Marina Bay Sands, Singapore


My last trip to Singapore, I passed my Marina Bay Sands.
I was suppose to visit it the next day but could not do so,due to time constraints.So I came back and did a lil research on it & I found quite a lot of interesting stuff bout it.
Its Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion (US$5.7 billion)<- dats hell lot of money !
Even KLCC, one of the worlds tallest twins towers costs only US$1.6 billion
Well, after all its like Singapore vs Malaysia & we all know who's d winner :P


► The resort features a 2,560-room hotel
► 120,000 sq.m. convention-exhibition center
► The Shopping mall
► Art & Science museum
► 2 Sands Theaters
► 6 "celebrity chef" restaurants
► 2 floating pavilions
► Casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines
► Topped by a 340m-long SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people

The resort was officially opened with a two-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening earlier in April. It was, however, not finished at the time of the April opening, which was marked by numerous service failures.The museum, theaters and floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by December 2010.
