It looks like three buildings with a ship stuck on tip. From Wikipedia,

Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands, it is billed as the world’s most expensive standalone casino property at S$8 billion (US$5.7 billion), including cost of the prime land.

The resort features a 2,560-room hotel, 120,000 sq-meter convention-exhibition center, The Shoppes mall, six restaurants, an Art & Science museum, two Sands Theatres, two floating pavilions, a casino with 500 tables and 1,600 slot machines. The complex is topped by a 340m-long SkyPark with a capacity of 3,900 people and a a 150m swimming pool, set on top of the world’s largest public cantilevered platform, which overhangs the north tower by 67m. The 51-acre resort was designed by Moshe Safdie.

The resort was officially opened with a 2-day celebration on 23 June 2010 at 3.18 pm, after a partial opening earlier in April. The museum, theatres and floating pavilions are still being built and are expected to be fully completed by December 2010.

    That pool would freak me the heck out, but what a building! I worked in S'pore about 10 years ago, and the skyline looks totally foreign to me now.

    I've been trying to find pictures of the far side of the pool. I wonder how far the water falls on the other side and how far away from the edge of the roof structure it is. I would love to take a dip in that pool. :)
