Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. At its opening in 2010, it was billed as the world's most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion, including the land cost.[2][3]
The resort includes a 2,561-room hotel, a 120,000-square-metre (1,300,000 sq ft) convention-exhibition centre, the 74,000-square-metre (800,000 sq ft) The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands mall, a museum, two large theatres, "celebrity chef" restaurants, two floating Crystal Pavilions, art-science exhibits, and the world's largest atrium casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines.
The complex is topped by a 340-metre-long (1,120 ft) SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people and a 150 m (490 ft) infinity swimming pool, set on top of the world's largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67 m (220 ft).[4][5] The 20-hectare resort was designed by Moshe Safdie architects.[6][7][8] The architect was Aedas,[9] and they were responsible for employing all consultants and for developing, co-ordinating and implementing the design. Engineering was provided by Arup and Parsons Brinkerhoff (MEP). The main contractor was Ssangyong Engineering and Construction.[10][11]
Originally set to open in 2009, Las Vegas Sands faced delays caused by escalating costs of material and labour shortages from the outset. The global financial crisis also pressured the company to delay its projects elsewhere to complete the integrated resort.[12] Although Marina Bay Sands has been compared in scale and development costs to MGM's CityCenter, the latter is a mixed-use development, with condominium properties (comprising three of the seven main structures) being sold off.[13][14]
The resort and SkyPark were officially opened on 23 and 24 June 2010 as part of a two-day celebration, following the casino's opening on 27 April that year.[15] The SkyPark opened the following day. The theatres were completed in time for the first performance of Riverdance on 30 November. The indoor skating rink, which uses artificial ice, opened to a performance by Michelle Kwan on 18 December. The ArtScience Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water show called Wonder Full on 19 February 2011 marked the full completion of the integrated resort.
The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17 February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The musical The Lion King debuted on 3 March 2011.[16] The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants, Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club, opened on 18 and 22 September 2011, respectively.[17]

The resort was officially opened with a two-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening (which included the casino) on 27 April 2010.[9] The SkyPark opened a day later on 24 June 2010. The theatres were completed in time for the first performance by Riverdance on 30 November 2010. The floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by 2011.

The ArtScience Museum opened to the public and the debut of a 13-minute light, laser and water spectacle called Wonder Full on 19 February 2011 marked the full completion of the entire Integrated Resort.
The grand opening of Marina Bay Sands was held on 17 February 2011. It also marked the opening of the seven celebrity chef restaurants. The highly-anticipated Broadway musical The Lion King debuted on 3 March 2011.[10] The last portion of the Marina Bay Sands, the floating pavilions, were finally opened to the public when the two tenants (Louis Vuitton and Pangaea Club) opened on 18 September 2011 and 22 September 2011 respectively.
About Garden by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay consists of three distinctive waterfront gardens – Bay South, Bay East and Bay Central, spanning a total of 101 hectares. They are set in the heart of Singapore’s new downtown Marina Bay, encircling the Marina Reservoir like a green necklace. The Gardens will complement the array of attractions around Marina Bay.
Gardens by the Bay is an integral part of a strategy by the Singapore government that further transforms Singapore from a ‘Garden City’ to a ‘City in a Garden’, in which the city is woven into a green and floral tapestry. This aims to raise the quality of life in Singapore with a more holistic and all-encompassing programme that enhances greenery and flora in the city. First announced to the public by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong during the National Day Rally in August 2005, Gardens by the Bay will become Singapore’s premier urban outdoor recreation space, and a national icon.
An international competition for the design of the master plan was held in January 2006 to elicit the best designs for the Gardens. This attracted more than 70 entries submitted by 170 firms from 24 countries, from which two firms – Grant Associates and Gustafson Porter – were eventually awarded the master plan design for the Bay South and Bay East Gardens respectively.
The Gardens are being developed in phases. Bay South is currently being constructed and is slated to be completed by June 2012. Bay East has been developed as an interim park in support of the Youth Olympic Games 2010, and is scheduled to open to the public in late 2011 or early 2012. The full master plan implementation of Bay East and the development of Bay Central are part of the next phase of development.

What better to do on a hot and humid day, than to visit a friend with a swimming pool to cool off.
While we are at it... let's have a party and learn some new dances to boot.
Another reworked shot until I get around to processing some more RAW files later this evening. The previously uploaded shot was cropped to a panoramic format, maybe the inclusion of the edge of the pool in the foreground makes more of the pools large size ?

These wonderful clouds were some of the only ones we saw during our weeks stay at the Paloma Club Sultan in Odzere, Turkey but they certainly added to these shots. Sunset at the infinity pool was one of my favourite times of the day, all the people melted away to get ready for dinner and the temperature had started to drop.

Whilst waiting for my daughter to come down the waterslides at the Paloma Club Sultan Hotel I practised on some other people, some of whom happened to be female.

I've heard of the blistering heat right now in the Philippines. Summer is in full swing. Nothing beats it like a jump to this cool infinity pool...at least for awhile. This is another picture taken by my friend. He sent it to me and I did some processing which I kept at minimum. It was already overall, a beautiful picture.

Okay, one last 'Infinity Pool at sunset', it's fair to say I found the this pool at the Paloma Club Sultan hotel in Ozdere, Turkey rather inspiring. Just as well as being a family holiday with my two young daughters we didn't venture to far from it.

What a better way to celebrate the holidays than in an infinity pool overlooking a breathtaking mountainscape.

Swim up bar and super lux seating. A pool with ocean views. Bliss.

A detail of the balustrading around the pool of the Paloma Club Sultan, I really liked the colour combination that the warm and cool light created.

Another shot from the infinity pool of the Paloma Club Sultan in Ozdere. I appreciate regular visitors to my photostream may have seen enough of this but I took a lot of shots trying to capture it's beauty.
Been gone for the whole week. I was in Singapore to attend a seminar which took up most of my time. Hardly had anytime to go to the net and check out all your uploads...
But the seminar also had site visits to spectacular places in Singapore...
This is the view of the top of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel...one of its kind in the world...
And this is the view from the "Infinity Pool"
Gorgeous!
The view from the Miki-Miki Bar at the 5 star LeMeridien Resort in Bora Bora. Although I'm equally happy camping out in a forgotten ghost town in Death Valley, this place really can NOT be beat!!
There are no cars here and all travel is by boat. The only thing you hear is the tropical breeze through the palm trees. The silhouette on the horizon is Mt. Otemanu. At 2385 ft. tall it is the dormant remains of an ancient volcano.

I spent most of last week enduring enforced relaxation in and around this infinity pool at the Paloma Club Sultan in Odzere, Turkey. Good news is I'm now back at work......

This pool was located at the club house.
Whilst shooting this HDR, the little girl was moving from left to right, so she appeared 3 times in the HDR rendition. Had to do some editing magic to make her one.
