Tips Before Visiting Entertainment Venues in Singapore

Why Singapore?

If you are a fan of playing casino games, and want to do that while you are in Singapore, there are some things you should know before entering a casino. It is a nation that has the motto of strict discipline and hard work. Evidence of this lies in the fact that previously Singapore has banned chewing gum and is strict with people overstaying their travelling visas. 

However, seeing a clear potential for more tourism within the country and the ability to create thousands of jobs, Singapore let go of its conservatism to legalize gambling. By 2010, Singapore was home to two of the world’s biggest casinos – Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa. This made Singapore an incredibly popular gambling destination. Thanks to these resorts, Singapore welcomes millions of tourists every year. 

So, if you are planning on visiting Singapore’s casinos any time soon, read on to find out more information about the resorts on offer, other attractions, and tips on how to plan for your trip.

What You Need to Know

1. Think of Ways to Save Money

In comparison to neighboring Asian destinations such as Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, Singapore is a more expensive visit. So, how can you save? One great way is to make sure to get the cheapest room available in the resort. Those rooms considered to be lower tier at Resorts World or Marina Bay are still satisfactory. 

If you don’t want to stay in the resort, finding one in the city could also make your trip cheaper. Although you won’t be on-site, you can taxi to the casino whenever you please.

2. Eat Local

Rather than choosing to dine at the prestigious celebrity chef restaurants close to the casino, eating locally will save you a lot of money. Many restaurants in the city offer meals for as little as S$10-15, with street vendors offering prices of S$5-10 per meal. 

This adjustment can help you save a lot of money on your trip, and leave you with more spending money in the casino.

3. Visit in the Week 

Singapore is an incredibly busy place, with a population of 5.4 million people and thousands of tourists passing daily, so things can get a little crowded. In order to beat these crowds, it is better to visit earlier in the week. If you plan your trip around arriving on a Sunday or Monday, it can help to beat the crowds.

4. Avoid Visiting in September and October 

Throughout the year Singapore’s weather tends to maintain a pretty constant temperature. In this regard, you always know what to expect. Why it is suggested to avoid visiting during September and October is due to the Singapore Grand Prix. It attracts thousands of tourists so the city will be packed. This might make it harder to find accommodation etc, and you could end up overpaying for a room.  

What Else Can I See?

Singapore is full of more than just casinos, so should you want to see anything else there is a lot to choose from. Listed below are examples of other entertainment that can be enjoyed:

1.      Interested in the arts?

If you are someone who appreciates art and likes to go to museums to admire it, then why not take a peek at the Ritz Carlton Artwork? It has everything from paintings to sculptures, featuring the likes of Andy Warhol, Rainer Gross and David Hockney.

2.      Take in Some Green

To enjoy the great outdoors, take a visit to Singapore Botanical Garden. There you will find one of the few green areas to the busy city that is Singapore. Inside you’ll find a rainforest, along with over 1,000 species of orchids.

3.      Shop ‘Til You Drop
