My ticket to the "Las Vegas of the East".
Pulling up to the port in Macau, you can see the Sands Casino (Left) and some of the attractions that are a part of Fisherman's Wharf.
St. Anthony's Church
Inside the church. The alter.
The famed Ruins of St. Paul's. Quite a spectacle.
Just by turning around, you can see the massive amount of other people roaming around Macau.
Canons lining the Fortaleza do Monte, a historical military fort of the former Portuguese colony of Macau.
Close up of a canon, which I assume is unintentionally aimed at the Grand Lisboa Casino.
View from the top of the hill, looking down at the St. Paul Ruins. The Museum of Macau is also located on the top of the hill, but we didn't get a chance to go inside.
Panoramic shot of the mainland area of Macau.
The weather was alright, it was fairly warm and it didn't rain. But it was pretty foggy that day. That is the Macau tower shrouded in fog. Couldn't even see the top of the tower, which is also why we decided not to go up it.
The Wynn had a fountain in front which had a show every so often. In the background is the Grand Lisboa and Casino Lisboa.
A pork chop bun, the Macanese version of a hamburger, the name pretty much says it all: it's a slice of fried pork (often with a few chunks of bone left) placed inside a baked bun. We had one as an afternoon snack.
Inside the Venetian Macao, the biggest casino in the world. A very impressive hotel/casino which included ceilings with clouds.
It even had room for a gondola ride inside.
Overall, an enjoyable day trip. Macau is not a very big place, but the Casinos there almost rival those in Las Vegas. I only gambled a little bit, but luckily I didn't lose very much money. A couple of my other friends played roulette and blackjack, and even walked away with a few extra hundred $HK.
