Rightfully dubbed as the Far East’s Las Vegas, Macau boasts a variety of big name casinos and then some. Not only are these one stop hotel and casino establishments huge, they’re also literally everywhere. In fact, when we were there, a bunch of new buildings were being constructed – and mind you, they were as big as, if not bigger than, the existing ones. In disbelief, I asked my mom how the hotels – both current and upcoming – were ever gonna fill the rooms up. Needless to say, I got my answer after observing the throngs of tourists at any given moment inside the casino halls. The casinos are very accessible with hotel shuttles from all major points of entry. You can also take advantage of inter-hotel shuttles available to selected chains. All these for free, so it’s no surprise that they can attract the crowds. I’m not really a gambler (by luck and not by choice) but I enjoy visiting these themed casinos for their architecture and interiors. It is definitely worth a visit especially if you’ve never been to Vegas. From what I remember, the standards are quite comparable and we get to save on airfare too. Now if only we can find Elvis… kidding!!! 🙂
