The Resorts World Sentosa integrated resort in Singapore has finally opened!

Are you wondering what it is like on the inside? We take you on a tour through this highly anticipated attraction. Even before the Universal Studios theme park, the country’s first ever casino, and most of the 60 restaurants are open for business, the resort has already amassed a huge crowd on its opening day!

Clearly, the casino is the biggest draw of the resort. Be honest: How many of you are already planning your trip here?

The way to the casino is a route through passageways interconnected with escalators. Attention has been paid to every detail to give the feel of a whole different world. Ambient music plays in the background while lighting effects create dancing patterns and images on the walls.

This place has got some kind of underwater theme going on. A prelude to the controversial upcoming Marine Life Park, perhaps?

Water waves ripple on the arched ceiling and floor. You feel as though the floor MIGHT be moving. Pretty cool!

The eager crowd scrutinises the casino rules and regulations, and that includes a $100 admission fee. Some people were even spotted photographing the rules for future reference! Do you think the $100 fee would turn anyone off?

Here are more information and pictures of the casino!

A slender-legged elephant towers over the crowd near Festive Hotel. He totally reminds me of Thailand!

The main lobby of Festive Hotel features dozens of colorful lanterns hanging from the tall ceiling. The decoration certainly emanates a festive ambience! You would find a bakery and a bar in the lobby, and a spa up the beautiful staircase.

For the well-heeled shoppers, a whole alley of designer boutiques can be found at Crockfords Tower. No sign of Victoria’s Secret yet. Also missing is Tiger Woods’ face at TAG Heuer.

In between Crockfords Tower Hotel and Hotel Michael lies an eye catching pair of sculptures. Aren’t they adorable? Uncensored, too, they are. Some time back there was a bunch of exhibits here featuring a similar chubby theme. It is probably the same artist who’s also responsible for the cute fat pigeon along Boat Quay.

This is The Dining Room at Crockfords, a 24-hour restaurant specialising in Chinese/Cantonese cuisines. Ever heard of a bird’s nest egg tart? Well, the one here is exquisite!

When you visit the resort, do pay attention to the chandeliers. Most of them sport ornate and sophisticated designs that look interesting and abstract.

Festive Grande, the 1,600-seater theater will eventually host a musical acrobatic performance, Voyage de le Vie. Uh, someone translate?

As you can see, many parts of the resort are still under construction. Universal Studios Singapore has yet to open. Same goes for the two remaining hotels and the casino.

Lining the casino’s entrance is a long row of gantries with scanners. We notice that a majority of these are reserved for Singaporeans and permanent residents, while only a handful are meant for foreigners.

The casino has opened its doors to the public. Check out our article on the Sentosa casino to find out what it has to offer!

        That’s interesting, maybe that is the new selling point and unique way that the cafe is going to operate.

        That’s pretty bizarre. How do they know what food to serve to their customers then? Memory? I fail to see how it would work to the restaurant’s benefit by not having orders recorded etc. Before long you just know that people would start to abuse this system.

    wow, thanks for the pics and quick field-report. I was supposed to visit this evening but you beat me to it, haha. The 2 big black statues between Crockfords Tower and Hotel Michael is probably from Salvador Dali, same as the long legged elephant.

    LOLing at the shot of the people staring at the rules & regulations. Can they stare any harder??

    This is already 1000X better than Genting and I have not even seen the inside of the casino. I am not a gambler so the F&B and shops are more interesting to me. Genting becomes boring once you run out of shops and rides. That usually takes about half a day, and half the rides seem to be broken at any one time. Here at least you have many more dining options and Universal Studio.

    think the sculptor for the fatties is Botero. The chandeliers probably by Chihuly.

    Great photos and a nice preview of Resorts World! I’m certainly excited about it and will try to check it out soon.

    Speaking of the sculptures, the long-legged elephant is probably from Salvador Dali, the plump figures are the works of Fernando Botero, while the crystal chandeliers are likely to be the creations of Dale Chihuly. All of them are renowned artists, and their works have great commercial value and are easily accessible. :)

    I guess I’ll drop by to have a look during CNY since I’m going back to my hometown. This place definitely looks promising! Genting should really have a revamp.

    Wow I like the whole range of hotel designs plus the whole Universal Studios look to the theme park. Also, I think Voyage de la Vie is like Life’s Voyage or something like that.

    the elephant sculpture is a famous work by Salvador Dalí “Space Elephant”. It must have cost them a bomb to bring this in.
