Go up the main road (in yellow) to San Ma Lo and before you get there turn right at the other road in yellow. Walk along to the area highlighted in red, on the right hand side is a photo store that will help you and one of them can speak English.

Hey,
I just moved to Macau and live in Nova City, too.

Do you sometimes play at the Wynn or Venetian?

I am sure in Shanghai it is great but in Macau it sucks.

D2 is bad music and full of hookers, D3 at Fisherman's Wharf is meant to be better with harder music (not sure about the hooker situation) and is where a lot of locals go. Lion's Bar at MGM has a good crowd with not too many hookers but music policy is top 40 cover bands. Pole dancing at MP3 down on the waterfront near MGM and it is all downhill from there my friend.....
If you are in Macau I suggest hitting Hong Kong for a good weekend.

Funnily enough those are the two rooms I never play at.

Wynn is too cramped and hard to get a seat while the Venetian has a sterile feel about it and operates under a policy of 'regs can do what they want'. I know there are plenty of fish there but I seem to run bad every time I walk in the door - so I don't go through that door any more...

Bellini at the Venetian is quite good, especially Wednesdays, 'cause then they have Ladies Night (free drinks for girls) so there are tons of hot western girls. But when I was there another night, there were hardly any people.

Where are there regular 50/100+ games?

Is it possible to get a poker room rate staying at one of the nicer hotels like Wynn? For example at Bellagio in Vegas I pay $149/night when the standard room rate is several times that, in exchange for playing a set number of hours of poker.

No rates for poker

Unfortunately for us due to the high occupancy rates in Macau hotels it is not necessary to offer large discounts to poker players. As someone in the Macau Poker thread mentioned Macau has over 30,000,000 visitors per year (and growing) so discounts are not really necessary from a pure business perspective.

I understand this for a company but as a customer I must disagree. I don't see this model sustainable on the long run, it is pretty insane that the average hotel rates in Macau are more expensive than Hong Kong, about doble prices than Vegas and most are more expensive than the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore. I even got to pay aprox 400HK$ for the most ****** room I have ever seen, a scary dirty motel that wouldn't even have a rating in another country, of course it was 3am sunday morning and they had to take advantage from me

From a "pure business perspective" it's obvious that they prefer a poker player to stay at another hotel and still likely rake 1-2kHK$ a night at your casino and not give him discount, knowing that another (even if he plays roulette 10min at your casino) will pay the full rate, its easy business with no discount

Maybe Macau now is short for accommodation but I guess with what is building atm and more and more hotels coming up it will balance in a few years, occupancy won't be 100% on weekends and you will have to drop prices and pay attention to VIP care and treatment to regulars, kinda the same what happens every single time on every tourist booming area. Macau's casinos x4 profit LV last year has a lot to do with its prices

GZ,

They can lower rates when that happens. No need to lower it now.

Went to taibei once. Seemed like a really really ****** new york.

Also Taiwan chicks are about as low down on the Chinese totem pole as you can go. Seriously i think id rather chase thai girls then taiwan.

Now here is where you come and post some random pics of hot chicks from clubs. Well i dont care, i look at the hotness level averaged over every woman. Taiwan doesnt rank high.

Also the people in this city all seem like huge douches, present company NOT excluded.

You are either delusional, jealous, or have never been to Taipei. I've lived in multiple cities in China (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen), lived in Taipei, and traveled all over Asia. There is no doubt in my mind that Taipei has the hottest woman per capita that I've ever seen in Asia let alone China. No offense to the PRC but I think they have one of the lowest.

I also found the Taiwanese to be just as kind as people from the Dalu. Maybe your post was some kind of ******ed level? You used to be a solid poster in this thread, but lately you've just been a troll. Bring back the old Rosie please. Back to lurking...

I got a nice discount at StarWorld last time I was there, though from what I read the games aren't great there these days...

Maybe things have changed? Think that was about two years ago.

Wynn also offered me a poker rate when I asked but it wasn't very good - they said they were working on something better.

Find it difficult to believe that there are so many visitors that they are fully booked 365 days a year and find no benefit in offering discounts to high volume players........
