Marina Bay Sands is one of two winning proposals for Singapore's first integrated resorts, the other being the Resorts World Sentosa, which incorporates a family-friendly Universal Studios Theme Park (Universal Studios Singapore). The two large-scale resorts were conceived to meet Singapore's economic and tourism objectives for the next decade and will have 30-year casino licenses, exclusive for the first ten years.

Bidders were assessed based on four criteria: tourism appeal and contribution, architectural concept and design, development investment, and strength of the consortium and partners.

On 27 May 2006, Las Vegas Sands (LVS) was declared the winner with its business-oriented resort.{{cite news |title=While Las Vegas Sands bets on conventions, Harrah's counts on fun factor |publisher=TODAYonline |date=12 May 2006 }} LVS submitted its winning bid on its own. Its original partner City Developments Limited (CDL), with a proposed 15% equity stake, pulled out of the partnership in the second phase of the tender process. CDL's CEO, Kwek Leng Beng said his company's pullout was a combination of factors—such as difficulties in getting numerous companies he owns to comply in time, as well as reluctance of some parties to disclose certain private information in probity checks required by the Singapore government. However, Kwek was retained as an advisor for Sands' bid.

Las Vegas Sands initially committed to invest S$3.85 billion in the project, not including the fixed S$1.2 billion cost of the {{convert|6000000|sqft}} site itself.{{Cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/27/business/worldbusiness/27casino.html |title=Las Vegas Sands Is Chosen to Build Singapore Casino |date=27 May 2006 |access-date=22 February 2017 |archive-date=23 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160723065734/http://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/27/business/worldbusiness/27casino.html |url-status=live }} With the escalating costs of materials, such as sand and steel, and labour shortages owing to other major infrastructure and property development in the country, Sheldon Adelson placed the total cost of the development at S$8.0 billion as of July 2009.

Las Vegas Sands declared the undertaking as "one of the world's most challenging construction projects and certainly the most expensive stand-alone integrated resort property ever built". It expected the casino to generate at least $1 billion in annual profit.{{cite news |last=Bi |first=Mingxin |url=http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/travel/2010-04/29/c_13271907_3.htm |title=Singapore bets big on casinos |agency=Xinhua News Agency |date=29 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100824152313/http://news.xinhuanet.com/english2010/travel/2010-04/29/c_13271907_3.htm |archive-date=24 August 2010 }} Two months after the initial phased opening, the casino was attracting around 25,000 visitors daily, about a third being Singaporeans and permanent residents who paid a $150 daily entry levy or $3,000 for annual unlimited access.{{cite news |url=http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_544491.html |title=IR set for 125k daily visitors |work=The Straits Times |date=23 June 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100626114333/http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/Singapore/Story/STIStory_544491.html |archive-date=26 June 2010 }} Half a million gamblers passed through the casino in June 2010.{{cite news |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100626041443/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1065117/1/.html |archive-date=26 June 2010 |url-status=dead |author=Imelda Saad |url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1065117/1/.html |title=25,000 visit MBS casino daily |publisher=Channel NewsAsia |date=23 June 2010 }} In the third quarter of 2012, the revenues of the Marina Bay Sands fell almost 28 per cent from a year earlier.{{Cite news |title=Singapore casino revenues slow down |publisher=Investvine.com |date=19 January 2013 |url=http://investvine.com/singapore-casino-revenues-slow-down/ |access-date=19 January 2013 |archive-date=22 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130122143501/http://investvine.com/singapore-casino-revenues-slow-down/ |url-status=live }}

For the economy, Marina Bay Sands was projected to stimulate an addition of $2.7 billion or 0.8% to Singapore's Gross Domestic Product by 2015, employing 10,000 people directly and 20,000 jobs being created in other industries.

On 3 April 2019, Sands announced a $3.3 billion expansion of its Marina Bay Sands property in Singapore. The expansion will include the construction of a fourth hotel tower containing 1,000 luxury suites and a 15,000-seat arena.{{cite web |last1=Velotta |first1=Richard N. |title=Las Vegas Sands announces $3.3B expansion in Singapore |url=https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/las-vegas-sands-announces-3-3b-expansion-in-singapore-1632325/ |website=Las Vegas Review-Journal |access-date=3 April 2019 |date=3 April 2019 |archive-date=3 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190403213107/https://www.reviewjournal.com/business/casinos-gaming/las-vegas-sands-announces-3-3b-expansion-in-singapore-1632325/ |url-status=live }}

In October 2024, Sands announced it would increase its investment to US$8 billion on its expansion, described as an entirely new development dubbed “Marina Bay Sands IR2”. The development is slated to boast 570 luxury suites, 110,000 square feet of MICE space, its own SkyPark and high-end F&B, in addition to the 15,000-seat arena previously announced.{{cite web |last1=Blaschke |first1=Ben |title=Las Vegas Sands reveals US$8 billion investment into Singapore expansion dubbed Marina Bay Sands IR2 |url=https://asgam.com/2024/10/24/las-vegas-sands-reveals-us8-billion-investment-in-singapore-expansion-dubbed-marina-bay-sands-ir2/ |website=IAG |access-date=6 May 2025 |date=24 October 2024 |archive-date=14 January 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114180843/https://asgam.com/2024/10/24/las-vegas-sands-reveals-us8-billion-investment-in-singapore-expansion-dubbed-marina-bay-sands-ir2/ |url-status=live }}

As the development of Marina Bay Sands was perceived as critical in Singapore's urbanization efforts, a fixed price was set for the land. This was a departure from the government auctioning off the land to the highest bidder.{{cite journal |title=Regulating design in Singapore: A survey of the Government Land Sales (GLS) |author=Lee Kah Wee |journal=Environment and Planning C: Government and Policy |volume=28 |issue=1 |pages=145–164 |date=2010 |doi=10.1068/c08132 |eissn=2399-6552 |s2cid=154666360 |url=https://doi.org/10.1068/c08132 |url-access=subscription }} Bidders were instead assessed holistically on factors such as the design of the Marina Bay Sands and the amenities it would offer.{{cite journal |title=Reinterpreting the Meaning of the 'Singapore Model': State Capitalism and Urban Planning |author=Gavin Shatkin |year=2014 |journal=International Journal of Urban and Regional Research |volume=38 |pages=116–137 |doi=10.1111/1468-2427.12095 |hdl=2027.42/102246 |url=https://doi.org/10.1111/1468-2427.12095 |hdl-access=free }}

The resort is designed by Moshe Safdie, who says it was initially inspired by card decks. The prominent feature of the design is the three hotel towers, which have 1,850 rooms and suites, and a continuous lobby at the base linking the three towers. The casino has a four-storey central atrium with four levels of gaming and entertainment in one space.{{cite web |url=https://www.arch2o.com/marina-bay-sands-safdie-architects/ |title=Marina Bay Sands: Safdie Architects |first=Kristin |last=Hoover |work=Arch2o |date=15 March 2013 |access-date=22 July 2018 |archive-date=22 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180722155529/https://www.arch2o.com/marina-bay-sands-safdie-architects/ |url-status=live }} In addition to the hotel and the casino, other buildings include a {{cvt|200000|sqft|order=flip|abbr=on}} ArtScience Museum, and Sands Expo & Convention Centre with {{cvt|1200000|sqft|order=flip|abbr=on}} of space, capable of accommodating up to 45,000 people.

The three towers are broader at the base and narrow as they rise. Each tower has two asymmetric legs, with a curved eastern leg leaning against the other, creating a significant technical challenge in its construction. Substantial temporary structures were necessary to support the legs of the tower while they were under construction, and required real-time monitoring for continual assessment and analyses in the course of their erection.{{cite journal |url=http://www.structuremag.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/F-MarinaBaySands-June111.pdf |title=Engineering an Icon |journal=Structure Magazine |date=June 2011 |pages=29–33 |access-date=4 August 2017 |archive-date=13 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171013192609/http://www.structuremag.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/F-MarinaBaySands-June111.pdf |url-status=live }}

A distinctive feature of the hotel is Sands SkyPark, a 1.2-hectare tropical oasis that is longer than the Eiffel Tower and extends to form one of the world’s longest public cantilevers. Built at the height of 200m, the structure offers 12,400sqm of space – big enough to fit three football fields.{{cite web |url=https://www.greenroofs.com/projects/marina-bay-sands-integrated-resort-skypark/ |title=Marina Bay Sands |work=Greenroofs |date=15 October 2020 |access-date=May 6, 2025 |archive-date=7 March 2025 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250307175740/https://www.greenroofs.com/projects/marina-bay-sands-integrated-resort-skypark/ |url-status=live }} The structure bridges all three towers with a segment cantilevered off the north tower. The hull of the SkyPark was pre-fabricated off-site in 14 separate steel sections and then assembled on top of the towers.{{cite web |url=http://www.architectmagazine.com/design/buildings/marina-bay-sands_o |title=Marina Bay Sands |first=Sara |last=Hart |work=Architect Magazine |date=3 January 2011 |access-date=11 May 2017 |archive-date=21 March 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170321180447/http://www.architectmagazine.com/design/buildings/marina-bay-sands_o |url-status=live }} There are four movement joints beneath the main pools, designed to help them withstand the natural motion of the towers, and each joint has a unique range of motion. The total range of motion is {{convert|500|mm|abbr=off}}. In addition to wind, the hotel towers are also subject to settlement in the earth over time, so engineers built and installed custom jack legs to allow for future adjustment at more than 500 points beneath the pool system. This jacking system is important primarily to ensure the infinity edge of the pool continues to function properly.

Marina Bay Sands was originally planned to be completed in a single phase in 2009, but rising construction costs and the 2008 financial crisis forced the company to open it in phases. The first phase's soft opening was further delayed until 27 April 2010, and the official opening was pushed back to 23 June 2010. The rest of the complex remained under construction and was opened after a grand opening on 17 February 2011.

On 27 April 2010, Marina Bay Sands had the first of a planned 3 to 4 phase openings. The casino, parts of the conference hall, a segment of the Shoppes, 963 hotel rooms and the event plaza were opened at the auspicious time of 3:18 p.m as part of the "preview opening".{{cite web |url=http://www.marinabaysands.com/Media_Center/Press_Releases/Marina_Bay_Sands_Gears_up_for_Preview.aspx |title=Marina Bay Sands |publisher=Marina Bay Sands |date=24 April 2010 |access-date=17 July 2010 |archive-date=26 July 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100726124716/http://www.marinabaysands.com/Media_Center/Press_Releases/Marina_Bay_Sands_Gears_up_for_Preview.aspx |url-status=live }}

The Inter-Pacific Bar Association (IPBA) held the first conference at Marina Bay Sands Convention Centre on 2–5 May 2010, but the event was marred by uncompleted facilities and power failure during a speech. IPBA withheld payment of S$300,000 and was consequently sued by Marina Bay Sands. In June IPBA counter-sued, describing the venue as a "complete disaster" and that its earlier payments had been imposed by "duress, fear and force". An "amicable settlement" with undisclosed terms was announced in August.

On 23 June 2010, the resort had its official opening with a "2-day celebration"; this included the Sands SkyPark, the Event Plaza along Marina Bay, more shops, additional dining options and nightlife offerings, and the rest of the hotel rooms. First day events included a "World Championship Climb" on the glass facade of the building to the SkyPark, with seven teams of 21 top rock climbers from around the world competing, and an evening concert for 4,000 invited guests and customers, featuring Kelly Rowland and Sylvia Ratonel. The SkyPark was opened on the second day at 2 p.m., with about 2,000 adult tickets costing S$20 each sold.{{cite web |url=http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1065449/1/.html |title=Marina Bay Sands SkyPark opens; 2,000 tickets sold |publisher=Channel NewsAsia |date=24 June 2010 |author=Evelyn Choo |access-date=17 July 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100626043846/http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/singaporelocalnews/view/1065449/1/.html |archive-date=26 June 2010 }}

A canal runs through the length of the Shoppes, in the same style as The Venetian in Las Vegas. Sampan rides on the canal are available for guests and shoppers at the shopping mall, similar to the gondola rides available in the Venetian. Also housed within the Shoppes are several Celebrity Chef restaurants—Bread Street Kitchen (by Gordon Ramsay), Cut (by Wolfgang Puck), Waku Ghin (by Tetsuya Wakuda), and Maison (by Daniel Boulud).

The north side of the Shoppes used to contain an ice skating rink, which used artificial ice. In 2017, it was replaced with Digital Light Canvas by Japanese art collective TeamLab.{{cite news |title=Digital Light Canvas at Marina Bay Sands is your next Instagrammable thing|url=https://www.timeout.com/singapore/news/digital-light-canvas-at-marina-bay-sands-is-your-next-instagrammable-thing-122217 |website=Time Out |date=22 December 2017 |access-date=6 May 2025 |archive-date=13 November 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241113110030/https://www.timeout.com/singapore/news/digital-light-canvas-at-marina-bay-sands-is-your-next-instagrammable-thing-122217 |url-status=live }}

When Marina Bay Sands first opened, it featured two Crystal Pavilions located along the Waterfront Promenade and linked to the shopping mall. Despite a brief legal dispute in June 2011, it was decided that one of the Pavilions will house two nightclubs—Avalon and Pangaea. The second Pavilion houses the world's largest Louis Vuitton boutique, in addition to being on a floating island, at {{cvt|20000|sqft|order=flip|abbr=on}}, which is connected to the portion of the boutique in the Shoppes via an underwater tunnel. Both Pavilions opened in 2011 just before the 2011 Formula One season came to the Marina Bay Street Circuit. The Pavilion vacant by Avalon and Pangaea was taken over by Singapore's third Apple Store, Apple Marina Bay Sands,[https://www.apple.com/sg/retail/marinabaysands/ Apple Marina Bay Sands] in 2020.{{Cite web |last=Steeber |first=Michael |date=23 August 2020 |title=One-of-a-kind Marina Bay Apple Store prepares to open in Singapore |url=https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/23/apple-store-marina-bay-sands-singapore-opening-soon/ |access-date=23 August 2020 |website=9to5Mac |archive-date=28 August 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200828233001/https://9to5mac.com/2020/08/23/apple-store-marina-bay-sands-singapore-opening-soon/ |url-status=live }} Their third store in Singapore feature the company's first store that sits on water and one that is of spherical design.{{cite news |title=Apple unwraps spherical glass Apple Store in Singapore by Foster + Partners |url=https://www.dezeen.com/2020/09/09/apple-marina-bay-sands-store-spherical-singapore-foster-partners/ |work=Dezeen |date=9 September 2020 |language=en |access-date=12 September 2020 |archive-date=11 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200911231901/https://www.dezeen.com/2020/09/09/apple-marina-bay-sands-store-spherical-singapore-foster-partners/ |url-status=live }}

Moshe Safdie designed an Art Path within the resort, incorporating installations by five artists including Zheng Chongbin, Antony Gormley and Sol LeWitt. The pieces are meant to play on environmental influences including light, water and wind, integrating art with architecture.{{citation |title=Marina Bay Sands opens |url=http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/10054/moshe-safdie-marina-bay-sands-opens.html |date=27 April 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100503143709/http://www.designboom.com/weblog/cat/9/view/10054/moshe-safdie-marina-bay-sands-opens.html |archive-date=3 May 2010 }}

In 2011, Marina Bay Sands launched a nightly light and water show, titled Wonder Full, a multimedia show designed by the Australian multimedia company Laservision and incorporated various Laservision technology such as the Stella Ray.{{cite web |title=Marina Bay Sands – Wonder Full |url=https://www.laservision.com.au/marina-bay-sands-wonder-full/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203023925/http://www.laservision.sg/page.asp?lid=1&sec=Projects&subsec=Permanent+Attractions&subsubsec=Marina+Bay+Sands |archive-date=3 December 2013 |work=Laservision |access-date=2 September 2013 }} The show starts off with a single drop of water, representing the birth of life. It later stages through important stages of a person's life such as childhood, development through age and adulthood.

In 2017, Wonder Full was replaced with a new light and water show, titled Spectra. Set to an original orchestral soundtrack composed by Singaporean producer and composer Kenn C., Spectra is a state-of-the-art multimedia experience that is dramatic in scale and unique in style. The 15-minute show is currently staged every night at 8pm and 9pm (Sundays to Thursdays), with a third show at 10pm on Fridays and Saturdays.{{cite web |title=Spectra and Wonder Full Light & Water Shows |url=https://singapore-academy.org/index.php/en/education/library-media-center/places-to-visit-tourist-attractions-of-singapore/item/261-spectra-wonder-full-light-water-show |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250506103122/https://singapore-academy.org/index.php/en/education/library-media-center/places-to-visit-tourist-attractions-of-singapore/item/261-spectra-wonder-full-light-water-show |archive-date=6 May 2025 |work=Singapore Academy of Corporate Management |access-date=6 May 2025 }}

In 2010, about one month before Marina Bay Sands opened, Reuters reported that Marina Bay Sands had links with Hong Kong criminal organizations operating in Macau, according to court documents of a case of attempted murder. Several gangsters of the criminal group Wo Hop To, were sentenced to jail for the attempted murder. Witnesses testified that the mastermind was Cheung Chi-tai, who operates a VIP room related to the murder attempt. Cheung is also a leader of the same criminal group. Opposition parties, such as the National Solidarity Party, and media commentators, raised concerns about the links with criminal organisations.{{Cite web |title=NewspaperSG - Business Times, 3 April 2010 |url=http://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/issue/biztimes20100403 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211101052418/https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/issue/biztimes20100403 |archive-date=1 November 2021 |access-date=30 August 2021 |website=eresources.nlb.gov.sg |language=en-SG }}{{Cite web |date=5 April 2010 |title=NSP expresses concerns about Sands' links to criminal gangs |url=https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2010/04/06/nsp-expresses-concerns-about-sands-links-to-criminal-gangs/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210826041905/https://www.theonlinecitizen.com/2010/04/06/nsp-expresses-concerns-about-sands-links-to-criminal-gangs/ |archive-date=26 August 2021 |access-date=30 August 2021 |website=The Online Citizen Asia |language=en-GB }}{{Cite news |last=Ng |first=Kai Ling |date=17 January 2011 |title=Sands stops publicising lucky punters: Webpages taken down after Govt promises action following MP's query |url=https://news.smu.edu.sg/sites/news.smu.edu.sg/files/wwwsmu/news_room/smu_in_the_news/2011/sources/ST_20110118_1.pdf |access-date=24 May 2024 |work=The Straits Times |pages=B1 }}

In June 2020, it was reported that Marina Bay Sands was under investigation by the US Department of Justice over alleged breaches of anti-money laundering regulations.{{Cite web|date=5 June 2020 |title=Marina Bay Sands casino under probe in S'pore and US: Report |url=https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/marina-bay-sands-casino-in-singapore-under-probe-over-money-laundering |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210810164840/https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/marina-bay-sands-casino-in-singapore-under-probe-over-money-laundering |archive-date=10 August 2021 |access-date=5 June 2020 |website=The Straits Times}}

In 2011, Marina Bay Sands announced it would stop publicising details of winners and the amount of their winnings on its website. Minister for Community Development, Youth, and Sports, Vivian Balakrishnan had earlier stated in Parliament that his ministry would take steps to stop such publicity. The web pages in question were titled "Celebrate With the Winners" and "Mystery Car Jackpot", and included the names of the jackpot winners, which machines they had used, and the amount of their winnings. Although it had previously stated that it had operated in accordance with applicable law, the casino subsequently took down the relevant web pages and said it would stop such future publicity.{{Cite news |last=Erheriene |first=Ese |date=3 March 2017 |title=The Hunt for the Mysterious Big Winner at Las Vegas Mogul's New China Casino |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-hunt-for-the-mysterious-big-winner-at-las-vegas-moguls-new-china-casino-1488537009 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211029070553/https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-hunt-for-the-mysterious-big-winner-at-las-vegas-moguls-new-china-casino-1488537009 |archive-date=29 October 2021 |access-date=30 August 2021 |work=Wall Street Journal |language=en-US |issn=0099-9660 }}

In late 2011, Marina Bay Sands had a dispute with Choo Hong Eng, on whether she was entitled to winnings which a slot machine had allegedly shown that she had won SGD 416,721.12 on 18 October 2011. A casino manager claimed that it was a machine error. During negotiations, the casino offered to give her a car which was worth SGD 258,962 instead. Choo appointed a lawyer to demand that Marina Bay Sands pay her the whole sum. Several days later, the casino agreed to pay her the full amount.

The Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore censured the casino for failing to keep its machine operating properly, although it ultimately found that the casino had not intentionally sought to deceive Choo or deprive her of her prize.{{Cite web |title=Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa fined by Casino Regulatory Authority |url=https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/marina-bay-sands-and-resorts-world-sentosa-fined-casino-regulatory-authority |access-date=24 May 2024 |website=The Edge Malaysia |archive-date=24 May 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240524010840/https://theedgemalaysia.com/article/marina-bay-sands-and-resorts-world-sentosa-fined-casino-regulatory-authority |url-status=live }}
