Marina Bay Sands, Singapore

In this photo taken on Friday, Dec. 31, 2010, the financial skyline is lit while the newly opened Marina Bay Sands casinos, left, tower over the bay area as they await New Year's day countdown. Singapore's two huge casino resorts, Marina Bay Sands and Resorts World Sentosa, which together cost more than $10 billion to build, are the crowning jewels of a decade-long effort to diversify the island's economy toward services such as tourism and away from low-end manufacturing. The casinos have created more than 20,000 jobs, helped attract record visitors and fueled 14.7 percent economic growth last year, likely the second-highest in the world behind Qatar, the Trade and Industry Ministry said Monday, Jan. 3, 2011.

Foreigners need to show passports to enter and exit.

Local citizens and residence have to pay S$100 to enter casino.

The casino was absolutely packed during the year-end long weekend.

Sheldon must be very happy!
