journeys have had a strong impact on his own cooking, so the name seemed appropriate. Listen as the chef-owner shares his culinary legacy and his approach to cooking and running restaurants. This interview was part of a new podcast series called Menu Talk, a collaboration between Restaurant Business Senior Menu Editor Pat Cobe and Bret Thorn, senior food & beverage editor of Nation's Restaurant News and Restaurant Hospitality.

A recent Straits Times op-ed on the Israel-Hamas war, written by retired senior diplomat Bilahari Kausikan, triggered a response from Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam, who disagreed with Bilahari's views, and also directed people to read another op-ed with a differing perspective. Why was there a need for a Minister to come forward and push back on a paywall-blocked op-ed accessible only to ST subscribers? Elsewhere, Marina Bay Sands is going all in on Taylor Swift mania with their VIP concert packages, with eye-watering prices ranging from $10,000 on the low end, to $50,000 for the “Wildest Dreams” package.
