Vegas is a destination which is on everyone’s travel wish list. Glamour, glitz and tons of entertainment, it is THE place to go if you want to have the time of your life. But did you know that there is another place, just as glamorous and glitzy, but much closer to home? Macau!

Macau is undoubtedly a great place for gaming and entertainment, but there’s a lot more that it has to offer, making it well-deserving of a spot on your travel wish list!

1. You won’t be spending TWO ENTIRE DAYS on a flight!

This means that you can spend more time gaming!

3. It is home to ‘City of Dreams.’

With luxury hotels, spas and lots of shows to keep you entertained, city of dreams is a must visit! If you can, try and catch ‘Taboo,’ a production which will make you face your darkest demons!

4. You can get a 360 degree view of the entire city from Macau Tower.

Get transported to 223 metres above ground in 60 seconds to see the ever-changing skyline of Macau. And if you want a slower, but more adventurous ride up, you can climb the tower.

6. The Macanese cuisine is a blend of Portugese and Chinese cuisine, unique to Macau.

You certainly won’t get such delicacies in Vegas.
