A 1 hour ride on the 'Turbo Jet' ferry took us across the waters to Macau. Our 1st stop was for lunch at the famous 'Fernandos', followed by a quick stroll through the local beach front area. After a 20-minute bus ride back into town, some of us had the 'casino-itch', so we made a stop at the newly built Wynn Hotel. Just like its sister in Vegas, this place was huge, grand and sparkling. Combine the hotel-front water show and you got yourself a wannabe Bellagio! None of us took on the many 'bacarrat' tables, but aC couldn't help bet spend some time at the slots. In our usual fashion, i left her alone to focus and to feel her luck out. 20 minutes later, she was $350 hk richer, and her eyes were sparking like she had hit gold. "Noodle-soup is on me tonite' was her only reply to everyone!
Macau is Vegas, without the towering monster hotels, the Hummer limos, the latinos on every street corner handing out XXX invites, the Cirque du Soleils', the Celines', the Sigfried's and all the silicone infested crowds. Nevertheless, a fun place for the day, but like any gambling town, there comes a time when you just need to 'get out'.
After an intense and annoying method to standby for an earlier ferry, we made it home just before 10 pm. A long day, but a great experience for us all!
We concluded this day with a late nite dinner at Pacific Place.

I dropped 500HK in about 8 hands of blackjack, so at least you came out ahead.
