I’m taking you behind the scenes of Singapore’s most luxurious hotel, Marina Bay Sands. From the moment I arrived as a VIP guest, I experienced next-level luxur…

Great video. Brings back memories (not the $6k/night suite or the Rolls though…), but there was something I struggled with at the time: the tipping etiquette for such a luxurious hotel/resort where one is greeted/hosted by so many employees.<br>Do I tip everyone from (i) the two airport concierges, (ii) then the chauffeur, (iii) car doorman at the hotel, (iv) bellhop, (v) in-suite concierge who checked us in, and finally (vi) the guest relations manager/VIP host - which is probably the only one I know would be insulting to tip… and this is not counting everyone else guests interact with/are throughout the stay of course like the butler, room service, etc….<br>Any such etiquette tips (pun intended) would be so helpful, so just for me I am sure.
Some years ago I spent three night at the Marina Bay Sands and utterly disliked it. Will never even consider staying there again. My non-smoking room had a great view of Singapore but had cigarette burns in ten places. The room layout was odd and not especially comfortable. Queueing for nearly everything, including the lifts and for breakfast, was outrageous. Having a multitude of non-guests pay to access the pool deck and then gloat as you try to relax and swim is disgusting. Hugely expensive. Singapore has many far better and much cheaper 5-star hotels. MBS was exposed for submitting fake reviews to Tripadviser by the magazine Business Traveller. I wonder how many of those here are actually true!
Oh man! This parity blows my mind.. And what's crazy is this is not even the most expensive one!
Luxury in Asia is another level.
Rid the book. They don't understand.
But if you smoke a joint they’ll hang you
This is the life.... sorry, i cannot accept. At the same time i don't deny also. <br><br>I have a wonderful life without all these, but with lot of my likings. <br> Just that is the fact of life.
How much was your diner
stayed 10 nights in 2017
Speak clearly pronounce words properly … stop shouting
i live in singapore. i have never seen ts before
Tiger Woods, Tom Hanks and ........even Jamie Foxx Why "even"? combine with Jamie? Adverb "Even" emphasizes that Jamie attendance is especially unexpected or remarkable. I was expecting King Queen Pope ;) BTW nice Video ;)
I'm never really impressed by this stuff. Some rich people just want to pay a lot so they can justify something to themselves or feel a particular way I suppose.<br><br>The refreshing station is also known as a beer fridge and small counter space, or a mini bar that motels even have. Instead of the $1.50 bottle of water it's the $7 bottle of water. Okay. I could go to the grocery store and buy those water bottles.<br><br>Massage chair. I think I put in coins or a bill at the airport and sat in one of those. It was expensive, meaning $5 or something for the 20 minutes or so. And if you want to buy one for your own house, I'm sure that's much less than $6000.<br><br>Champagne. Definitely a symbol of fancy or luxury, but you can buy that in the liquor store, or you can go to a nice elegant beautiful restaurant on a special occasion and have that, and pay much less than $6000.<br><br>Even the shower with the jets and all that. I had that, in my own apartment and my rent was way way way way way less than $6000 a MONTH. No need to pay $6000 a day to have luxury cool jets installed in a shower.<br><br>Yes, views can be very nice. You can get nice views for .... free.<br><br>Even the fancy platting in a restaurant and all that, yes there are fancy restaurants to go to, again just as good but 10% of the price.<br><br>It's not like I saw something here that I have never seen before in my entire life. It's just paying more money when you could pay less. <br><br>It's not to say the nice fancy comfortable things aren't nice, fancy and comfortable, but you can find nice, fancy and comfortable things without needing to pay $6000 a night like a total moron or someone with an excessive amount of money that they just want to pay x10 more than everyone else for the same thing.
I don't know more people who stay there get this kind of treatment too<a href="UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/W8IfY_bwAfiPq7IPvNCA2AU"></a><a href="UCkszU2WH9gy1mb0dV-11UJg/W8IfY_bwAfiPq7IPvNCA2AU"></a>
Excellent Director to take you through the hotel initially. That's excellent service.
$5.7 billion? That's a steal. In London building something like that would cost £736364748848! 😂 God help us!
Honestly, this feel pretentious, i would rather jut go to raffles.
lol the baked Alaska... that look on your face, love it
$5000 a night to feed a fragile ego. Who needs twelve people with forced grins to meet them at the door? Money buys a lot of fake admiration 🤮
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQZ0oiK9zhg&t=450">7:30</a> I really wanted to see the price on the 2 bite slider. I'm guessing $100
this kind of thing would drive me nuts. I just want to be left alone. <br>I don't need someone waiting on me hand and foot.
Compliment for your content. I absolutely love it. Just a little comment: the dining chair you were sit on was not the Archibald by Poltrona Frau, but the Cab 413 by Cassina (also a very expensive and exquisite chair). Cheers mate!
Looks worth the money honestly
Mark 8:36 - "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?"
And one of my classmates’ family stays there everytime they go to Singapore
Visual wise it looks a bit underwhelming for the monthly salary of a commoner for one night. But I'm sure it makes up for in service and experience.
the guy is pretentious and tedious.
Lasksa noodles were fake.
One of the most expensive countries in the world . Wealthiest yes because the gov is loaded 😂
Do they have good cocain in Singapore?
❤❤❤
so this is what rich people do😄 drink alcohol the whole day
I think Taylor Swift stayed at this suite
This is<br>“ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE”
Marina Bay Sands was never meant to be top end luxury hotel. When it first opened, it offered upscale, but not luxury accommodation. The catch was the infinity pool, scenes of the entirety of Singapore, and also Singapore's second casino.
👍👍👍👍👍
One day this will be me eating and traveling the world with my loved once and enjoying the fruits of my labor.<br>Imagining the faces of my wife and kids and parents and in-laws keeps me going.<br>Love this channel
So far not bad. But I am surprised or maybe old fashioned (age 67) but I expect at such restaurants a certain dress code. What I want to say is simply you should have worn a tie and a jacket or a suit. Watching you and honestly I decided not to take this place into closer consideraition. Greetings Andreas
is it even ever half or 1/4 full...i think not
You have only 570 k subscriber and you show luxury life 😂
Plese make by youtube vr .so good so clean .all fans no vr . No subcrib.......that mean you make you wach and you make subcrib.....by your sefe ....
12.20, 2 thousand meters high?
See this is why we can’t raise taxes on the rich or they couldn’t afford this and nobody else would create those butler jobs. Common sense.
He’s good looking!.!.
No wonder… they’re probably giving it their all because you’re a YouTuber and promoting them. In the Booking reviews you can see that for “non-stars” it looks different (at least as far as you can trust Booking reviews).
I was thinking you are hungarian by your accent then in saw your name :)
No seat belts 😮
A view with no green is hardly a view. Singapore look like a city for as far as the eye can see. No matter how high you see it from, it hardly looks any better. Except at night, granted.<br><br>"The man is a genius when it comes to good vibes and simple food." Dude, I can tell you about a dozen food carts here in Portland that could say the same.<br><br>"You will find everything here, from shops to restaurants to bars." Alexander doesn't know what it's like to be a normal person. But that's why we love him.
Two years ago I took my mum for her birthday to the top off marina bay sands to the wolfgang puck spago restaurant (not spago bar but the actual restaurant next door)...it was excellent..quite possibly the best meal we have ever had..Service was spot on and at the end without asking they brought my mum a cake with candles on and a card signed by all the staff on duty that night. I highly recommend the 3 course dinner we got as for singapore standards it really was not badly priced at all. The wine we got cost just as much ! The cocktails at spago bar were great as well for a pre dinner tipple...my tip..go about 5pm so you can get the sunset in later..and then you should have time for either the 7.45 or 8.45pm gardens by the bay show...from spago to the super trees will be about 20mins or so walk so give yourself plenty off time...or just watch it all from high above in spago bar instead and make a night off it there !
Went to Wakuda's restaurant in Vegas. So goooood
That hotel room is bigger than most government flats in singapore, lol.
I am so fucking jealous :D Must be awesome to be rich ;_;
A 'pillow menu' was not on my bingo card. I think I've lived too long
what a snob
Tolpuddle is my favorite wine PERIOD. Their pinots are insane and their chard gives white burgundy a run for their money. Tasmania forever!
Hi, great video. Those sunglasses you wore in the pool, what make are they?
I WANT YOUR JOB!! 😁
what alex said about them putting in all their money into the investments and not so the quality of the food and service: the same can be observed for many/most ASIAN food and hospitality services hahahahahah this is one difference ive noticed in these videos and my/other people's experiences
I will live in it someday😤
You are realy blessed. I love how this guy keeps me on, if video was 2 hours long , I would not feel it.
72. Good art inspires. Good content motivates.
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQZ0oiK9zhg&t=778">12:58</a> Foie Gras ? 👎🏽 shame
This is NOT the most luxurious hotel in Singapur. That's the RAFFLES Hotel, by far.
Thank god for captions cuz his pronunciation of hotel threw me off for a few secs there. Btw, peak entertainment
Sliding doors to main bathroom is criminal on a room that expensive.
lol wen are they getting there money back lol
$6000/night. wooohoooo..........
Better than the 12k train ride.

I love Singapore
The plaza hotel could never haha
Boring Singapore no halal food cannot attract rich Arab people. No bidet also no cebok. Lame
Singapore is one of those places that unless youve been, you simply cant understand how amazing it is. Its the safest, cleanest, friendliest country in the world. Lots for kids, great restaurants, great hotels, and people in general there are just happy. It is expensive, that is its only downfal, but for me, worth every penny. Great weather almost all year round as well, its even warm when its raining 😂
Imagine how full it is there when there is an F1 GP happening
Luxurious hotel is not here. Try Raffles.
I’m sure the staff’s behaviour was 10x better after seeing a prominent YouTuber with a camera. Not sure it would be the same under normal circumstances…
Are you planning to come back to review when the 4th tower is ready? :)
Even if I know I will not get the same service as you had, I just booked two days 😂
kid in a candy shop moment :"A fuckin rolls royce 😭"
What an incredible experience for you. It would be nice to know what a more average guest receives. Your videos would be more accessible and enjoyable if you slowed down and dropped the volume of your heavily accented voiceovers. We miss many of the food descriptions because of the speed, volume, and shrillness of your speech in the voiceovers. Your live speech, however, in the Rolls, at the pool, and in the restaurants is slower, calmer, and clearer, making it much easier to understand. <br>Thank you.
I haven't seen such a positive review of the Marina Bay Sands before or as inclusive of what's available. I really like the look of Marina Bay Sands and the rooms and suites on their website, I was impressed to see in your review that they have 80 restaurants! Thanks for your review I have subsequently subscribed to your channel.
There is rolls royce phantom at Shangri-la hotel shanghai pudong
The wording and the editing at the end. The message left a great impression, that's what got this 1 million views Make it to keep coming. 🎉 Congratulations.🎉
Just like what the host said, everything is expensive and good except the actual produce used for the food. It's mostly tasteless stuff in Singapore that's overly seasoned just in the pretense of "flavour"
Another stay coming up soon 😊
Why i am watching this guy's experience which i will never be able to experience in my life. Though it gives the feeling of probability to happen.
Loved it back in 2012. However, isn’t raffles or Fullerton bay rather more exclusive? :)
ou only have one short life, and I was not born rich, damn it!
The thumbnail for this is 10/10
That is not the Archibald chair. It's a Cab 413
Having been to quite a few countries, I can seriously say that Asian hospitality is just second to none.
Amazing experience 🌠
And here I am eating a frozen lasagna while watching this
💛
Absolutely magnificent 😮
my god i love being rich
A view into an experience I will never experience in my life
