Marina Bay Sands

Marina Bay Sands, originally uploaded by Swami Stream.

This is the picture of the new integrated resort thats under construction called the Marina Bay Sands. The Marina Bay Sands is billed as a centrepiece of the Marina Bay landscape when completed in 2009. Las Vegas Sands had committed the highest development investment of S$3.85 billion. With the land price and associated capital cost, its total investment will exceed S$5 billion.[6] It would also be one of the most expensive casinos in the world. The design, by Moshe Safdie consists of three large shells containing conference halls and other business venues, three large hotel towers linked on their top floors by a sweeping sky garden, and a centerpiece museum which juts out onto the bay. This will have 55 stories and 2500 luxury rooms with a boat shaped sky view. Also has a unique museum and luxury shopping and state of the art gaming facilities. I even heard the local cabbie say it will cost S$ 100 to just enter the place as deterrent by the government to discourage local people to gamble here . The one at Sentosa has already opened during the Chinese new year will be interesting to see how it looks when done. They have a site already for it www.marinabaysands.com/en/index.html

During a parliament session on 18 April 2005, Lee Hsien Loong, the prime minister of Singapore, announced the cabinet’s decision to develop two casinos and associated hotels and malls in Marina South and Sentosa.[1]
The government claims the aim of the project is to boost Singapore’s tourism industry which has been facing intense competition from other destinations around the region, particularly from nearby Bangkok and Hong Kong, which has since also considered legalization of casinos in the wake of initiatives in Singapore. Even closer to home, Malaysia has long had a legal casino cum theme park on Genting Highlands, which proved popular with Singaporean tourists. The IRs in Singapore are expected to create about 35,000 jobs directly and indirectly. In addition to the casinos, the IRs will have other amenities including hotels, restaurants, shopping and convention centers, theaters, museums and theme parks.
