Genting enters Las Vegas with US$350 million land buy for "Resorts World Las Vegas"
In a separate announcement to Bursa Malaysia, Genting said it is entering the Las Vegas market with the purchase of a 87-acre parcel of land and structures on it to create "Resorts World Las Vegas" -- Genting’s first resort in Las Vegas.
Genting, via its new indirect wholly-owned unit, Genting Assets Inc (Genting Assets), will pay US$350 million to acquire the Echelon site on the Las Vegas Strip corridor from US listed Boyd Gaming Corp. The statement said Resorts World Las Vegas will be a world-class destination resort with 3,500 rooms in the first phase, as well as 175,000 square feet of gaming space across several gaming floors, and several luxury dining and retail amenities.
The resort will also include convention space for Las Vegas trade shows and over the course of the construction and operation process, Resorts World Las Vegas will bring tens of thousands of jobs to Southern Nevada.
“Las Vegas is considered the gold standard in the world of gaming, resorts, and entertainment, and this project is an incredible addition to the thriving industries that call Las Vegas and Nevada home. “This is an unparalleled opportunity to showcase what has made the Resorts World brand a globally recognised success for the past several decades,” said Lim in the statement.
The Genting Group currently has gaming facilities in Malaysia, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Bahamas and the State of New York.

Genting Singapore's shareholder air concerns at AGM
From the past history, the major shareholder might gain more benefits from the related party transaction and they always transfer the business between the companies.
I always think the best company should able to balance between shareholder return and expanding business opportunity. With this culture on management mind, I believe the company can be still seen and strong on next 100 years.
"I am sure if you are embarrassed about it, there will be some charity bodies which will be quite happy to receive your one-cent payout."

Deal said to be brewing at Genting Plantations
PETALING JAYA: A deal may be brewing at Genting Plantations Bhd , whose stock is just off its all-time high, industry sources said. The shares have risen by some 10.5% year-to-date and closed yesterday up 10 sen, or 1%, at RM9.51. It hit a record high of RM9.65 on Jan 26.
“One can’t rule out a potential sale of the plantations division by the Genting group. “While it is cashflow producing, it isn’t exactly their core business,” a banking source said. But at its current price, Genting Plantations has a market capitalisation of some RM7.18bil, which makes it an expensive acquisition target by any party. It is trading at an estimated price-to-earnings ratio of 16 times for the 2012 financial year, somewhat higher than its peers United Plantations Bhd (12 times), and Sime Darby Bhd (15 times), but cheaper than IOI Corp Bhd ’s 17 times.
Another positive factor for Genting Plantations, an analyst said, was its bustling Johor Premium Outlets (JPO).
The mall, which sells off-season luxury items at a discount, is the only Premium Outlet in South-East Asia, while 58 others are in countries such as the United States, Japan and South Korea. Its stable of brands include Armani, Burberry, Canali, Coach, Ermenegildo Zegna, Guess, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Salvatore Ferragamo.
JPO is a 50:50 joint venture between Genting Plantations, a Genting Bhd subsidiary, and Premium Outlets, the retail outlet division of Simon Property Group Inc. Under
the second phase of its development, Genting plans to spend RM100mil to
increase the number of stores to 130 from the present 70.The company is also expected to invest up to RM1bil to develop the area, including constructing a 2,000-room hotel and a water theme park and a meeting, incentive, conference and exhibition centre. Genting Plantations could not be reached for comment.
Meanwhile, its parent Genting slid 16 sen, or 1.6%, to RM10.30. Both Genting and Genting Malaysia Bhd have seen some selldown in their stock after the Florida legislature delayed voting on a bill to expand casino gambling activities in the state till next year.
The decision put a dent in Genting’s plans for its US$3.8bil Resorts World Miami.

百億俱樂部半數身家縮水‧馬銀行兔年631億續居冠
2012-01-21 10:28
成員增至28家
全場漲跌參半，有12個排名往上攀，另10個排名下跌，5個保持不變，新面孔只有阿瑪達（ARMADA,5210,主板貿服組）。
森那美居亞軍
馬來亞銀行（MAYBANK,1155,主板金融組）成功衛冕市價一哥寶座，但身價卻從虎年的639億2千316萬令吉下挫1.28%至631億零 176萬令吉，森那美（SIME,4197,主板貿服組）擺脫醜聞包袱重新出發，從去年的季軍攀上亞軍位置，可惜市值仍縮水2.26%至545億6千 593萬令吉。
聯昌連跌3級
聯昌集團（C I M B，1023，主板金融組）表現遜色，市值萎縮15.16%至528億4千703萬令吉，排名連退兩級至第四，季軍位置由國油化學（PCHEM,5183,主板工業產品組）奪得，市值為534億4千萬令吉。
大眾銀行（PBBANK,1295,主板金融組）延續穩紮穩打特質，市值稍跌0.91%至469億7千461萬令吉，順利保住第五名寶座。
明訊（M A X I S，6012，主板貿服組）連升兩級至第六位，以422億2千500萬令吉榮登電訊一哥寶座，亞通（AXIATA,6888,主板貿服組）維持在第七位不變，市值萎縮0.15%至409億8千零90萬令吉。
雲頂（GENTING,3182,主板貿服組）、IOI集團（IOICORP,1961,主板種植組）和國家能源（TENAGA,5347,主板貿服組）則瓜分其餘10大位置，市值分別為408億零32萬令吉、346億2千153萬令吉和332億8千798萬令吉。
數碼网絡市值漲54.36%
以漲幅計，數碼网絡（DIGI,6947,主板基建計劃組）市值大漲54.36%至305億5千575萬令吉，國油貿易（PETDAG,5681, 主板貿服組）和豐隆銀行（HLBANK,5819,主板金融組）分別起44.98%和41.09%，市值分別達174億8千479萬令吉和208億6千 699萬令吉。
跌幅方面，國際船務（MISC,3816,主板貿服組）跌勢最猛，全年市值萎縮29.07%至262億4千710萬令吉，楊忠禮電力（Y T L P O W R，6742，主板基建計劃組）以20.35%跌幅次之，市值為135億5千零14萬令吉，聯昌集團則以15.16%跌幅名列第三。
Genting Plantation: JPO a big hit with bargain shoppers
JPO a big hit with bargain shoppers
ONE month into its opening, Johor Premium Outlets (JPO) - a shopping haven joint-venture project between Malaysia’s Genting group and the US’ Simon Property Group - has been attracting strong crowds, especially during weekends.This spells good news not just for Johor’s tourism industry, but also for the development of Iskandar Malaysia.
Iskandar Malaysia, which aims to be the most developed region in the southern peninsular, needs something to get the average Malaysian excited about it and JPO is one of few projects that help provide it, analysts say.“Malaysians are shopaholics, so something like this stirs their adrenaline,” one remarked.
JPO, Southeast Asia’s first premium outlet, located in Kulaijaya, is a project earmarked under the country’s Economic Transformation Programme to boost tourism. It is expected to attract some three million visitors in its first year of operation. About 90 per cent of its Phase One’s 70 branded/designer stores, including Coach, Ferragamo, Burberry, Levis and Guess, are already operational. The rest, which include Polo Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Brooks Brothers, are being fitted out, according to a property research report by HwangDBS Vickers Research on January 16.
“Discounts range from 30 per cent to 60 per cent, a tad better than Singapore sales,” its analysts Yee Mei Hui and Quah He Wei said, noting that the “strong” crowds comprised both locals and Singaporeans. “We believe JPO will likely attract shoppers consistently, particularly from residents within the Johor state as well as visitors from Singapore, given its location that already has captive shoppers of 8.3 million (3.1 million population in Johor and 5.2 million population in Singapore) and ample car park space,” Hong Leong Investment Bank (HLIB) Research said in a recent report.
While JPO’s size may pale in comparison to similar outlets in the US, Japan and Hong Kong, Phase Two of its development could see another 60 outlets come up, bringing the total number of outlets to 130. Future development may also include a 2,000-room hotel and water-theme park. JPO, officially launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on December 11 2011, is a 50:50 joint venture between Genting Plantation Bhd’s Azzon Ltd and Premium Outlets, the outlet division of Simon Property Group.
HLIB Research estimated that JPO could contribute some RM11 million a year in net profit to Genting Plantations, a mid-sized plantations firm, from this year onwards. From an equity investment standpoint, HwangDBS believes that Genting Plantation, which owns 5,500 acres of land in Kulai, could be JPO’s largest beneficiary. “Every RM5 per square feet increase (from RM10 per square foot assumed) would raise its sum of total parts value by 10 per cent,” it said. It had a “buy” call on the stock with a target price of RM9.60 a share.
Genting Plantations’ stock, which fell by 2.3 per cent last year, last traded at RM9.28 on Friday, up 13 sen.

金务大、马银行、莫实得和多元重工业 证券行首选数目：★★★★★★★★★
竞标140亿捷运隧道工程
吉隆坡捷运系统（MRT）工程的落实进展相当鼓舞，政府宣布该计划将在2011年下半年进行，预计竞标活动和各配套工程将在未来2至6个月发放。
捷运系统计划敲定将于7月中正式启动，预料整项计划耗资360亿令吉，耗时5至6年竣工。
目前，金务大-马矿业联营公司已获政府受委为捷运系统的工程交付合作伙伴（PDP），而金务大已表明将参与总值料达140亿令吉的捷运隧道工程。
竞标成功订单翻倍
因此，一旦金务大在捷运隧道工程竞标成功出线，其订单将轻而易举的翻倍，以及提高未来10年的盈利可见度。
这项工程料在金务大2011财年的盈利，有望提高介于6%至10%，进而激励其股价走势。
此外，金务大也放眼海外工程，其中包括卡达尔总值450亿美元的捷运工程，而招标活动料在2011年进行。
越南产业提高盈利
金务大越南的产业业务，经过展延后，将在2011年正式推出，而这将促使其2011财年的盈利提高至30%。
在收费大道业务方面，白蒲大道（LDP）收费将从2011年初获得调高31%，这可改善其盈利稳定。
证券行指出，金务大是大马最佳的建筑股代表，重新评估该股的催化剂，包括在大马、印度和中东所获颁的工程。
风险主要来自产业领域增长出现放缓，以及各项工程延迟发放，而这将为股价带来压力。
马银行（Maybank，1155，主板金融股）证券行首选数目：★★★★★★★★
海外业务盈利贡献增
家庭消费不断增长，加上政府推出的经济转型执行方案（ETP），料将让马银行从中受惠，潜在贷款总值达1.29兆令吉。
在本地贷款业务方面，马银行在2011财年首季的贷款取得14%强劲增长，印尼贷款增长率更达39%，新加坡贷款业务则增长7%。
展望未来，预计马银行在海外的业务盈利贡献将加速增长，其中，印尼国际银行（BII）的贷款业务料可持续取得强劲增长。
同时，在国家银行预料将在2011年再次展开“正常化”隔夜政策利率水平之下，也将促使马银行的净利息赚幅提高；马银行的来往与储蓄户口存款占总存款37%。
亚通（Axiata，6888，主板贸服股）证券行首选数目：★★★★★★
负债减有派高息潜能
亚通是大马唯一一家业务遍布亚洲市场的上市电讯公司，预料其大马和印尼业务将持续取得强劲增长。
在2011财年，预料集团旗下的XL在营收和盈利皆可强劲增长，而天地通则料在智能手机和宽频需求不断增长下，数据业务可持续增长。
根据数据显示，亚通的数据业务在2009财年的营收贡献已提高至41%，而2008财年只有38%。
展望未来，预料XL在2011至2013财年将是亚通最大的盈利贡献来源，营业贡献料介于45%至48%，而扣除利息、税务、折旧与摊销前盈利前（EBITDA）贡献更是超过50%。
值得关注的是，亚通将开始派发股息，在集团的负债率呈下滑趋势，具有潜能派发高于预期的股息。
该股重新评估催化剂，包括成本节省举措大幅推高赚幅、正面盈利表现以及股息惊喜。
森那美（Sime，4197，主板贸服股）证券行首选数目：★★★★★★
料有系列企业活动
随着原棕油价格前景看俏，以及森那美的股值相当吸引，该集团的展望也倍受看好。
在全球植物油供应出现短缺、原油价格续强劲攀升及美元兑令吉汇率走弱之下，预料将推动原棕油价格走强。
根据森那美管理层指出，原棕油每公吨每变动100令吉，也将导致该集团的盈利变动2亿令吉。每当原棕油价格上涨1令吉，该集团的盈利将扬200万令吉。
此外，一般相信，森那美最糟糕的时期已经过去，而管理层在工程超支事件上已经采取法律行动对付涉及的人士，并且追讨所蒙受的亏损。
然而，该股股价走势依然落后大市，而目前最重要的就是，管理层需要重建大众对该集团的信心。
在未来，不排除该集团将出现一系列的企业活动，包括各核心业务各别上市、产业业务出现并购活动，以及脱售非核心业务。
联昌国际（CIMB，1023，主板金融股）证券行首选数目：★★★★★
净利料破市场预测
在国内生产总值（GDP）持续取得正面增长，以及大马和东南亚庞大的游资下，将可支撑资本市场活动。
一般相信，大马资本市场将持续活跃至2011年，而主要受惠业者将是联昌国际。
在2010年，国内的首次公开售股（IPO）活动显见强劲反弹，在大马交易所上市的公司计有28家，相等于前年的两倍。
除了国油石化的上市计划外，联昌国际也负责香港另一家大型上市活动——友邦保险（AIA），料这两项上市计划可推动该集团的营收和业绩表现。
在2010财年首9个月，联昌国际的净利达市场预测全年的74%，随着该集团负责两大上市计划，预料可突破市场全年预测。
这也意味着，联昌国际在第四季的盈利表现相当可观。
根据管理层指南，2010财年的投资回酬16%目标依然维持不变。
预料国内资本市场首次公开售股活动在明年续强劲，联昌国际将是主要的受惠者。
云顶（Genting，3182，主板贸服股）证券行首选数目：★★★★★
云顶狮城盈利贡献大
在云顶新加坡的业务强劲贡献之下，加上原棕油价格不断攀升，预料云顶在未来两财年的盈利增长将持续获得动力。
在上述两大利好因素下，预计该集团在2011财年的核心盈利可取得40%强劲增长，并在2012财年继续高涨10%。
新加坡赌场业务的市占率扩大，以及计划在Aqueduct推出赌桌（table games），将能提高其赌场盈利。
值得关注的是，云顶新加坡旗下的圣陶沙名胜世界（RWS）盈利表现料超越区域同业。
在未来，云顶的盈利表现将持续由云顶新加坡的贡献推动。
至于在原棕油价格方面，在2010年已飙升35%，一旦在印尼的种植在2012年和2013年成熟，料种植业务的盈利贡献将大幅提高。
此外，云顶也将精简其资产，并且相信管理层将套现其非核心资产，特别是在电力和石油与天然气业务方面，以把资本投资在赌场业务。
云顶是证券行首选股项之一，原因包括该集团在休闲与赌场业务具有强劲的现金流，以及圣陶沙名胜世界的盈利景看俏。
亚航（AirAsia，5099，主板贸服股）证券行首选数目：★★★★
乘客量增盈利看涨
在季节性因素下，亚洲航空的盈利将持续取得强劲表现，而该股的重新评估催化剂包括乘客量以及每名乘客收益提高。
至于另一个重新评估的潜在催化剂，则是来自其联号公司--泰国亚航和印尼亚航的盈利表现超越预期。
值得一提的是，在国民消费不断增长以及令吉兑美元汇率走势持续强劲之下，也预料航空领域能够从中受惠。
此外，预计在第三季上市的泰国亚航和印尼亚航，将为亚航带来额外的价值。
然而，如果上市计划展延，或者任何事故的发生而影响其联号公司的运作，包括经济的恶化，将是该股下掉评级的不利因素。
肯油企业（Kencana，5122，主板贸服股）证券行首选数目：★★★★
力争马印工程合约
在2010年，肯油企业已受惠于大马、越南、印度和澳洲所颁发的各项工程与合约，共获得13项总值10亿令吉的工程。
为此，肯油企业如今的订单，已大幅提高至21亿令吉。
作为大型且有效率的船坞厂，肯油企业已准备就绪争取更多的合约，预料在未来数个月，该公司将取得一些新合约。
同时，肯油企业也放眼，在大马争取总值52亿令吉的工程合约，以及在印度至少获得总之3亿美元（9亿3000万令吉）的合约。
马星（MahSing，8583，主板产业股）证券行首选数目：★★★★
销售额飙升 股价被低估
目前，马星集团在巴生谷、槟城和新山，正进行15项产业项目，并且积极地收购土地，在未来计划推出10项产业项目。
销售额破新高
根据马星集团在近期的销售额，显示该集团专注在黄金地段发展产业项目的措施是可行的。
在2010财年首9个月，马星集团的销售额突破有史以来的新高水平，达11亿6000万令吉，超越2009财年全年的总销售额60%。
在2010财年的销售额大幅飙升，加上未入账的销售额达11亿7600万令吉，该集团的未来盈利可见度也大大改善。
该股的交易价位只有9倍本益比，相信马星集团已严重被低估，该集团推出的产业不仅具创意，更是拥有庞大的低库、派发股息以及良好的盈利可见度。
莫实得（Bstead，2771，主板种植股）证券行首选数目：★★★★
3利好支撑盈利增长
在3大利好因素支撑下，料莫实得在未来的盈利可取得强劲增长，包括：（一）原棕油价格继续攀高；（二）收购发马（Pharma，7081，主板贸服股）所带来的协同效益与盈利贡献；以及（三）第二批的巡逻艇兴建工程贡献。
该股的重新评估催化剂包括：（一）一旦兴建巡逻艇的意向书取得进展，并料在2011年中旬获颁合约下，预计该工程总值可达80亿令吉，进而将加速其2012财年的盈利增长；（二）在政府脱售土地措施下，成功执行产业发展项目。据了解，位于Cochrance路和怡保路的土地，在未来10年的发展总值达160亿至180亿令吉。
值得关注的是，莫实得是官联公司中具有最吸引的估值，以及派发相当不错的股息，其种植业务是该集团的“摇钱树”。
同时，在现金流稳定增长之下，可能促使管理层提高股息派发率，而在2010财年首9个月，股息派发率达100%（每股27仙），超越证券行的预测范围。
Genting's Singapore integrated resorts to open Jan 20
"Resorts World Sentosa is working closely with the authorities to obtain approvals for Universal Studios Singapore, which will open next. The opening date for the casino will be announced when it gets notice of its casino licence," it said.
Meanwhile, Reuters reports Genting Singapore would announce the start date for the casino when it receives the licence from Singapore authorities.Singapore legalised casino gambling in 2005 and said it will allow two casino-resorts to be built as part of ambitious plans to double visitor arrivals to 17 million by 2015.The city-state's other casino-resort, Las Vegas Sands' US$5.5 billion Marina Bay Sands, is scheduled to begin its phased opening in April, although many analysts doubt if the firm can meet the target date.Casino operators in Singapore will pay an effective tax of around 12 percent on net revenue from gamblers, giving them an incentive to draw Asian high rollers away from Macau where the tax is just under 40 percent.Reuters said Genting declined to provide estimated start dates for its Singapore casino or Universal Studios theme park, Southeast Asia's first, although a spokesman said testing and commissioning of the various rides had started in early November.The wire report stated a spokeswoman for Singapore's Casino Regulatory Authority had said Genting made an initial submission for a casino licence in October 2009 and the completed application package was received in December. Singapore casino laws are based on regulations in the United States and Australia.

Resorts World @ Sentosa
Singapore's holiday island of Sentosa has beautiful beaches and untouched tropical forest, along with fine restaurants and spas, and entertainments such as a butterfly park, a huge aquarium with dolphin lagoon, a luge track (“part go-cart, part-toboggan, pure excitement”), two state-of-the-art experiential movie theatres, and a great deal more.
But compared with what's to come, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Sentosa is stepping into the world league with the arrival of the Resorts World at Sentosa, which will have now fewer than six hotels, 40 meeting venues, a 15,000-square-metre casino, entertainment that includes Southeast Asia’s first Universal Studios theme park, a sophisticated spa, superb restaurants and stacks of shops.
Resorts World’s owners, Genting International of Malaysia and Star Cruises of Hong Kong, are spending US$5.2 billion on the 49-hectare complex. That’s how serious these people are.
Parts of the complex are already complete and the 1,600-seat Festive Grand plenary hall is being readied to host its first event, a fund-raising concert for the local charity ChildAid. The whole complex is expected to be complete early 2010, employing 10,000 people.
The Hotels at Resorts World Sentosa
Resorts World at Sentosa has no fewer than six hotels and resorts, each cleverly designed with a different kind of holidaymaker in mind.
Hotel Maxim is ultra-deluxe and suites-only, and sits atop the casino. It will also include private gaming rooms and fine-dining restaurants. For those who enjoy gaming, this is the place to stay.
Hotel Michael has boutique accommodation and is named after the renowned Resorts World architect, Michael Graves. It is equipped entirely with elegant furniture and fittings designed by Graves’ company. There will even be a shop where you can buy Graves-designed items to take home.
Hard Rock Hotel is, as its name suggests, aimed at all those who love piping-hot rock music. This is the place to enjoy the “Rock ’n’ Roll rockstars” lifestyle. Attached to the hotel are the resort’s convention and exhibition facilities.
Festive Hotel, chic and contemporary, is aimed at families. It’s next to the thronging Festive Walk, with its restaurants, shops, nightclubs and non-stop street entertainment.
Equarius Hotel is for those who appreciate nature – just a few steps away is the virgin forest of Sentosa island. It’s also right next to Equarius water park, with its water rides, slides and pools. Ideal for families.
The Spa Villas offer the ultimate beach-side getaway, but without being far from the action when required. Perfect for special holidays, weddings or honeymoons, it offers the best of both worlds – romantic retreat and still close to the buzz of Resort World’s facilities.
Meetings, Incentives,
Conferences & Exhibitions
Who says meetings always have to be serious? In fact, wouldn’t a bit of fun be inspiring? Conducive to great ideas? How about a conference in Waterworld, or a sales meeting surrounded by the excitement of Universal Studios rides?
Resort World at Sentosa does have conventional meeting and exhibition facilities, including the vast column-free space of Asia’s largest ballroom and a host of smaller venues. But when it comes to incentive groups or exciting product launches, the only limitation is the organisers’ imaginations.
As Resorts World suggests, “Delegates could wrap up a day of seminars with a wild costume party at Hollywood Boulevard in Universal Studios Singapore, while marketers could throw product launches at WaterWorld – where stuntmen and movie special effects would make a splash, and an impression. Black-tie galas could be held at the resort’s 1,600-seat plenary hall, while VIPs get treated to exclusive dolphin encounter sessions.”
They say dolphins are highly intelligent so who knows? Maybe the next great business idea will be sparked by such an encounter.

Resorts World at Sentosa has a cluster of truly world-class attractions to entertain tired business people or vacationing families.
Universal Studios Singapore This theme park has no fewer than seven themes with 24 rides, all aimed at providing maximum screams and excitement. These include Battlestar Galactica, a high-speed ride with heart-lurching near-collisions as opposing cars sweep past one another. Or there’s Journey to Madagascar, a river rapids ride, or ET Adventure, in which riders fly on bicycles up into the sky. There’s also a spectacular show with dozens of stunt performers and stacks of pyrotechnics, based on the movie Waterworld.
Marine Life Park. This is the world’s largest oceanarium, filled with all kinds of fish right up to the enormous whale shark. And it’s not just for those who want to stay safely detached, looking through the glass at the wonders of the sea; there’s a wading pool for children and adults to get to know the friendly reef fish or, for those who like their excitement to come with rows of very sharp teeth, the opportunity to get in a tank with tiger sharks – and feed them.
Maritime Experiential Theatre. This starts off fairly conventionally with visitors sitting in theatre seats and being “ushered aboard” an Arab sailing vessel heading home after loading up in Asia. But then the weather gets really bad. The theatre seats pitch up and down. There’s worse to come – the vessel sinks! And that’s when the adventure really begins...
Equarius Water Park. Kids – and their parents – will love this place. A surf pool, a stunning water slide that swooshes through the jungle, “Snakes & Ladders”, with water that flows uphill, and much more. For those who prefer to stay dry, there’s also a fascinating tree-top walkway, for an unforgettably unique view of the jungle.
Festive Walk. Anyone who’s been to Las Vegas will have been awestruck by Fremont St and its enormous video “sky”. Fremont St was designed by Jeremy Railton, who is also the genius behind the design of Festive Walk. It’ll have shops, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and there will be something happening there 24 hours a day – lights, laser shows, fire, water and special effects. Definitely the place to see and be seen.
La Vie. All the best resorts in the world have great theatrical entertainment. In the case of Resorts World it will be La Vie, an extravaganza of great music, brilliant costumes, stunning sets and lighting, and astonishing acrobatic performances. Not to be missed.
Espa. When all the excitement gets a bit too much, Espa is the place to go to relax, to chill, to re-centre. Facing out across the water towards the sunset, the spa offers relaxation therapy, lifestyle coaching, nutrition management, stress management, general health and fitness, post-operative rehabilitation and interactive dolphin therapy.

圣淘沙名胜世界较对手提早开幕 云顶2年财测上调8%

●南洋商报
（吉隆坡24日讯） 云顶（Genting，3182，主板贸服股）旗下的圣淘沙名胜世界，将比对手滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城提早开幕6周，再加上云顶马来西亚（GenM，4715，主板贸服股）的业务稳健，分析员因此上调2010年至2011年的盈利预测3%到8%。
马银行投资银行指出，该行看好圣淘沙名胜世界较滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城提前开幕6周的事宜，并相信当地顾客在支付2000新元（约4880令吉）的赌场年费后，会成为圣淘沙名胜世界“忠实”顾客。同时，随着经济的复苏，博彩营业额将增加，云顶新加坡将在当地市场占有45%的市占率，从中提高2011年的盈利预测至64%。分析员说：“新加坡的博彩业和澳门类似，狮城的博彩业总值42亿新元（约102亿令吉），身为区域航空枢纽，新加坡将吸引来自东南亚各地的顾客。”
在此情况下，预料新加坡的综合度假村将吸引2600万总游客人数。以马来西亚为例，将近一半的顾客是云顶赌场的长期客户，若引援这项数据用在新加坡的赌场业，每年将有1300万游客光顾新加坡的两家赌场。“再假设每名顾客至少花费300新元（约732令吉）在赌场活动，将有助提高领域营业额至39亿新元（约95亿令吉），新加坡赌场市场规模约为40亿新元（约97.6亿令吉），而云顶新加坡将可分得45%的市占率。” 但是，由于滨海湾金沙综合娱乐城坐落在商业中心，比圣淘沙名胜世界更通行无阻，因此，云顶新加坡的市占率也从先前预测的50%，下滑至目前预测的45%。
有鉴于前景可期，马银行投资银行调高云顶2010年至2011年的盈利预测3%至8%，且预料良好资产表现将有助推动并购计划，让股价交易更接近其实质净资产。
评级上修至守住
此外，云顶新加坡发行附加股的活动，也可推高公司现金至23亿新元（约56亿令吉）。与此同时，马银行投资银行也调高云顶的目标价格至6.80令吉，并认为估值仍不过于昂贵，投资评级从“脱售”上修至“守住”。
