Marina Bay Sands, to be completed by the end of 2009, will feature three 50-story hotel towers with over 2,600 luxury rooms and suites, crowned by a two acre Sky Park bridging across the towers, offering 360-degree views of the city and the sea, outdoor amenities for the hotel such as jogging paths, swimming pools, spas, and gardens; an iconic Arts and Sciences Museum on the promontory; one-million square feet of integrated waterside promenade and shopping arcade; a state-of-the art convention center; two 2,000-seat theaters; the Marina Bay Sands Casino & Resort; and a 4,000 car garage.
Designed by Moshe Safdie and Associates, the cost for building this 'city in the sky', a cool US $3.6 billion. As of today it is said to be on schedule as you can see in these pictures shot recently (click below). Plus information about Gambling and Casinos in Singapore. Frankly I think it's a smart way of keeping the riff-raff out.
Here are a couple more pictures

Wow! What a beautiful structure in the making. Thanks for the heads up.
It'll probably be spectacular standing on that Sky Garden/City, 50 storeys high!
