Marina Bay Sands Casino Singapore - Games, Dress Code & Hours

Hi Redditors,
Inspired by other post in the past about past community days, me, a local, has written this handbook post for Singapore’s Pokémon Go Community day at Sentosa.
​
About the country.
Singapore is a city state. So it’s a state and a country together. Small and compact, it’s a nice place to visit and live.
Currency used here is Singaporean Dollars(SGD).
Exchange rate is around 1 USD= 1.35 SGD.
Singapore’s weather changes damn quickly. It is cold with heavy rain with temp of 25 degrees yesterday night and it’s hot now at around 30 degrees.
Singapore is in the tropics so expect hot hot hot weather. Afternoon is usually around 30 to 35 degrees. So do bring sunblock, hats, and lots of water.
Language spoken here is English. Yes, we are Asians, that speaks English. Chinese, Malay and Tamil is spoken too. Locals speak Singlish which is a local mix on English, mixed with dialects, and words from the other languages.
You know arh....
Singapore is a Small country. Travelling time shouldn’t take more than 1.5 hours.
A significant number of people do play Pokemon Go especially on weekends.
Okay with basics out of the way time to explore the world’s most expensive country for the 2nd year running. Yay!
​
At the airport, what should I do next?
Singapore is mostly serviced by Changi International Airport. Changi is world class. Always ranked TOP few or first on the airport charts. We have 4 terminals and a New shopping complex in the center. New Shopping complex is named the Jewel and it is donut shaped. That’s where the Pokémon Center will be located. The first Pokémon center outside of japan. It only opens on 17th April, day before Safari Zone event so yeah.
Changi Airport has a metro ( Called MRT, Mass Rapid Transit) and it connects to the center of the city in around a hour.
Also, you can take a Taxi or Private Hire.
All taxis run on meter. It’s by law to use meter. No haggling. No negotiation. The price is what it is.
Note there is a surcharge of $5 on any pickups from Changi Airport. Additional surcharges apply
The Uber in Singapore are Go Jek and Grab. Welcome to south east Asia .
​
I need to Internet to play Pogo yeah?
Carriers

1. M1
2. SingTel
3. Starhub

Not sure which offers good tourist coverage but yeah refer to this : https://blog.moneysmart.sg/budgeting/tourist-expats-prepaid-sim-cards/
All are kinda good with coverage around 99 percent of the country so yeah now sure which is good. Have been on M1 for around 10 years?
​
Event at where arh? (Translation: where is the event held at)
The event is held at Sentosa Island. It’s a touristy island with lots of expensive hotels and Super expensive houses. It’s a island. However it is not as small as some people think. In true Singaporean efficiency fashion. It is jammed packed with facilities and attractions. Think 3 beaches, a Universal Studio Singapore, a Casino, Kidzania, Luge, indoor flying tube (IFly), an aquarium, a water park, a Merlion statue, butterfly place, water and light show, luxury shopping areas and tonnes of hotels. One of them hosted the Kim- Trump face to face meet so pretty cool I Guess?
So be prepared, it’s gonna be crowded. It is already crowded on normal days and would be even more on event days.
Nearest MRT station is Habourfont(Purple north east line last station) which serves VivoCity, a Super big shopping center. Great grinding spot too.
​

1. Take a Monorail in. ( $3 per person)

About the event & things to take note during event.
The event is split into 3 different main areas. Mainly, Resort World Singapore (RWS) area, Merlion Walk area and Palawan green/ beach area.
It's our first event so we don’t really know what’s gonna happen. Sentosa Development Corporation (SDC) says that QR code is non transferable. We shall see how.
Food in Sentosa is crazily expensive. In RWS, there are Michelin stars restaurants. There is a Macdonald’s at IFly Singapore, near beach station, and inside RWS outside the casino. Prices are a bit more ex than city Mcdonalds by a few dollars so that should still be affordable. There are bars along the beach but yeah expansive.
Water is shittly overpriced. Like $3 coke and $2.50 water. Really really expensive so please do bring water. Water are sold at RWS. Macdonald’s , 7 11 at beach.
Air con areas are on casino area in RWS. No air con around beach station other than in restaurants. No shelter area on beach and merlion walk.
Nearest Monorail station for check in station 1 @ RWS: Waterfont Station
Nearest Monorail station for check in station 2 @ Palawan Green : Beach station
Monorail station for merlion walk: Imbiah Lookout
​
Do and Don’ts
Singapore is a FINE country. Most infractions will be met with a fine.
Don’t litter. Singapore is a clean country, we try our best to be clean, and litterbugs if caught and fined. Its my home country so i do hope that you will be nice to the place yeah?
Don’t do vandalism. If caught, fined, jailed and or canned.
Don’t do anything too out of the normal. Our fines and law isn’t that bad. Just be a normal person and it will be okay.
Singapore is safe. One of the safest cities in the world. However one must still be careful and be safe for oneself. Cops are corrupt free and reliable.
Needa pee? Public toilets are plenty. One can find them in shopping center, and mrt stations. Sentosa has a lot of them too. Most of the time they are free and clean.
Lazy go out to buy food? Delivery apps like deliveryroo, foodpanda and GrabFood are here to save. Just download, add CC and yup you are done.
​
Normal things to take note
Food is cheap around Singapore. Most hawker centers serve good food at cheap prices. Most food should be below $5. However in touristy places, the prices will jump by quite a lot. As such, price of standard of living is Low. But if you wanna go on a spree, there multiple places to do so.
Hawker Center is our local fare and it’s my comfort food. Be prepared for lots of variety and Super nice food.
​
