About this audio guide
This guide to Marina Bay Sands opens with the improbable pool balanced across its three towers, then rewinds to the debate that made it possible: for thirty-five years Lee Kuan Yew ruled out a Singapore casino, in his words, not over my dead body. You'll hear how a 2005 cabinet meeting reversed that stance under the softer label of an integrated resort, and how architect Moshe Safdie was hired to solve a site with almost no ground-level room for the resort's amenities. It traces his solution up into the sky.
