Japan’s upcoming project likely to prompt Korea to move more quickly: experts

Editor’s note

This is the first in a three-part series on growing competition in Asia for development of integrated resorts and advice for Korea to boost its tourism industry. — ED.

By Lee Hae-rin

Following Singapore’s success with integrated resorts, Asian countries have been eager to develop similar mega entertainment complexes to attract visitors and stimulate economic growth.

In April 2005, Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong announced the cabinet’s decision to develop two casinos, along with hotels and malls, in Marina South and Sentosa.

The government said the project was aimed to boost Singapore’s tourism industry, which was facing intense competition from neighboring cities like Bangkok, Hong Kong and Macao. Additionally, Malaysia’s casino theme park on Genting Highlands had been drawing Singaporean tourists.

In addition to the casinos, the Singaporean integrated resorts included other amenities, including hotels, restaurants, shopping and convention centers and entertainment facilities such as theme parks.

As a result, the projects brought over 11,500 and 7,000 new jobs in Marina Bay Sands and Sentosa, respectively, generating between 25 billion and 26 billion Singaporean dollars ($18.6 billion and $19.3 billion) in tourism revenues as of 2023.

Before the opening of the mega resort complexes, Singapore received around 9.7 million inbound tourists per year. However, when the two integrated resorts opened in 2010, the figure increased by 20.2 percent from a year before to 11.6 million.

Although the number plummeted to 2.7 million in 2020 due…

Whether Chief Many Hearts Or U.S. Treasurer, Lynn Malerba’s Name Signifies Influence

Lynn Malerba, one of the members of the 2024 50 Over 50: Impact list, is the first woman to lead the Mohegan Tribe in nearly 300 years and the first Native American to oversee the production and distribution of currency in U.S. history.

By Erin Spencer Sairam, Forbes Staff

Lynn Malerba’s name appears, in minuscule cursive, on the bills in our wallets, cash registers and banks around the country. As Treasurer of the United States, Malerba “signs” every piece of American currency; she and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen are legally required to do so to make legal tender. It’s easy to pay for your groceries without noticing Malerba’s well-practiced loops, but behind her small signature is a larger-than-life story.

Lynn Malerba

In the lead-up to her name-signing in September 2022, Malerba knew she’d be making history. It would mark both the first time a Native American person would be the U.S. Treasurer and also the first time that the names of two women—Malerba’s and Yellen’s—would appear on U.S. currency. A longtime nurse trained in scribbling patient charts on the go, Malerba practiced a lot to get it right. She also made the decision to sign her name Lynn Roberge Malerba, intentionally including her maiden name to honor her parents, who’d struggled to make ends meet while raising seven children. To have their name on American currency was a full-circle moment, and when she first saw the printed money, she cried.

“My family is just so proud, and what could be better than making not only your immediate family proud, but your larger Mohegan family proud, and Indian country proud?” Malerba says.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Treasurer Marilynn Malerba hold notes with their signatures at the…

Cantab Hall, “George Nap” in Pocono sweep – U.S. Trotting News

Wilkes-Barre, PA – Driver George Napolitano Jr. teamed with sons of Cantab Hall to sweep the $15,000 trotting features Monday afternoon (July 220 at Pocono Downs at Mohegan Pennsylvania, and in his seasonlong duel with Matt Kakaley Napolitano has reclaimed the top spot in the mountain track’s standings.

Capricious One covered a lot of extra ground in winning the 1:54.4 faster division, being parked with cover to a :28 quarter, then making the lead not that far before a :57.1 half. The winning gelding hit the three-quarters in 1:25.4 and opened a big lead turning for home, which he needed because favored Mt Bluebird was coming on wide, making up ground with every step. But Capricious One held on by three parts of a length while taking a new mark for trainer Jenny Melander and owners Melander Racing Inc., Noonan Harness Racing LLC, and Suojalampi Stable Inc. (“Suojalampi” being a popular lake for fishing in Finland).

The other feature saw Napolitano bring in the sophomore gelding Soncando, who has now won two of his last three after a 1:57 victory for trainer Clifton Green and owner Robert Allison Jr. Soncando yielded to sit in the pocket, then utilized the Pocono Pike in holding off Mischievous G by a neck.

Tyler Buter and George Napolitano Jr. both won three races on the Monday card.

Tuesday’s 1 p.m. weekending card has a strong $17,000 pacing feature for developing horses that could flirt with the 1:50 mark under ideal conditions. Free Pocono programs are or will be available at www.phha.org.

Ex-NYC Exec: Son’s Death Should Exclude Mohegan’s Bid

Mohegan Sun casino

Mohegan Sun-owner Mohegan Gaming is trying to get a downstate NYC casino license, but one former state official does not think it deserves one. [Image: Shutterstock.com]

A tragic incident

In New York City, major gambling operators are vying for a lucrative casino license. Tribal organization Mohegan Gaming is one such entity, although a former city executive has argued that a personal tragedy at the tribe’s casino should exclude it from the conversation.

Kamal Bherwani worked as Chief Information Officer for Health and Human Services for former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. His son, Ethan Bherwani, died at Mohegan Gaming’s Mohegan Sun casino in Connecticut on May 18 this year.

didn’t receive any medical attention until 11 minutes after his collapse

The former NYC exec claims his son could have survived the incident had he received immediate help from staff. Instead, a video of the incident, released by the New York Post, shows Ethan falling from his blackjack chair at around 2am. He didn’t receive any medical attention until 11 minutes after his collapse.

The 22-year-old was eventually taken to hospital but was pronounced brain dead and died nine days later. He had fentanyl, cocaine, marijuana, and alcohol in his system.

Father blames casino

Bherwani has blamed Mohegan Sun for negligence in relation to his son’s death. “If they had gotten to him in three minutes, he’d be completely alive,” he told the Post. “My son was going to law school. He was cooped up during the pandemic and celebrating his graduation; he made a mistake… but it should not have cost him his life.”

A casino worker did check on Ethan after about four minutes, but from a few meters away. Once the Mohegan Tribe’s medics arrived 11 minutes…

Betting on a Closer in Jim Dandy Stakes Loaded With Speed

The $500,000, Grade 2 Jim Dandy Stakes Presented by Mohegan Sun at Saratoga Race Course isn’t a Grade 1 race, but the recent roster of winners reads like “who’s who” of top-class racehorses. The last three editions have been won by past or future champions Forte (2023), Epicenter (2022), and Essential Quality (2021), while the 2020 edition went to future Dubai World Cup winner Mystic Guide.

The 2024 Jim Dandy this Saturday appears primed to produce a winner of similar acclaim. Although only six horses were entered in the 1 1/8-mile race, three of them are Grade 1 winners, including one who is a champion and one who is a Triple Crown race winner. The small field notwithstanding, the Jim Dandy is shaping up as the most exciting race of the weekend.

Any analysis must begin with #6 Fierceness, the brilliant but inconsistent champion 2-year-old male of 2023. On his best day, Fierceness is fantastic — remember his championship-defining victory in the 2023 FanDuel Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Presented by Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance, in which he crushed Grade 1 winners Muth, Locked, and Timberlake by 6 1/4 lengths? And don’t forget about his demolition of the Grade 1 Curlin Florida Derby Presented by Hill ‘n’ Dale Farms at Xalapa, in which he defeated eight opponents by a record-breaking 13 1/2 lengths.

But Fierceness doesn’t always produce his top-tier effort. In the Grade 1 Champagne Stakes last fall, he started as a heavy favorite but faded badly to finish seventh. In between the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile and Florida Derby, he was beaten to third place in the Grade 3 Holy Bull Stakes. And though…
