We were excited to be returning to Macau as it has been approximately 8 years since we last visited. We flew into Hong Kong as we were keen to travel to Macau on the new 55km Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau bridge. The journey takes 40 minutes and is the longest bridge/tunnel sea crossing in the world.
We stayed in the Crowne Plaza hotel which was lovely with great rooms, service and excellent buffet breakfast. Crowne Plaza Macau
Macau is known as the Vegas of the East as there are just over 50 casinos, the largest being The Venetian. The Venetian offers a resort, casino and the Grand Canal shopping centre (complete with gondolas and serenading gondoliers!). We spent most evenings visiting the various casino/resorts as all have good restaurants, entertainment and shops. We also had a lovely day and evening touring the old Portuguese area which collectively have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
