An integrated resort (IR) is a Singaporean casino-based vacation resort. The term "integrated resort" is a euphemism used because of opposition to casinos. To date, licenses have been awarded to Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa. These are the first casinos in the country and both have begun operation since early 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words integrated and/or resort:
“Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
—Talcott Parsons (1902–1979)
“It is the essence of truth that it is never excessive. Why should it exaggerate? There is that which should be destroyed and that which should be simply illuminated and studied. How great is the force of benevolent and searching examination! We must not resort to the flame where only light is required.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
