Hot on the heels of Macau’s title as the world’s top casino destination is Singapore; a country set to pip Vegas to second place. Though the country only has two casinos, the sheer scale of each is impressive; at least they certainly seem to have impressed the punters, who have embraced Singapore as the new gaming destination of choice.
The stunning edifice of the Marina Bay Sands Resort lights up the sky above the streets of Singapore. The SkyPark sky terrace runs along the top of the complex's three towers and includes a stunning infinity pool, numerous restaurants, gardens and nightclubs perched high over the city, with a 360-degree view of Singapore’s skyline. The complex contains innumerable designer boutiques and several celebrity restaurants, as well as the world’s largest atrium casino. And if that’s not impressive enough for you, the resort boasts the largest light and water show in South-East Asia, an ice rink, and even a canal running through its boutiques, where guests can float through The Shoppes at their leisure on a traditional sampan.
The other casino in Singapore is the Resorts World Sentosa on the island of Sentosa. This integrated resort includes numerous hotels and restaurants, and was one of the most expensive constructions of its kind (almost as pricey as the Marina Bay Sands Resort, and that's saying something!). As well as its huge casino, the resort has a Universal Studios theme park (the first in Asia), boasts one of Asia’s largest sweet shops; Candylicious, and opened Marine Life Park in 2012 which is the world's largest oceanarium and houses the Adventure Life Waterpark and S.E.A. Aquarium.
