With the holidays just around the corner, Marina Bay Sands is putting the finishing touches on what promises to be a splendid celebration, with a chance to win up to S$250,000, late night shopping, gastronomic meals, world-class art, and entertainment.

The integrated resort will be also giving back this holiday season by supporting children in need through The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund, with sales from The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition at the Skating Rink of The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands being channelled into the fund as part of a commitment to support the youth of Singapore.

Celebrating its second festive season, Marina Bay Sands has lined up a scrumptious spread that is choc-a-bloc with exclusive shopping promotions, blockbuster museum exhibitions and international entertainment with a decidedly festive flair. The festivities kicked off from 16 November, with The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands giving away S$10,000 in shopping vouchers every week until 17 December, with a chance to win the grand prize of S$250,000 in cash in the finale from 23 to 25 December.

Gourmets will also find their gastronomic fancies tickled this season as several of Marina Bay Sands's restaurants rise to the challenge of presenting unique menus filled with festive fare. Pick from a number of Christmas hampers at SweetSpot, or dine under a towering Christmas tree at Rise Restaurant. Tuck into sensational seasonal offerings at celebrity chef restaurants db Bistro Moderne, SANTI and Guy Savoy.

For traditional Asian options, head over to Jin Shan, or visit The Moluccas Room for an exotic taste of the region. Avail of an eclectic festive feast at South Coast, or sit down to a four-course seafood dinner at Caffe B. For an authentic Brazilian grill experience, check out Carnivore Brazilian Churrascaria, the newest restaurant at The Shoppes.

The many possibilities for dining at Marina Bay Sands boggle the mind, and foodies will certainly be spoilt for choice this season.
