While Las Vegas may have more casinos, I cannot imagine how they could have some just as big, crazy, and fancy as they do here. Apparently the tables in Macau make tens times as much money, so I guess there's the market for something upscale.
Last night I made my way to the Grand Lisboa. It used to be the biggest in Macau, but while I am still wondering if that is true, it definitely is the fanciest, had the best looking people in it, and probably the biggest rollers. It also had the best show, with at one point a girl dressed in Native American stripper gear who began all cultural but then through it all off and whored it up to some music a la I like to move it move it. The next casino of note, Wynn, was not to shabby, but it had water fountain shows every fifteen minutes, which were postively stunning. It also had a "Rotunda Show", where the ceiling and roof literally split apart and tress sprung forth from the ground. The MGM grand was not that impressive in comparison, although I must say that it did have an interesring area where it looked like you were outdoors.
Today, I went to The Venerian Macau. I think my life is changed. It had a killer mall with food court where I had a so-called Triple Fatburger, and they weren't lying. The mall had canals in it. And it was on the second floor. And it had foreign employees as gondola people and filled the halls with song. The Lisboa may have been the fanciest, but The Venetian was definitely out of this world.
Next stop: Hong Kong!
