The occasion was officiated by Singapore’s Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong; Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu; and Las Vegas Sands co-founder Dr Miriam Adelson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Goldstein, and President and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Dumont.

Robert Goldstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Las Vegas Sands, said: “With its opening in 2010, our founder Sheldon G. Adelson embarked on a journey in Singapore with Marina Bay Sands and the people of Singapore that promised to change the face of tourism in the region. Fifteen years later, we have delivered on these ambitions and more. Marina Bay Sands is the world’s most successful integrated resort in history, and the gold standard in the industry. It has been truly incredible to witness Mr Adelson’s vision come to life, and we are proud to carry his legacy forward with today’s groundbreaking ceremony for our new development here.  We have every intention of delivering a product that will be the envy of the hospitality industry and ushers in a new era of luxury tourism in Singapore.”

When completed, the new development is set to redefine industry standards further and push boundaries in the realms of luxury tourism, hospitality and entertainment, curating the finest and most exclusive suite of experiences for travellers. 

The pioneering project will feature a soaring 570-suite luxury hotel tower capped with signature rooftop and dining experiences, luxury retail boutiques, gaming, holistic spa and wellness amenities, and approximately 200,000 square feet of premium meeting space. A purpose-built 15,000-seat arena situated against the stunning backdrop of Marina Bay aims to enhance the live entertainment scene in Asia.

Proving to be another extraordinary feat of engineering, the new property is being designed by the acclaimed Safdie Architects, led by Moshe Safdie—the visionary firm behind Marina Bay Sands’ world-renowned design.

A World Beyond

Rotated at a 45-degree angle to frame panoramic views of both the Marina Bay and the Singapore Strait, the 55-storey hotel tower rises with its twin wings curving outward as they ascend toward the sky. 

Taking inspiration from the island’s lush urban greenery, the development will see biophilic designs being integrated throughout the building along with a significant proportion of green amenities. 

The crowning achievement of the hotel tower is the revolutionary 76,000-square-foot Skyloop — a breathtaking haven that intuitively combines both elevated public and private spaces.

As a counterpart to the iconic Sands SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands, the Skyloop’s form is defined by overlapping elliptical volumes that spiral in opposing directions, giving the tower an overall dynamic quality, and affording 360-degree views.  The lower Skyloop interweaves several points of public access, including an observatory, destination restaurants and lush rooftop gardens. Above, hotel guests can enjoy secluded experiences: private cabanas, infinity-edge pools and shading palms. There will also be a cantilevered wellness terrace that is designed for yoga, arts and specialty events.

Situated adjacent to the hotel tower, the podium serves as a bustling hotspot for business, entertainment and cultural exchange. At its core is a 15,000-seat state-of-the-art arena being helmed by global design firm Populous—responsible for some of the world’s most recognisable entertainment venues, including the Sphere in Las Vegas and the O2 Arena in London.

Specially designed to host the highest calibre of regional and international touring acts, concerts and large-scale live events, the venue will be optimised for unparalleled acoustics, sightlines and production flexibility. 

The venue will also be integrated with new and existing developments within the Marina Bay precinct for greater efficiency and pedestrian connectivity, providing direct access to Bayfront MRT station and linkways between Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay.

More than 220 guests attended the groundbreaking event tonight, which featured captivating performances by homegrown artist Jasmine Sokko and Canadian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Henry Lau. The lavish affair was accompanied by a curated culinary experience from Marina Bay Sands’ signature restaurants, including a taste preview of upcoming Cantonese restaurant Jin Ting Wan.

To commemorate the occasion, Marina Bay Sands was illuminated in a wash of golden hues—a stunning public spectacle that spanned the entire property from its three towers and the SkyPark Observation Deck to the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre. 

In celebration of the milestone year of SG60, Marina Bay Sands also commissioned a cinematic tribute to the nation. Titled “Nothing Comes by Chance“, the film by local director Kirsten Tan reflects on Singapore’s commitment to shaping a bright future, underscored by resilience, ambition and constant reinvention that parallels Marina Bay Sands’ growth and spirit. It features prominent Singaporean talents who have helped define its global presence across arts, culture, sports and entertainment, such as Tan Kheng Hua, Quah Zheng Wen, Pierre Png and Jasmine Sokko—offering a heartfelt ode to the nation.

Shaping a Greener Horizon 

In line with Marina Bay Sands’ global strategy Sands ECO360, sustainability will remain at the heart of the new building’s architecture and operations.

Different approaches towards designing shade for guest comfort and reduced energy consumption are being explored. This includes a self-shading façade system that utilises high-performance glazing and internal blinds to lower direct solar heat transfer and improve energy efficiency. Each suite will have its own private terrace and garden, while outdoor dining venues will be fitted with canopies to shield guests from the elements. Tree species native to the Southeast Asian region will also be planted where possible, paying tribute to the development’s prime location.

As construction works proceed, best practices will be adopted including the use of materials with reduced environmental impact such as low-carbon concrete and recycled steel to lower the project’s upfront environmental footprint. A construction waste management plan has also been set in place, where on-site segregation and recycling will be implemented and at least 75 per cent of construction waste will be diverted to significantly reduce landfill disposal. 

Towards New Heights 

Since its inception, Marina Bay Sands has become an iconic symbol of Singapore, transforming the nation’s tourism landscape as a leading leisure, business and entertainment destination in Asia. It hosted a record-breaking 2,200 events last year, drawing 1.2 million MICE delegates. In March this year, the property welcomed its 500 millionth visitor.

With more than 12,000 Team Members directly employed by the integrated resort and 92 per cent of procurement spent on local businesses in 2024, it has also contributed to Singapore’s economy through the creation of new jobs and support for homegrown small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). These figures are set to rise in the coming years as Marina Bay Sands expands its operations in Singapore. 

“Over the years, Marina Bay Sands has been integral in strengthening Singapore’s position as a major tourism powerhouse. By the time our new ultra-luxury development is complete, Las Vegas Sands will have invested more than US$15 billion since we started operations in Singapore in 2010. This speaks volumes of our confidence in this region, and the potential that we continue to see in Singapore,” said Patrick Dumont, President and Chief Operating Officer of Las Vegas Sands.   

“We are privileged to have benefited over the past 15 years from factors that make Singapore great – excellent infrastructure, and a strong and supportive government with a forward-looking vision.”

Mr Dumont added: “We are proud of the transformative impact that Marina Bay Sands has had and are highly optimistic about building on this strong foundation. Our new development will raise the bar and redefine the ultra-luxury hospitality realm on a global scale, fuelling further growth of high-value tourism while our state-of-art arena will attract the world’s most popular performers and usher in a new era of live entertainment in the region. We look forward to forging a new chapter together and continuing to contribute meaningfully to Singapore’s future success.”

Insta360 Summer Update: Powerful New Tools for Creators

LOS ANGELES, July 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Since launching our flagship camera, Insta360 X5, we’ve been listening to your feedback and working hard to improve the product experience. The Summer Update brings together a series of innovations that make X5 more powerful, versatile, and intuitive than ever before.

From intelligent new features like AdaptiveTone to hardware upgrades including the Ultra Battery, every enhancement is designed to solve real creative challenges. Whether you’re a professional filmmaker, adventure creator, or passionate hobbyist, these updates will transform how you capture and share your world.

Why X5 Stands Apart
What makes X5 truly special is the level of creative freedom it offers. While traditional cameras force you to choose your frame in the moment, X5 captures your entire surroundings, giving you unlimited flexibility to:

  • Focus on living in the moment—no need to worry about framing.
  • Reframe one shot in endless ways, from cinematic wide angles to intimate close-ups and dynamic overhead angles.
  • Preserve complete 360 memories to revisit from every perspective.
  • Create multiple versions of the same moment for different platforms.

Now, with these latest updates, we’re enhancing every aspect of that workflow to make X5 a true creative powerhouse. So, here are the key improvements that will take your X5 experience to the next level.

AdaptiveTone: Smart Exposure in Complex Lighting
For scenes with dramatic lighting contrasts, like shooting through a doorway where one side is sunlit and the other shadowed, it can be a struggle for dual-lens cameras like X5 to balance the exposure across both lenses.

To solve this, we’ve developed a revolutionary new system: AdaptiveTone. By independently recording light data for both lenses, it preserves highlight and shadow detail across the entire spherical image, and automatically adjusts the exposure based on the perspective you choose. The result? Natural-looking footage in situations that would typically require compromises or extensive post-production.

AdaptiveTone is available in 8K30fps and 5.7K30fps 360 Video, PureVideo, and more.

PureVideo Now in Single-Lens Mode
PureVideo powers X5’s impressive low-light performance and is now available in Single-Lens Mode, having previously been for 360 video only.

This expansion means creators can capture stunning low-light footage with reduced noise and enhanced color fidelity, whether shooting traditional flat videos or immersive 360 content.

Enhanced Battery Performance
X5 now delivers significantly extended shooting times thanks to three key improvements:

  • Endurance Mode now available in 8K – this delivers just under two hours of continuous recording at the maximum resolution of 8K30fps—ideal for documenting complete events or performances.
  • Improved Endurance Mode for 5.7K – runtime has increased to 208 minutes from the previous 185, when shooting at 5.7K24fps.
  • New Ultra Battery – for creators needing extra power, the new 2800mAh Ultra Battery delivers 17% longer runtime at just under 4 hours*! This is available to purchase for just US$49.99.

*235 minute run time tested in 77°F (25°C) lab environment, 5.7K24fps 360 Video Mode in Endurance Mode. Battery life may vary under different conditions. Requires the latest firmware.

New X5 ND Filters: Cinematic Control for 360 Video
Create cinematic motion blur and get perfect exposure with the first ND filters designed for a 360 camera.

The X5 ND Filters Set (ND16, ND32, ND64) gives you complete control in any lighting condition, ideal for conveying speed in motorcycle footage or achieving professional-looking motion effects. Like lens guards, they attach securely and remove easily when you need to switch them out for different shots.

Make It Yours: New X5 Custom Replacement Lens Kit
Now you can personalize your X5 with custom-designed lenses. Choose from pre-made patterns, upload your own images, or generate AI artwork—then swap out the standard lenses in seconds.

Availability varies by region so check on the Insta360 Store for more info.

Motorcycle Filmmaking Solutions
The Summer Update contains lots of exciting news for the motorcycle community:

New & Exclusive X5 BMW Motorrad Edition
Insta360 has teamed up with BMW Motorrad to bring out a limited edition Insta360 X5 BMW Motorrad Edition, complete with custom BMW Motorrad features, designs and gear.

This limited edition bundle includes new accessories such as the Mini Remote, a handy tool to control the camera without moving your hands off the handlebars. It also comes with the new Ultra Battery pre-installed to power through those longer rides.

Other Motorcycle-Specific Enhancements

  • Immersive Shake Stabilization: Preserves just enough natural shake and tilt in your footage to authentically convey speed and terrain, while maintaining smooth, watchable results. Available now in Insta360 Studio, and coming soon for the Insta360 app.
  • Sena Headset Integration: Start/stop recording and use voice commands through compatible Sena helmet systems for completely hands-free operation. It can also record the chat with your riding buddies via the group intercom and overlay on the footage.
  • Plate Blur: Automatically obscures your license plate in your footage with just a few taps—no manual editing required.
  • New GPS Preview Remote with Built-In Mic: New all-in-one “mount anywhere” remote combines four essential tools: camera control, live preview, GPS data recording, and a noise-canceling microphone.

Together, these updates make X5 the most motorcycle-friendly Insta360 camera yet.

Underwater Filming Advancements
There’s great news for divers too on both the hardware and software front:

  • New Invisible Dive Case Pro – improves underwater image quality through advanced optical design. This isn’t available to purchase just yet but it’s coming soon!
  • New buoyancy control accessory – a stationary, underwater drone! Adjust the buoyancy so X5 floats in the water for easy, hands-free capture. This one’s also in the pipeline, so stay tuned for updates on the launch date.
  • AquaVision 3.0 – the algorithm now analyzes the footage and provides a selection of color adjustment options that best match the shot. You’ll get better-looking underwater shots without the hassle of adjusting the colors yourself! Available to try now in the app and Studio.
  • Connect X5 to your SUUNTO dive computer – lets you overlay real-time data into your videos. A great way to relive your dive with all the depth, time, and performance info baked right into the footage.

Faster, Easier Editing for Mobile and Desktop

For desktop users, we’ve applied multiple updates to the Insta360 Studio software since X5’s launch, with updates such as improved export speed, background export, and improvements to the AI Stitching algorithm. Check out all the key improvements here.

But one update we’d like to highlight is the new Quick Preview function. You can now preview insv files in their folder on your computer, without opening them in Studio. This is a huge timesaver when working with lots of clips, as you can do a quick preview to make sure it’s the right one, then get to work on the edit.

The release of X5 also saw a huge revamp for the Insta360 app, designed to simplify the 360 editing process. This is being continuously refined and includes several key improvements, such as a new smart grid layout on the Album page, a revamped Preview page with new editing tools such as preset perspectives, and much more. For all the info on that, check out our guide here.

Insta360+ Cloud Service – Get More From Your Insta360

The Insta360+ cloud service (launched earlier this year) transforms the Insta360 experience with up to 2TB cloud storage, auto file backup, cloud edit and export, and more. Currently available for X5, X4, and X3 footage, we’re working on expanding this to further product lines, so stay tuned for more on that.

An important update for subscribers who own an X5 is that you can now access all your Insta360+ footage in Insta360 Studio, allowing full cloud access whether you’re on a hardcore desktop edit or editing on the go in the Insta360 app.

For anyone who hasn’t subscribed yet, if you purchase an X5 or X5 BMW Motorrad Edition and activate before July 21st, you’ll get 200GB of free cloud storage with Insta360+ for 6 months, plus access to all the features. Existing owners can subscribe any time via the Insta360 app or online store.
