Polo Club's Secret?

Polo Club Restaurant & Bar

Yeah, the Polo Club has a members-only area – it's pretty exclusive. Think seriously upscale, less "restaurant" more "private club." From what I've heard (and I've heard things!), it's not something you just waltz into. Connections are key. Unless your friend has some serious pull, getting in there for your birthday might be a long shot. The main restaurant's views are still killer though, so don't sweat it if the secret area is out of reach. For a big birthday bash, the main area should still be a fantastic experience. Maybe splurge on a really good bottle of something special to make it extra memorable. It's Singapore, after all; you've got options!

Nope, access to the Marina Bay Sands infinity pool is strictly for hotel guests only. Those pricey day passes are unfortunately not scams, they're just... exorbitant. Your best bet is to just book a room, even if it's just for a night. Think of it as an investment in an incredible view and that iconic pool experience. Otherwise, you're out of luck.

Ouch, that's a bummer. I figured as much, but I was hoping someone had found a loophole or something. A night's stay is definitely a hefty price tag just for the pool, though. Maybe I'll just admire it from afar then... Thanks for the info!
