Genting Singapore Plc., the unit of Asia’s largest publicly traded gambling operator, will open its casino-resort in phases, starting with the hotels, as it waits for its licence.

There is “no fixed date” for when the company could get its casino licence, Lim Kok Thay, chief executive officer of parent Genting Bhd., said in Singapore today. The shopping malls will probably open after the hotels, followed by the theme park and then the casino, he said.

Genting Singapore’s Resorts World Sentosa opens its Crockford Tower today after the Festive Hotel and Hard Rock Hotel opened two weeks ago. The Hotel Michael started operations on Jan 13.
