Mmm. Visited the place incl Festive Hotel & Hard Rock Hotel. The reality is that only the 4 hotels are virtually opened for business in the IR.
Nice interior. Of course the Casino entrance is the place of 'interest' for now especially it's the first time you see the word "Casino" in Singapore. Hopefully Universal Studio Singapore would open soon. I myself would likely enter least once in my lifetime (weekday ticket cost S$66).
Anyway there's already NightRider NR1 & NR6 operating to/ from RWS to Yishun & Sengkang New Town respectively. During the Weekend daytime, there's RWS shuttle service RWS88 (S$2 per trip, to City Hall MRT Station/ Coleman St bus stop {Used by SBS Sv 130 towards Ang Mo Kio} at 20 mins frequency) and 963R (Distance related Express fares between S$1.50 and S$2.35, serving Clementi, Bt Batok, Hillview, Bt Panjang, Woodlands residential bus stops at 30 - 40 mins frequency).
It seems that SMRT has already anticipated the eventual IR crowd to be high. Hence my ride on RWS88 was terrible, the bus hogging the bus lane at 20kph along Telok Blangah Rd, Kg Bahru Rd, Eu Tong Sen St as SMRT allocated a whopping 45 mins travelling time for the short journey. Beats me though that the bus uses the congested Chinatown area (due to DTL works) than using Robinson Rd/ Fullerton Rd.
People are puzzled with RWS88 & 963R as it approaches the bus stop as SMRT has apparently missed out onto updating service information on top of the current RWS8 at the RWS bus stop. Little needs to mention there's no queueing system in place yet for RWS88 & 963R.
