NEED ADVICE FOR MACAU TRIP

[F_LAT_INO]

Gents,
Would greatly appreciate some hints and tips
prior to going there.OK Google it some will say,
but personal experience would be very welcome.

It's been a few years since I've been to Macau.   However, it was during my roulette phase of gambling so it was nice for me.  Even showed a profit week after week!

We stayed in Kowloon and took the JetBoat over and back on day trips to Macau.

First class service with a light meal, drinks, pretty girls and of course, the excellent boat ride over!

As much as I hate to admit it, I played most of my time in the Lisboa Casino.   Very old, historic, kind of dirty and a bit dark inside.   Hopefully that has changed by now as probably everybody goes to the Venetian now.

The Venetian was just opening when I retired and stopped going to Hong Kong so I didn't get to play in it much.   As I was doing well at the Lisboa, I tended to play there to keep the streak going!

Airball was the king of roulette back then and hopefully someone will chime in with what's there now.

Also, the very first time I went over I rented a cab to get to the casino.  Not really needed.  Every hotel has dedicated shuttles from the terminal that run about every 15 minutes or so.

ADulay,
Thanks for replay.
I can't find anywhere on the net Macau casinos guide
where one can see what kind of tables there/euro--amer./
table limits,poss.of spreadsheet and things like that.
I have reserved hotel--Grand Park--nearbay Wynne and Lisboa
casinos,but will probably play in Venetian,or one where Euro
rules apply,or maybe even airball after observing it firstly.

At the time I was playing there, I think whomever "designed" the staff uniforms must have recently been retired from the Chinese military or something.

If you didn't know you were in a casino, you would think it was a para-military gambling hall or something.   All they needed were automatic weapons and the scene would have been perfect.

Luckily, the Venetian figured out the beautiful women dressed perfectly were a much bigger draw than drab dark green and dark blue uniforms for their casino staff!

Oh, what the heck.  As long as I'm posting up graphics today, may as well add this one of the ticket from the JetBoat.

I'll be headed to the casino tomorrow so I'm kind of bored tonight.  All practice is done and my pens are ready to go!

1 US$ was worth 7.74HK$.   I believe it's pretty close to that now.  A very stable currency.

The "standard" bill to carry was the 100HK$.  Kind of like the 20US$ as the normal daily working small bill.

ooooh  "Privilege"

ooooh  "Privilege" 

I think that means I didn't have to ride in "steerage" or the engine room or something equally uncivilized!

All the best Flat. You will find big casinos there. You can google for their websites and update your infos by calling them over phone. That is what I did on a trip like this.

to top on the tables after these calls LOL.....Very expensive calling
from here to there.I will find my way somehow.

And that would be where your Skype account comes in.

I've used it to call many landlines (real phones and cell phones) all over Asia from here in the Colonies.   I'm sure the prices wouldn't break your bankroll for a 15 minute call.
