 I’ll introduce about Marina Bay Sands.


Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. At its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at 8 billions doller, including the land cost. This is composed by 3 skyscrapers connecting each other, top of height is 200m, and 57 storied.

The resort includes a 2,561-room hotel, a 120,000-square-meter Convention and exhibition center . Also, there are the Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, a museum, two large theaters, "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating Crystal Pavilions, a skating rink, and the world's largest casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex is topped by a 340-meter-long Sky Park with a capacity of 3,900 people and a 150m infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67 m.



Originally set to open in 2009, Las Vegas Sands faced delays caused by escalating costs of material from the outset. The global financial crisis also pressured the company to delay its projects elsewhere to complete the integrated resort. Although Marina Bay Sands has been compared in scale and development costs to MGM's City Center, the latter is a mixed use development, with condominium properties being sold off. The resort and Sky Park were officially opened on 23rd and 24th June 2010 as part of a two-day celebration, following the casino's opening on 27th April that year.  The Sky Park opened the following day. The theaters were completed in time for the first performance of Riverdance on 30th November. The indoor skating rink, which uses artificial ice, opened to a performance on 18 December. The Art Science Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water show called Wonder Full on 19th February 2011 marked the full completion of the integrated resort.

The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17th February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The musical The Lion King debuted on 3rd March 2011. The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants, Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club, opened on 18th and 22nd September 2011 respectively.

Next, I’ll talk about INFINITY POOL. According to Marina Bay Sands homepage,

"Imagine yourself floating in the world’s largest rooftop Infinity Pool, gazing down on the glittering city-skyline from 57 levels above as the lines between fantasy and reality blur."

I’ll introduce most expensive suite in Marina Bay Sands. It’s CHAIRMAN SUITE According to Marina Bay Sands homepage, Detail is this.

629 square meters

Choice of black-and-granite or gold-and-earth-toned

4 bedrooms including master bedroom with His and Hers bathrooms

Powder room with adjoining salon

3 furnished balconies

I think this is too gorgeous to accommodate if it is nightmare. However, maybe some billionaires that we can’t image use such this suite like a daily life, of course I don’t know if it is.
