MARINA Bay Sands is undoubtedly one of the most famous hotels in the world - and now, the company behind the resort is planning another in Singapore.
Las Vegas Sands - the company behind the iconic cruise ship-like hotel in Singapore - is planning a second resort for the country costing £5.7billion.

In total, the luxury resort will boast 570 suites and there will also be a hotel tower capped with a rooftop.
The 76,000 square-foot 'Skyloop' - which will be similar to the Sands SkyPark at Marina Bay Sands - will have 360-degree views.
On the lower levels, the public will be able to explore an observatory, restaurants and rooftop gardens.
On higher levels, guests can access more private experiences such as private cabanas, infinity-edge pools and sprawling palm trees.
And one major feature will be a cantilevered wellness terrace - essentially hanging in the air - for yoga, arts and other events.
There is more too, as the hotel is expected to have a 15,000 seat arena, with the backdrop of Marina Bay, for live entertainment.
Inside the hotel will also be a number of different dining experiences, shops, a gaming area, spa and wellness facilities.
And it will be designed by the same firm that designed Sphere in Las Vegas and the O2 Arena in London.
The entire hotel is expected to be tilted at a 45 degree angle to give guests amazing views of Marina Bay and the Singapore Strait.
In total, the hotel will rise 55 stories into the air and a feature 'biophilic' design that aims to connect people with nature and enhance wellbeing.

Construction on the resort is expected to finish in 2030.
The resort will be designed by Safdie Architects and led by the same designers as Marina Bay Sands - Moshe Safdie.
Patrick Dumont, Sands president and chief operating officer, said: "Our new development will raise the bar and redefine the ultra-luxury hospitality realm on a global scale, fuelling further growth of high-value tourism."
The Marina Bay Sands hotel caters to more than one million guests each year.
There has even been a BBC2 documentary on the hotel, presented by Giles Coren and Monica Galetti.
The two presenters explored the hotel including the longest elevated infinity pool in the world - the size of three Olympic swimming pools - at the top of the hotel.
Guests have claimed that the resort to be a "once-in-a-lifetime experience" and feeling more like "another world".

Another guest added: "My wife and I both felt like I was in the Barbie movie."
A Sun reporter who went to Singapore a few years ago said: "For me, the place to be is Ce La Vi on the 57th floor of the majestic three-tower Marina Bay Sands hotel.
"It offers fabulous views, especially at sunset."
Ce La Vi is one of the hotels' 80 restaurants and is located on the rooftop, with a bar.
Overall, the hotel has 2,560 rooms and cost £3.92 billion to build.
Some of the world's craziest hotels have also been named - from Flintstones-like caves to a Barbie Dreamhouse.
