Marina Bay Sands Casino (Singapore, Singapore)
About the Marina Bay Sands Casino
One of the most upscale districts in Singapore, Marina Bay is enviably located between the calm waters at the mouth of the Singapore River and the Gardens by the Bay, a lush, tropical garden covering 101 hectares. This relatively small part of the city is home to some of Singapore’s most popular attractions, including the glittery Marina Bay Sands Casino. Despite offering an impressive 15,000 square metres of gaming facilities, the casino occupies only about three percent of the Marina Bay Sands resort. Known to locals simply as MBS, the Marina Bay Sands offers some of the finest accommodation, dining, and entertainment in the city. Even those do not care to gamble can bet on having fun here.
Are You Feeling Lucky?
The Marina Bay Sands Casino caters to both high rollers and novice gamblers, with 500 gaming tables and over 30 private gaming rooms, as well an impressive array of electronic gaming machines. There are about 1,600 slot machines on site, with over 250 themes and game titles from which to choose. Before heading out to try your luck on the main gaming floor, take a moment to gaze at the world’s largest chandelier; the stunning fixture features more than 130,000 Swarovski crystals and weighs a little more than seven tons. First-time visitors should also know that the 24-hour casino has a “smart casual” dress code; whether you visit day or night, be sure to leave your shorts, tank tops, and flip-flops in the suitcase.
Visit the Garden in the Clouds
Designed by the world-famous architect Moshe Safdie, the Marina Bay Sands resort has become one of Singapore’s most well-known landmarks. It features three dramatic towers connected, 200 metres up, by the Sands SkyPark; this unique “sky garden” offers an observation deck with panoramic views over the city and the Singapore Strait, as well as a handful of chic bars and restaurants. A visit to the SkyPark tops many a sightseer’s list of things to do in Singapore, but those who are less than enthusiastic about heights will also find lots to see in and around the ground level of this impressive property, including a luxury shopping mall and a lovely waterfront promenade leading to the ArtScience Museum. This striking building is shaped like a lotus flower, and its exhibitions are popular with kids and adults alike. The Marina Bay Sands is also just a few steps away from the Gardens by the Bay, an oasis of calm within this exciting district.
Stay at one of the Best Hotels in the City
The ultra-luxurious Marina Bay Sands Hotel is the largest in Singapore, and the ideal retreat after a night out at the casino. In addition to very well-appointed rooms and suites overlooking the city skyline, the hotel offers an exceptional range of amenities. Chief among these is the stunning 150-metre infinity pool located on the 55th floor of the hotel, on the same level as the SkyPark; this glittering expanse of water extends 65 metres out from the edge of the towers below, offering guests the unique sensation of swimming in mid-air. The Banyan Tree Spa and Club55, an elegant lounge bar, are also located on this floor of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.
