MAJOR MACAU PENINSULA AND TAIPA ISLAND HOTELS AND CASINOS

I thought I would add some information on the non-Cotai Macau hotels and casinos since there is a lot going on outside of Cotai as well.

When you look at Macau as a whole (Macau plus Cotai plus Taipa), Macao could be nearing 60,000 hotel rooms over the next five years, up from about 10,000 hotel rooms just a few short years ago, according to a Las Vegas Sands executive. On the casino front, the Macau government reports 25 casinos throughout all of Macau as of June 2007, with another ten to be added by 2010.

I don’t follow the Macau Peninsula as closely as I should, so if anyone catches an error or an omission, please let me know and I’ll fix it. Except for the Crown Macau, everything below is located on the Macau Peninsula and is what I would consider one of the “major” hotel casinos.

Open

Las Vegas Sands’ Sands Macao

  • Revolutionized the sleepy Macau gaming market when it opened in May 2004 as Macau’s first non-Stanley Ho casino

Wynn Resorts’ Wynn Macau

  • A mini-version of Wynn Las Vegas, but still just as classy and sleek.

Hotel Lisboa

  • The Macao landmark.

Grand Lisboa

  • Stanley Ho’s Lisboa brand steps it up a few notches to keep pace with Steve and Sheldon

Galaxy Entertainment’s Starworld Macau

  • Tall, colorful, exciting. This is Macau VIP gambling done right.

PBL-Melco’s Crown Macau

  • Macau’s first six-star hotel (didn’t know there were six-star ratings but who am I to argue)

Under Construction

MGM Grand Macau

  • Will the lion roar in Macau. I’m betting it will.

Stanley Ho’s Oceanus Casino

  • One really cool looking casino. You won’t forget it when it opens.

Macau Success’ Ponte 16

  • Waterfront gambling and views!
