Casino Entry Regulations

Foreign visitors enter free with a valid passport. Smart casual dress is required at both casinos — beachwear, shorts, and flip-flops are refused entry.

Beyond the Casino Floor

Singapore has an extraordinary non-gaming tourism offering: the Gardens by the Bay Supertree Grove light show (free from outside), hawker centre food culture (Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat), Little India, Chinatown, the colonial Civic District, and the Singapore Botanic Gardens (UNESCO World Heritage) are all within 30 minutes of Marina Bay.

Visitor Guide — Singapore

Casino Entry Levy

Singapore residents and permanent residents pay SGD 150 per day or SGD 3,000/year to enter casinos. Foreign visitors enter free — bring your passport as the entry checkpoint requires it. The levy applies at both MBS and RWS.

MBS vs Resorts World

MBS is on the city waterfront with spectacular skyline views and direct access to CBD tourism. Resorts World Sentosa on Sentosa Island is better for families (Universal Studios, aquarium) and a more resort-like environment. Both have full casino floors; MBS is generally preferred for solo or couples travel.

Climate & Best Time

Singapore has a tropical climate year-round (25–32°C). February–April is marginally drier. The monsoon seasons (November–January, May–July) bring more rainfall but rarely disrupt city activities. Singapore's indoor casino resort infrastructure means weather rarely affects your visit.

Getting Around

Singapore's MRT is one of Asia's best metro systems. MBS is served by Bayfront MRT (Circle and Downtown Lines). Resorts World Sentosa is accessible by Sentosa Express monorail from VivoCity mall or cable car. Grab (Singapore's Uber equivalent) is widely available and reliable.

Food Culture

Singapore's hawker centres are unmissable — Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, and Old Airport Road are institution-grade. The city has extraordinary fine dining; CUT and Spago at MBS are excellent. Budget SGD 8–15 for hawker meals; SGD 100+ for fine dining.

Dress Code

Both MBS and RWS enforce smart casual minimum. No beachwear, flip-flops, singlets, or shorts on casino floors. Collared shirts are recommended for men. Singapore casino dress standards are strictly enforced — more so than most Las Vegas properties.

Beyond the Casino

Gardens by the Bay Supertree Grove light show (free from outside), the Singapore River Quays, Chinatown, Little India, and the colonial Civic District are all within 30 minutes. The Singapore Botanic Gardens (UNESCO World Heritage) is an easy half-day trip from MBS.

Responsible Gambling

Singapore has strong mandatory exclusion laws. Family members can apply to restrict a relative's casino access. The National Council on Problem Gambling helpline: 1800-6-668-668 (24/7, free). Self-exclusion is administered by the Casino Regulatory Authority of Singapore.
