The nightlife scene here is about to get a big boost with the Republic's largest nightclub, Marquee Singapore, opening its doors on April 12 at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands (MBS).
Coming in at 2,300 sq m and spanning across three storeys topped by a 30m-high ceiling, the party playground will house an eight-armed indoor ferris wheel - with a photo booth in each pod- offering views of the dance floor. A three-storey-high slide will also add to the carnival-like atmosphere.
The space - formerly occupied by one of MBS' theatres - is more than twice as large as Zouk in Clarke Quay, and Ce La Vi on the rooftop of MBS, which are both about 900 sq m.
Marquee Singapore is the latest in a line of outposts established by the long-running Marquee New York, which opened its doors in 2003. The club, owned by Tao Group - one of the United States' leading nightlife, entertainment and dining businesses - also has outlets in Las Vegas and Sydney.
As part of the opening, there will be a red carpet event, as well as a slew of internationally-acclaimed DJs taking to the decks. The line-up is yet to be announced, although Marquee's outlets have been known to play host to the likes of DJs such as Armin Van Buuren and Kaskade and rappers Post Malone and Travis Scott.
The club component of Marquee is part of a multi-concept entertainment and dining destination that will also house Avenue, a speakeasy-style lounge set to open in May, as well as Koma, a Japanese eatery and sushi bar, which will open within the year.
