The casino scene in Singapore is booming and thanks to the opening of new casino resorts this year, the city is benefiting from an influx of tourists taking a holiday in Singapore.

In May, 946,000 people took a holiday in Singapore, 30% more than the figures that were recorded at the same time last year. By 2015, Singapore hopes to double its visitor arrivals to 17 million. It’s easy to see why tourists are favouring a casino holiday in Singapore - they don’t scrimp on details or luxury.

Marina Bay Sands, which officially opened on 23 June 2010, is a plush hotel and casino that was built with pure indulgence in mind. The casino is set over three floors, combining 1,600 slot machines with a range of table games. When the casino opened, visitor numbers exceeded expectations, and in the near future, they could receive up to 150,000 guests a day.

The casino at Marina Bay Sands is not the only thing that the hotel has going for it. Guests will also have the chance to see Disney’s The Lion King on stage or glide along in a boat in the middle of the shopping complex! The Sands Sky Park on the roof of the building provides spectacular views across the city - there’s even a sky-high garden with trees and a dipping pool.

Or there’s the Resorts World Sentosa - an ideal spot for a casino holiday in Singapore. Relax in the Lake of Dreams, a fire, water, light and musical extravaganza, or watch a world class theatrical circus show before settling down in one of the world’s newest gaming halls.

If you decide to take a holiday in Singapore to experience the lavish casinos they have on offer, don’t forget to pack appropriate dress as some have a strict dress code.
