NEW YORK, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- During a luncheon today in New York City, Marina Bay Sands(TM) and Chef Daniel Boulud announced that the multiple award-winner will be one of six world renowned chefs featured at the much-anticipated integrated resort complex when it launches in Singapore next year.

"We are delighted and honored to have Chef Boulud join our efforts to create a truly memorable and unique experience at the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore," said Michael Leven, president of Las Vegas Sands Corp. (NYSE: LVS), the parent company of Marina Bay Sands. "The interest and excitement around Marina Bay Sands grows by the day as we announce exclusive offerings, such as a signature restaurant by Daniel Boulud, and as the size, scope, and stunning architecture of the property continues to become such a prominent part of the Singapore skyline and a focal point of Marina Bay."

Earlier this week, Marina Bay Sands and Disney Theatrical Productions announced that the award-winning Broadway musical The Lion King will be featured in one of the resort's state-of-the-art theatres. In addition, leading retailers such as Louis Vuitton, CHANEL, Gucci, Hermes, Ferragamo, and others will occupy the 800,000 square-foot Marina Bay Sands Shoppes.

Chef Boulud, whose New York restaurant DANIEL was recently awarded the prestigious three-stars designation from the Michelin Guide, said he looks forward to spending time in Singapore when he brings a new version of his New York restaurant, DB Bistro Moderne, to Marina Bay Sands.

"I've had the privilege of traveling to Singapore and enjoyed some incredible meals by local chefs. It's a superb city where I discovered a culture with a love of food from every corner of the world. Singapore is a wonderful place for me to create a restaurant in partnership with Las Vegas Sands and the international community of chefs they are bringing together. The Marina Bay Sands will be a great addition to a place that is already a dining destination."

When completed, Marina Bay Sands will feature large and flexible convention and exhibition facilities, approximately 2,500 luxury hotel rooms, the breathtaking rooftop Sands SkyPark, a museum, Las Vegas-style gaming, the Paiza Club for premium players, theatres, entertainment, an outdoor event plaza, and unparalleled shopping and dining.
