Marina Bay Sands' profits may have taken a hit, but the landmark is still a massive draw for celebrities making a stopover in Singapore.

Since its opening in 2010, stars like Katy Perry, David Beckham and Tiger Woods have been pictured there, especially in the building's famous rooftop skypark.

Most recently, Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow dazzled onlookers as she posed for a gravity-defying photo shoot while suspended on a British Airways Club World seat in the middle of the rooftop infinity pool.

Then there were the WTA Finals, which saw tennis stars the likes of Serena Williams, Eugenie Bouchard and Maria Sharapova taking shots at the iconic integrated resort.

Brazil footballer Neymar and teammates have also shared shots of themselves at Marina Bay Sands during their stopover.

We look at some of these pictures in the gallery above.
