Just recently opening its doors in Singapore is the world’s second most expensive casino ever built; the Marina Bay Sands is a $5.9 billion complex that doesn’t skip out on extreme luxury. There’s no denying the ultra plush appointments of the casino, which include 2,560 hotel rooms, an exhibition centre, an events plaza, a shopping mall, and several different restaurants.
And that’s not even all of it. The Marina Bay Sands will be adding a skypark that’s on the roof, a museum, more stores, and a theatre later this year. The casino hopes to see 17 million visitors a year and make a $21 million profit by 2015.
