It looks like we are now finally witnessing the early stages of Macau’s transformation from Mainland China and Hong Kong daytrip market to international destination. Now that the Venetian Macao’s expos and popularity are bringing in a more diverse group of tourists, the Cotai’s first hotel casino the Grand Waldo is changing its hotel lobby restaurant to accomodate Macau’s changing tourism industry. This may only be only one restaurant, but it shows that the very Chinese focused Grand Waldo is benefitting from the new Cotai Strip tourism and must now adapt.

Here are some pictures of the Cotai Strip® hotels and casinos that i’ve gathered from a few places on the web. Sorry for how messy and disorganized this looks - I did my best!

I believe many of my readers have never actually been to Macau, or havent been there in along time, so I hope this helps. I will try to do this more often, so if you have any pictures of Cotai or Macau hotels and casinos that you would like to share, please send them to me ateditor@cotaicasinonews.com. Next time I will have hopefully figured out a better way to post pictures.
