Marina Bay Sands

We make it a point to play in casinos whenever we have the opportunity to be in one. We really don't expect to win but we believe that it is part of the fun to try, especially when Singaporeans have to pay SGD100 just to get into one, while we get in for free. And we get to have bottomless coffee, tea and bottled water. Plus, it was a good place to rest our aching feet. Lots of seats inside. Yes, we didn't really expect to win, but we did. For betting SGD6, we won SGD40 for a return of 567%, not bad isn't it? Especially if it buys us two tickets to the Marina Bay Sands Skypark!




Finally the weather clears after waiting for half an hour. Do not attempt to go up if it's raining, you won't see a thing! They don't allow umbrellas by the way.




Swimming at the infinity pool is only for hotel guests.





Of course, we had to go to The Shoppes! A lot of the shops were still closed but it was huge. By the way, shops close at 12 midnight. Maybe they want to make sure they are open when lucky winners from the casino collect their winnings. Who says Singapore nightlife is boring?

Congrats for winning ;-) How did you get in for free when locals have to pay? Tourists get a free pass?

Hi MS, yes tourists can enter for free. Gambling kasi is discouraged for Singaporeans.
