Marina Bay Sands

The bridge over to the Marina Bay Sands took you to a mid level walkway where you could look down on the patrons of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel but, how do you get from the middle tower to the far tower with the roof top bar? After walking back and forth across the walkway looking for clues, we listened to other confused people being given directions 'to go down the steps' on the other side from which we entered, 'walk along the path to the base of the far tower and take the lift to the top'. There was quite of queue of people waiting to take the lift but, after short while, there we were at the top, looking for the entrance to the Bar.

At the top there was an entrance to the viewing platform (which cost to enter) parallel to that was the entrance to the Bar, with no entrance fee but you paid for your drinks obviously. Not so obvious, was that your drinks could be cheaper than the cost of entry to the viewing platform.

Photo taken by our waiter, who came from Uzbekistan (or was it Kazakhstan) and he asked if we knew where that was. I said yes, desperately trying to clarify my geographic memory. I later looked on map and was close but I had it closer to the Ukraine than the map showed. He was a pleasant young man with good English, saying he had a two year contract before he would move on with his world travels.
