Atlantic City could strengthen its casino tourism business by better connecting entertainment, dining, events, and trip planning, according to a Nov. 11 analysis from Breaking AC News. The article points to Singapore and Macau as examples of destinations that combine gambling with a broader visitor experience.
The analysis also cites a New Jersey Casino Control Commission report saying online gaming revenue surpassed in-person casino revenue in 2025, providing context for its focus on attractions beyond the casino floor.
Singapore’s two integrated resorts, Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands, combine gaming with hotels, dining, shopping, attractions, and conventions.
According to the Singapore Tourism Board, as cited by Breaking AC News, the resorts have committed substantial investment to expansion plans. Those plans include new attractions at Resorts World Sentosa and an entertainment arena at Marina Bay Sands.
Macau’s resort development similarly places restaurants, retail, and entertainment around gaming properties. The analysis cites Macau’s Statistics and Census Service as reporting more than 40 million visitors in 2025 and MOP 80.12 billion in non-gaming visitor spending.
