Crazy Singapore

Marina Bay Sands

Developed by a company from Las Vegas, Marina Bay Sands is the world's most expensive casino with a cost of 8 billions dollars.

It has a shape of boat with on top a giant swimming pool, the longest in the world at this altitude.

Three buildings support the boat shaped roof, the Casino which is located at the center and the two other buildings are hotels.

This construction is part of a big plan of investment in order to attract tourists in the city.


Sentosa island

Sentosa, which translates to "peace and tranquility" in Malay, is a popular island resort in Singapore, visited by some five million people a year.

Attractions include a two-kilometre long sheltered beach, two golf courses and two five-star hotels, and the theme park Universal Studios.

  3. Marina Bay Sands seems quite original, but I don't really like it. It looks like a banana on top of buildings. Maybe I'm not the kind of person that appreciates this type of architecture.
