Las Vegas (AP) — Las Vegas Sands Corp. said Friday that officials from the Singapore government and senior executives from the resort developer met to discuss the completion of the Marina Bay Sands resort in Singapore amid continued concern about tightness in the credit markets.

Las Vegas Sands said discussions included construction and marketing efforts to bring more conventions and exhibitions to Singapore.

„In light of recent turmoil in the global markets, I felt the need to personally reaffirm our commitment to the success of Marina Bay Sands,“ Sheldon G. Adelson, chairman and chief executive said in a statement.

Adelson said the Singapore government’s support of the project „remains strong.“
