The proposal, one of 19 competing for government approval, will be an “iconic”’ design that would cost more than twice the $700 million earmarked for a casino it’s building in southern China’s Macau, Kramer said.

Wynn Resorts, MGM Mirage and Las Vegas Sands Inc. are among companies that gave designs to Singapore’s government, which will announce in April whether it will end a ban on casinos to lure tourists and gamblers. The island is within six hours flying time for more than 2.5 billion people in Asia.

“The quandary is whether Stephen Wynn is able to convert his casually elegant Las Vegas-oriented architecture to the kind of design architecture that the Singapore government is seeking,’’ said Jonathan Galaviz, a partner of Galaviz Ong & Co., which tracks the global gaming industry.

Kramer said the Singapore development will complement other properties in the city, declining to elaborate for competitive reasons. It will be consistent with the “contemporary” design of the $2.7 billion resort Wynn Resorts is opening in Las Vegas next month, he said.
