Macau Casinos – Welcome to the new Las Vegas
While Las Vegas goes down the gurgler apparently Macau is becoming the new gambling meca of the world, going by the number of veteran US casino developers who are spending big bucks here, it may be true.
Here’s an incomplete list of Macaus Casinos, there’s plenty more than this, but these are the ones that stood out to me while I was there.
The new, modern and recently finished:
Venetian Macau- 800 gaming tables and over 3000 slots, yes its big! Has hotel, shopping and a multitude of dining options. Try Portofino for excellent Italian food (the best place I ate while in Macau!), at the time of my visit they had a bargain priced deal going.
