A view of the Marina Bay Sands integrated resort in the Marina area of Singapore. The distinctive structure of the hotel along with the Sands SkyPark at the top makes it a distinctive looking building. In front of the hotel, one can see the lighting equipment that is being set up for the Formula One Race that is held in the night in Singapore. This is a view taken from a cruise on the water. The Marina Bay Sands is a integrated resort and a huge complex. It is located at a prime location in Singapore, next to the Marine Bay and is a huge tourist attraction. With its three towers, a unique Skypark located at the top of the 3 towers, and multiple other facilities such as a large casino, a 2500 room hotel, an exhibition center, theaters, an observation platform located at the top of the building, an attractive 146 m infinity pool located at a height of 191 meters above the ground, a museum, and lots of shopping. The casino draws thousands of people every day (even though Singapore residents have to pay to access the casino while entry is free for foreigners). There is a canal running undernear the Marina Bay Sands in the shopping area, and boat rides are offered to tourists (and when we were there, there was a queue for these rides). At the end of the canal, there is a large bowl shaped structure, built by the US artist Ned Kahn. Flowing through a 22 meter wide whirlpool, the water falls 2 stories below to the canal below. The Marina Bay Sands is close to the Singapore Flyer, is on the routes for the sight-seeing bus. Another attraction is the sound and light show that happens in the evening.
