Mr. Ng, 65, was having dinner in a restaurant of the hotel late on Sunday night with an unidentified woman in her 30s.

Lol, Chinese business men.

But little more than a decade ago — when the city’s casinos were still under the four-decade monopoly of the gambling magnate Stanley Ho — triad murders, bombings and other attacks were so common that a senior police official once tried to reassure tourists by announcing that Macau had “professional killers who don’t miss their targets."

Looks like the casino security is a joke. I can't seeing them doing this and getting out of the door in in big Vegas casino.

Re: Old Lasvegas meets Macau

interesting that the VIP hosts also act as debt collectors/enforcers....

seems its pretty essential to the casinos that they allow gangs of some sort to operate within them lest they become unable to issue credit to whales from the mainland and/or collect bad debts from them
