Junkies Invade the Marina Bay Sands

From Niko's Camera

So check out from The Inn Crowd happened at 11am. We spent an hour in the lobby with around 20 other people, all of whom were locked on to their digital devices, leaving no room for conversation or friendship. I played guitar and created some noise hoping to see if anyone, anyone at all, would ask me to quiet down, to no avail.

When we got into the car we were told that some strings had been pulled and that we had been given guest access to the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. I thought this was pretty neat. I had been there once before, had to pay like SG$18 to view the rooftop, spent I don't remember how much for a hotdog and a coke, and in the end, wasn't that thrilled about it anyway.

Having guest key cards though, that made all the difference. The Junkies were here and about to make some noise.

We started by having a smoke out back, where most of the employees go for their cigarette breaks. Then we hit the elevator that took us straight up to the 57th floor. The first thing you have to do is swipe your hotel key card through a computer that opens the gate for your entrance. And then you see it, the incredible view and the infinity pool. 

We took a walk through the length of the pool, watched the pretty and sexy girls sunbathe, disrobe, swim, drink, take photos, and sleep, then had another smoke at the smoking section of the infinity pool area. We had a look at the bar and took a peek at the outdoor bar overlooking the pool. All in all, it was just alright. Nothing to really brag about, nor did anything absolutely special or incredible happen. It was just 6 guys taking a walk where they weren't supposed to be, enjoying a view not given to just anyone who happened to be in the area. 

Thanks for this Niks

What I want to know is, is it really worth it to be billeted at the Marina Bay Sands? We know it's expensive, about SG$20 a beer, but is sleeping in one of their rooms all it's made out to be? Don't get me wrong, I love a good hotel, and I certainly would enjoy the hotel's amenities, I just wonder if Marina Bay Sands is everything they say it is? Which is what again?
