Sky Park Resort in Singapore

Don't go off the VERY deep end... Infinity pool 55 STORIES
above ground opens in Singapore in dazzling new £4bn resort

 He'll definitely want to make sure he doesn't swim too close
to the edge. This man is the first lap swimmer in the world
to enjoy such a view - 55 stories over the city of Singapore.

 The £4billion Marina Bay Sands tourism development opened
in the city yesterday, and the 150-metre long pool - three times
the length of an Olympic swimming pool - was a highlight.

the infinity pool



 Infinity pools are designed to make it seem as though the water
extends to the horizon. In reality, the edge of the pool is
usually about an inch below the water level. The water therefore
spills over the edge into a catchment below, and is then pumped
back into the pool. The concept is said to have been inspired
by the terraced rice paddies in Bali, Indonesia.
They are often seen in luxury resorts such as the Marina Bay Sands.



 In Singapore, Marina Bay Sands will be the pivot point in which
tourism here is going to explode,' gaming tycoon Sheldon Adelson,
chairman of Las Vegas Sands Corp, the parent company of the resort,
said at its opening celebration yesterday.

The enormous hotel, which dominates the Singapore skyline,
has 2,560 rooms and suites, a fleet of celebrity chef restaurants,
shopping areas, theatres, a museum, a casino and a crystal pavilion.
The resort is set to employ 10,000 people directly and generate
up to £48million each year. Entrance to the casino alone
is nearly £50 a day - but an average of 25,000 people have
visited the casino daily since its initial phased opening two months ago.

 Thomas Arasi, president and chief executive officer of the resort,
said he expects to attract an astonishing 70,000 visitors a day,
18 million a year.
The resort was designed by Moshe Safdie,
who said he based it on a deck of cards.

 It was due to open in 2009, but was delayed thanks to labour
and material shortages, and funding problems due to the
global financial crisis.


 Last night, singing legend Diana Ross performed for 2,500 VIPs
in the resort's Grand Ballroom. Singer Kelly Rowland
also headlined an outdoor concert there yesterday. The opening
celebrations also featured a death-defying relay. Seven teams
of three participants each scaled the three towers in succession
before sprinting across the 340-metre long Sands SkyPark,
where the infinity pool is located, to the finish line.
