What Is Marina Bay Sands?
Marina Bay Sands is the integrated resort that became Singapore's icon — three towers topped by the ship-shaped SkyPark. It brings together a 2,500-plus-room hotel, The Shoppes mall, a convention centre, the ArtScience Museum and a large casino.
For travellers from Thailand it's one of the easiest casinos in the region to reach: about 2.5 hours' flight and under 30 minutes by taxi from Changi Airport.

Highlights Beyond the Casino
SkyPark and the Infinity Pool
The 57th-floor infinity pool is for hotel guests only. If you're not staying, buy a ticket to the SkyPark Observation Deck for 360-degree city views.
Waterfront Light Show
Every evening the free Spectra light, water and music show plays on the promenade outside the mall — and Gardens by the Bay is just a short walk away.
Best Time to Go
Weekday afternoons are the quietest, and table minimums are usually lower than on Friday and Saturday nights. For the buzz, go after 8 p.m.
