Macau
Five years ago, no one would have believed that the small, Chinese peninsula of Macau would ever rival America’s Sin City, but today it's not only surpassed that casino-superstar in gambling revenue, but it's gaining on it in reputation to boot. Whether you’re a card player (poker, blackjack, baccarat) or a fan of roulette, boule, or slots, Macau has your game. Packed into its 11 square miles (less than half the size of Manhattan island) are 26 casinos, including the $2.4 billion Venetian Macau – the mammoth gaming/hotel complex with 4,000 slots and 800 gaming tables that became the world’s largest casino when it opened in August 2007. Now Wynn and MGM are upping the ante with billions of dollars’ worth of expansions scheduled for their Macau resorts, and big-name properties – the Four Seasons, Shangri-La, InterContinental – have high-rolling plans to open new casino-hotels here as well. Conclusion? Move over Vegas, Macau is on a roll!
