The Marina Bay Sands – it’s hard to miss when you visit Singapore. It’s this looming building at the south-eastern end of Marina Bay with its three tall towers seemingly precariously holding up its observation deck. Architectural marvel, a monstrosity of an eye-sore or otherwise, it’s definitely hard to deny that this large hotel, casino, shopping, entertainment and basically everything hub is impressive at first sight. Walking in, you get a taste of the over-the-top opulence that you can expect from a Vegas style complex – not surprising considering it was developed by Las Vegas Sands at a whopping cost of $8 billion dollars.
