Went the the lisboa for some gambling action - excellent - dont play any of the games you know - much better to play some of the local stuff - dice & buttons are the easiest - that way it is an experience if you lose and a huge high if you win - spend a couple of minutes watching how people bet and then smack down a couple of dollars - great fun and we only saw about 5 other westerners - it was absolutely jam packed and really smokey. second floor is the best high ceilings and loads of noise. we won some and lost some and finally walked out about 500HK lighter after about 2 hours but it was worth it.

As always the furniture shopping in Macau is fantastic. We also went out to a club called Green Spot on Saturday night and had a fabulous time. There are two live bands playing.

Macau is good place to visit to gambling. But seems not good for sightseeing and shopping. My girlfried seems boring.

I only walked around Macau, though buses seemed pretty frequent and convenient. The non-gambling sites are located mostly in the center of the city, which are easily within reach by foot from the Casino Lisboa. Two days would be enough to see most of the sites.

The Portuguese population of Macau has supposedly decreased by 80% since its handover to China in 1999, which means the local Portuguese restaurant scene is somewhat diminished. One gem that remains is "A Petisquera" in Taipa (not far from the Dumbo restaurant). Truly superb cooking (octopus salad, baby sardines, fresh home made cheese, codfish cakes, clams) accompanied by an excellent and very reasonable wine selection. The two owners (Eusebio and Jose) are very gracious.
The sauna for women at the Lisboa was highly luxurious and pampering of my partner, unusual for Asia where it's generally the men's side that has all the whirlpools, steamrooms and lounge comforts.

Worth going to the Macau tower, Go-karting and of course Fernando's. Also try the Allorcha restaurant, near the Maritime Museum.
