twitterCirque du Soleil may boost chances at Singapore bid
Monday, May 23, 2005 | 9:06 a.m.
MGM Mirage, which is bidding to build a casino resort in downtown Singapore, will use Cirque du Soleil Inc.'s shows to boost its proposal, the Business Times reported, citing Chief Executive Terrence Lanni.
The Las Vegas-based casino operator said 500,000 people have seen its 15 shows in the U.S. gaming hub, generating $500 million in revenue, the paper said, citing Lanni. The company has an exclusive partnership with Montreal-based Cirque, known for its elaborate theatrics in its circus acts.
MGM Mirage would also work with PaceWildenstein Gallery in New York, which features artists such as Jean Debuffet and Pablo Picasso, to bring collections to Singapore, the paper said. The gallery brought in Claude Monet paintings displayed at its Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas, the paper said.
