Singapore is just full of wonders. In this city of lights, everyone will find what they’re looking for.
This is the city of high tech playthings. It is more modern than you would ever expect, and it is the perfect place to let go and enjoy life.
• Extraordinary dishes
• Futuristic with Asian motifs
• Amazing nightclubs
The Asian atmosphere paired with such futuristic lights and buildings make this city something much more than just another urban metropolis. It has character and will lend you a sense of remoteness, too. So, poker winners… are you ready to rock it out in Singapore? I sure hope you are, because this trip is going to be awesome.
Where to stay?
As in every larger city, the choices here are endless. Let’s start with W Singapore. The design and feeling of this place is so vibrant, you’ll want to be active constantly. Reserve a suite overlooking the marina for a real seaside view. If you’re looking for something very elegant, St. Regis is a safe bet. You can relax in their wondrous spa or do some mobile casino gambling. Try the buffet, because it is not of this world. Want to stay at an opulent yet lean-cut place? The Fairmont will do just fine, with its marvelous design and multiple amenities. It is also one of the best business hotels in Singapore.
Where to eat?
Where, indeed. There are so many great choices that it’s going to be very hard to choose from all of them. Let’s give it a shot. Iggy’s at the Hilton will provide you with an entirely new gastronomic experience: it has the perfect balance of taste and texture and dishes have so much imagination that you won’t now what to eat. Waku Ghin is something very distinctive. Take for example, the Marinated Botan Ebi, Uni and Oscietra Caviar. It in unlike anything you’ve ever tasted and the presentation is…well, you’d have to see it. JAAN is also a place worth checking out, because the food is heavenly and the design is simply extraordinary.
Where to gamble?
There are exactly four casinos in Singapore: Marina Bay Sands, Lido, Resorts World Casino Sentosa and the Singapore Racecourse. Don’t worry, you won’t need to stick to your favorite mobile casino, because these casinos will cater to your every need. Be it poker, blackjack or roulette, even slot machines, these casinos have your back. Gamble in a modern yet elegant setting with many other high rollers; the vibe of this city is favored by many players. If you want to experience something very special, why not try the Racetrack? It is the best live fun you could ever have.
Fun and games
Singapore is great when it comes to night-time entertainment. It has some of the most exciting clubs in the region, so don’t forget to try out at least a couple! Canvas Nightclub, for example, is a double agent: in the day, it is an art gallery, but as the sun goes down, it transforms into an underground dance joint. Near the water, it is one of the most popular clubs in Singapore. Love house and dance music? Mansion Bay is the club for you; with legendary DJs and playlists, this place is totally packed every weekend. Craving some hip-hop? The Butter Factory (love the name!) is the place where you can let loose to the best beats.
For some adult entertainment, try the two best strip clubs in the city, Crazy Horse and Seven Inch. No need to take your mobile betting app with you, because you wouldn’t care about it anyways. Beautiful topless girls, pole dancers, incredible music and world-class cocktails will make your night truly unforgettable. This city is fantastic in the sunlight, too: go outdoors and visit the Bird Park or go on a night safari to make things more intriguing. There are multiple botanic gardens to check out, too, so just close your eyes, take a pick… and go!
