Macau

I visited Macau last weekend. For nearly 500 years it was a Portuguese colony. Now it is a Special Administrative Region in China (much like Hong Kong) and home to a number of casinos. Here is inside the MGM Grand. I am happy to report that I won enough to pay for my trip and then some! 

Here is Rossio, a restaurant in the MGM Grand. The interior designer is Super Potato from Japan, famous for use of wood and stone. The food and wine was pretty good too! 
I didn't stop at the Venetian, but it looks way over the top! 
And here's a view from the Westin Resort Macau where I did stay overnight. Nice to find a place so idyllic so close yet so far from the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong and the casinos in Macao.
