sounds too much like macaca to me. i'd have them change their name to something more appealing.
like sexland.
never been to sexland. i hear it's nice though. when you going?

Former portuguese colony, went back to china in 1999, very close to Hong Kong, and they love love love baccarat.

there was a great triad war between two rival companies back in the 80s shook up the whole island and i think they drafted in the army to help out.

Looks like a decent resource.

actually, being an avid gambler, macau, table game wise, is the largest casino in the world. the sand or sands casino i think.
i know mgm is building one out there soon along with a venetian casino/hotel as well.
such a far plane ride though. vegas is only 4 hours from me. china. 47. or something.

I've spent a couple of days there. It's ok, but HK is more fun.
I stayed here.

Shit I hadn't finished!
The casinos are fucking rubbish and should never have been allowed on the island.
There is still a lot of the old Portugese architecture around which is wonderful. The St Pauls church ruins are great, and Hac Sa beach on Taipa island has one of the best Portugese restaurants you will ever go to - Fernandos!
We used to pop over from HK (an hour trip on a high speed Jetfoil) on teh weekends for dinner there or to go shopping - there are a few streets with shops and shops of wonderful old antique chinese furniture.
If you're going and want to see some of the Old Macau drop me an email and I'll hook you up.

Macau. Lot of Hollywood Gangster movies shot there. Portugues Chinese food. Crazy place from what my friends tell me. They go up and down the Chinese coast looking for crap goods to buy.
