陶樂園的家

Built at the reported cost of over US $ 5 billion, the Marina Bay Sands just maybe Singapore's most expansive and expensive integrated resort venture to date. But judging by its many record breaking feats, the superstructure complete with a top-notch integrated resort and casino was well worth the high price tag. Home to a mind blowing casino, world renowned restaurants, bars, clubs and shopping malls perhaps the most exciting dimension to the resort's possibilities lies in its capacity as an entertainment hub in the heart of the city's CBD.

Housing world class conventions, exhibitions and theatre facilities, the Sands is a Mecca for the globe's top acts, shows and entertainment events and it kicks off this October with the landmark event in entertainment, that is the Lion King musical. Having been viewed by nearly 51 million people globally the Disney phenomenon is set to have its premier Southeast Asian showing at the Marina Bay Sands. Having garnered over 70 international awards the highly acclaimed musical directed by Julie Taymor will bring the rhythm of Africa and the beauty of the Serengeti to audiences in Southeast Asia for the first time.

Another highlight at the Sands include the engineering marvel that is its Sky Park which simultaneously serves as an entertainment hub and observation deck with breathtaking views of the city below. Towering above the metropolis at 200 metres in the air, the Sky Park offers 12,400 square meters of space in with a gravity defying infinity edged swimming pool, rooftop gourmet restaurants and lounges in the sky are also available. Home to a sprawling tropical garden with 250 tree species and 650 plant varieties that soars above the cityscape, this mega cantilever also guarantees the best views of Singapore atop its massive space that is as large as three football fields.

Sampan Rides are another unique experience only available at the Sands where guests are transported through the Singapore River and the majestic views of its surroundings. Beautifully crafted in a style that replicates a 17th century Chinese vessel, the journey will commence from the basement canal below The Shoppes at the Sands. Guest should also stop over at the lotus-shaped wonder that is the Art Science Museum where 60,000 square feet will be devoted to awe inspiring design, architectural and technological exhibitions from across the world. Art lovers will also enjoy the Marina Bay Sands Art Path which combines Moshe Safdie's revolutionary architecture with the works of Ned Kahn and Antony Gormley in iconic larger than life pieces scattered all over the Sands.
