Despite going to Singapore so often, I have not stepped foot in Vivo City, which is Singapore's largest retail and lifestyle destination. Johnny was so kind to make himself free on Saturday to take me around the harbour front and the new Resort World Sentosa. It is located at the harbour front, right before you enter Sentosa, making Vivo City an attractive mall with a nice view deck and a meeting point before entering Sentosa Island.
The Vivo City is designed by international renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito whom designed the famous Sendai Mediatheque in Japan. His designs focuses on the utilisation of nature, spaces and climate. Vivo City is indeed a very aesthetic pleasing retail centre, offering shoppers a place to wine, dine, shop and relax.
From Vivo City (Lobby L, Level 3), one can be trasported to the Sentosa resort island in less than 5 mins using the Sentosa Express. It is a S$140 million light rail system that provides easy access to Sentosa, HarbourFront Center and St. James Power Station. Ticket is priced at S$3 for two ways. Instead of driving up to Sentosa, we decided to take the Sentosa Express to the new Resort World Sentosa Casino and also Universal Studios.
As we arrived at the entrance of the Universal Studios, I can't help but to take pictures with the big globe. It was indeed very nicely designed. The walkways are spacious and everything is in order. There were many personnel located around the place to guide the visitors and the signages were so cute.
The entrance fees to Universal Studios is S$72 for a one day weekend adult pass and only $S66 if you go on a weekday. For children, it's S$52 & S$48 respectively. I wouldn't want to go in now because not all the attractions or rides are fully functional. It would be a complete waste of money. However, I did manage to take some pictures from outside. Hey, at least I've been there, ok?!!
Can't take pictures inside the Casino (obviously these photos are illegal) but we can of course take pictures of the building and the shopping corridor. The casino is big and well designed. Even Singaporeans have their own gaming room separated from the rest. Minimum bet on a Baccarat table is at S$50. There's also live performances like singing and dancing. I like how I walked out from the casino without smelling like a cigarette butt. It's non-smoking inside.
There were many high end fashion labels and also some restaurants which have opened their doors. Johnny was making fun when we saw BreadTalk. In Chinese saying, we always say that if you have no money, you have to eat bread and if you have money, we'll eat sharks fin. So, for those who losses in the Casino, they'll have to live on breads!

After that, we adjourned into the Resorts World Casino by Genting. Before you get to enter the Casino, there's a ID checking process that you have to go through. An international visitor need not pay anything but you will need to show your passport for verification. For Singapore residents and PR holders, you'll need to pay S$100 for the entrance fees. But there's also a package of S$2000 for unlimited entries within a year.
