Marina Bay Sands - Casino

Inside at a corner of the The Shoppes of Marina Bay Sands is the Casino.

The casino is very popular with many. Foreigners can go in free of charge to gamble while Singaporeans need to pay a levy of $100 to enter (valid for 24 hours) or $2000 for annual entry levy. Those under 21 are not allowed to enter.

Security is tight and anxious at the entrance of the Casino. If any Singaporeans managed to sneak in without paying the levy, the casino has to pay a fine.

I did not pay $100 just to enter and have a look and neither did I wanted to gamble. Even when I was overseas, I dont have any interest to gamble. The most I did was to donate money at the jackpot slot machines....lol.

MarinaBaySands - The Shoppes Part 2

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is so huge and not all the shops are open, I was so tired just walking around the place.

The signboard tells you all, there's the celebrity restaurants, Expo and Convention Centre, Casino, Hotel, etc.

There are two basements of shopping, I think. A lot of places boarded up so I cant really tell...lol.

There are shops that sold branded goods but there are just as many shops that are affordable to the average shoppers. So if you are around Marina, do pop over here to do some shopping or window shopping. It is a nice place just to shop or have meals/coffee with your friends.

The food court at the basement, very small and not enough seats. I think when completed, there's a bigger food court. It will be silly if there's no bigger food court in this big complex cause not everyone wanted to eat in restaurants.

This is a small stream in The Shoppes. There will be boats for those who loves to take a ride in it. I guess you got to pay for it. It is not completed yet.

My World Tuesday - Marinabaysands - The Shoppes (Part 1)

Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort that comprises of hotels, expo and convention centre, casino, celebrity chef restaurants, eating outlets, shopping centre, museums, etc. It is developed by Las Vegas Sands. Marina Bay Sands is the world's second-costliest casino.

Las Vegas Sands named the project as one of the world's most challenging construction projects and certainly the most expensive stand-alone integrated resort property ever built.

For more information on MarinaBaySands, you can view from wikipedia.

This is the inside of The Shoppes of MarinaBaySands. Look how huge it is. I am so impressed.

Wait till you see the hotels of MarinaBaySands (photos of Hotel - coming soon in this blog).

Many of the shops are still not open and under going renovation.
The roof of The Shoppes is really huge and it is energy saving in that sunlight can come into the shopping area and lights are not really needed during the day.

Looked at the circled area in red. There are some construction workers walking on the roof top still doing some renovation works.

What's behind the poster?

Continued from yesterday's post about what's behind the poster. The below photo is part of the poster where I peek through the window. This is what's behind the poster. The final part of the bridge where I am standing.

The bridge where I am standing is very impressive and very very expensive. I will post about the bridge in future post cause I wanted to tell you where the bridge leads to.

The above photo with the window is the same window that's in the poster in the below photo.

The bridge leads to The Shoppes at Marina Bay. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, boasting over 800,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, is Singapore's first large-scale luxury shopping destination. It is part of the MarinaBaySands which comprises of the shopping centre, casino and hotel.

You can find more information from their official website. You can see from their website how big the shoppe is. I will post about the Shoppe in tomorrow's post with photos.

The Shoppes is not fully completed but they will be completed very soon. But the internal of the Shoppes is already open for business.

More photos of The Shoppes coming in tomorrow's post.

What are they peeking at?

What are these people peeking? Actually these people are not real people. From far, I thought I saw people peeking into the windows but when approaching the huge poster, these people are part of the poster's drawings.

Something big and expensive is behind the poster. That's why I was so tired (mentioned in yesterday's post), after walking around the area.

You got to return to find out more about it as I try to sort out the photos in order.
