SINGAPORE: More than 36,000 people visited Marina Bay Sands in the 24 hours after its auspicious opening at 3.18pm on Tuesday.
The integrated resort saw 4,000 visitors in the first hour alone, and it has been a steady flow of visitors since then.
Cabbies said that going to the integrated resort simply to pick up passengers is not lucrative due to ERP charges and not being able to collect the city area surcharge.
Food wise, two high-end Chinese restaurants - Imperial Treasure and Jin Shan - are enjoying good business.
One was even patronised by Las Vegas Sands CEO, Sheldon Adelson.
