Marina Bay Sands Opens
Singapore: At the auspicious time of 3.18pm on 27 April 2010, Singapore’s second integrated resort opened to the public. After much delays, this is definitely good news for many people, including Singapore travel agents.
Marina Bay Sands cost US$5.5 billion to build and is the world’s second most expensive casino. Early reviews have been mostly positive, with many impressed by the IR’s design.
The second IR is differentiating itself from the Resorts World Sentosa by banking on the conference and exhibitions or MICE sector to bring in the revenue.
This is only the first phase of the opening. Phase two, which includes the opening of more retail stores, the rest of its hotels and iconic rooftop SkyPark, will take place on June 23.
Parking at MBS is expensive: it starts at $8 an hour. But if you have money to spend on gambling, this amount should be peanuts to you.
If you want to go there by MRT, nearest stops are the Marina Bay station or the Promenade Station. Cross The Helix bridge and you’re at the IR.
By bus, you can take the re-routed 97, 106 and 133.
Good luck!
