To begin
with, you can sign up for a free membership to Sands Rewards LifeStyle. This
brand new lifestyle loyalty program rewards members with offers and special
privileges. For instance, the Prosperity with Style promotion will be giving
away $500,000 worth of “destination dollars” to 400 winners from January 17 to
February 10, 2013. Every Thursday to Sunday evening, there will be 25 lucky
winners drawn hourly from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the concierge on Galleria Level, The
Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. For the Members of Sand Rewards Lifestyle, every
swipe of the membership card at any Sands Rewards LifeStyle kiosk entitles you
to 10 free entries. Members can also make their way up to earn an Elite
membership status to receive more exclusive offers.
However, you do not have to hold a
membership to be able to enjoy great treats. Throughout Chinese New Year, all
300 boutiques and restaurants at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands will be
operating as usual from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sundays to Thursdays and until
midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. 70 retailers will be slashing off up to half
of the prices for their products. Nine West and Steve Madden, for example, let
you save up to 50 per cent when you spend on their shoes and accessories in the
whole month of February. Spend at least $200 on hair care or skin and body products
from Urbanhair Marina and you will be entitled to an intensive hair treatment
at only $58 (usually $348) or a stress fix massage at only $48 (usually $178).
DeGem jewelry is also offering shoppers 40 per cent off their intricate jade
pieces from January 17 to February 24, making it the perfect time for you to
get your hands on some sparkle and gem.
The team at Jin Shan led by Renowned Master
Chef Huang have created seven different dinner set menus that will showcase the
best of Cantonese, Hunan and Szechuan flavours. Each dish is given its own
unique, auspicious name and they will be available to diners throughout all 15
days of the Lunar New Year, from $128++ per person.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year,
there will be lively lion dance performances property-wide and roving
entertainment around The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. Visitors to the
ArtScience Museum both young and old can enjoy three exceptional exhibitions: The
Art of The Brick, Fujians: The Blue Ocean Legacy and Outside In:
A Magnum Photos Showcase. Through these exhibitions, you can also
take part in various workshops where you can learn interesting things such as
creating your own Fujian coin, ceramic ware or photographic images without a
camera. The retail store at ArtScience Museum will also be bringing in a new
range of merchandise specifically created for the spring festival.
