Macau has been a gambling haven for the people of Hong Kong and Chinese alike, but the new casinos that are being established are bringing in gamblers from all over the world. These casinos range from the historical Lisboa to the brand new Wynn. Since Macau was handed back over to China in 1999, gambling has seen a large amount of growth and has surpassed Las Vegas as the world’s largest gambling operation in 2007.

The Casino Lisboa is one of the oldest casinos in Macau. This casino recently was renovated and remodeled in 2007 and is much more attractive than it used to be. The casino is still low on glitz and glammer, and instead packed with a warren of rooms hiding seasoned gamblers. If you are looking for a Las Vegas experience, this is not the casino for you, but if you are a seasoned gambler, you will enjoy your stay here.

The Wynn Macau opened in 2006 and has made a big splash in Macau. This casino is noticeably smaller than its competing casinos, but it is absolutely beautiful. The design is award winning and is the cream of the crop for people to enjoy a superior Las Vegas style casino with high stakes gambling tournaments. This casino’s superior service and image make it an attraction to all gamblers that come to Macau.

The Galaxy Rio is the biggest casino in town. The Galaxy Rio is much more refined that the Wynn and its small size helps it keep a more intimate gaming atmosphere. This casino has a large group of loyal followers. If you are looking for a truly elegant place to gamble, you cannot beat the Galaxy Rio.

The Venetian Casino Resort opened in 2007 and is the biggest game in town. The Venetian is the first of several casinos scheduled to open on the Cotai strip, which hopes to rival the famous strip in Las Vegas. This casino bleeds Las Vegas style and has one of the largest gaming halls of all the casinos in Macau. The casino does feel a bit out of town, but once the Cotai Strip is finished, it will seem like it is in the center of town.

The Sands Macau was the first Las Vegas style casino that came to Macau. The casino has live bands, buffets, and free drinks which are all associated with the Las Vegas gambling style casinos. The Sands is officially the biggest casino in the world and has set the standard high. This casino has a massive gaming floor. The only downside to this large room is that it feels like an airplane hangar and lacks some character which it desperately needs.

As you can see there are several gambling destinations to visit while in Macaue and the Cotai Strip project will definitely be interesting to keep an eye on. Las Vegas casinos have certainly made an impact to the larges gambling destination in the world, but if you decide to visit, you can be assured that there are casinos there that will blow your mind and make your experience very enjoyable.
