Im only going for 1/2 days, so need a basic, decent hotel that is (preferably) near the casinos that have poker. Any recommendations? These are a list of the ones that are available, and are in my price range (via expedia):
- Holiday Inn Macau
- Hotel Royal Macau
- The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel
- Starworld Hotel And Casino
- Mgm Grand Macau
- The Wynn itself (but is a little pricier).
Would you recommend booking it in advance, online, or just wait until we get there? We are going some time between Mon-Fri. Ive also heard some people talk about staying at a Sauna place (I think), would that be the best option if we are only looking for somewhere to stay for one night?
Out of these the MGM is the best option by far. If you're willing to spend a little bit more, Grand Lisboa isnt that much pricier than the MGM and might be a better option for poker.
The room at the Grand Lisboa is pretty sick, we stayed there a couple of weeks back, it has a jacuzzi/steam room, a huge rain shower and Bang and olufsen tv and sound system.
The Venetian has a huge room (600 sq ft suite) but is a little far if you wanna play poker. Macau is basically 2 different places connected by a bridge. Starworld, MGM, Wynn and Grand Lisboa are all bunched up in one area. Venetian is on a different island and is near city of dreams on the cotai strip. It's a 5 min taxi from Venetian to main Macau.
