Honestly, the view from the Gardens by the Bay is pretty killer. You get a fantastic, almost panoramic shot of the bridge all lit up. It's a bit touristy, yeah, but for a reason. Alternatively, try getting a drink at a rooftop bar near the Marina Bay Sands – the perspective from up high is amazing. Just check out which ones have outdoor seating with a good view beforehand. You could even take a bumboat ride along the Singapore River at night; you'll get a different perspective that way. Good luck with your photos!

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!
