If I am going to do it, I want to bring a deep wallet so I can enjoy it more for maybe 3 days or a week of vacation.

Aside from that, you also need discipline so you don't blow through your money. You could lose it all in just a few hours because these are big casinos, and of course, the limits are high. If you're going there for a vacation, just focus on the nice sights, maybe check out the bars, or enjoy some drinks, but keep your gambling limited, especially since it's not the main reason you're there. We won't really win in that situation anyway.

Having discipline is a must to have for every people because only with that can prevents them from using too much money. Discipline can makes him manage his time to playing gambling and do other things and enjoy his vacation. That will be better than just spends his time to playing gambling too long and not going to go to other exciting place in that city.

Our reason to go for a vacation is we want to enjoy our spare time with our beloved one and spends more time with them. We can go to the casino but we must reminds the time to stop gambling so we can do other thing and enjoy our vacation.

Gambling operators are everywhere, so it's not just in Vegas obviously. Look at Resort World, it is being handled by Genting Group and they have one in Singapore and the Philippines. So it's the same face and financial backers everywhere, from Vegas to Macau and any other parts of the world.

It’s true - they're everywhere, as long as the country’s laws are gambling-friendly. We even had POGOs here in the Philippines, which could’ve been huge, but they got banned. It’s a shame, we could've earned billions from that, but it just wasn’t managed properly by the regulators. But in OP's comparison, it really looks like it’s just Vegas and Macau on top, and I don’t think anyone can beat them, they’re gonna stay the leaders in the global gambling industry. It’s kind of like a tourist destination too, which is why more people keep going. But still, a big portion or even the majority is in online betting.

That's one of the place that I frequented before, RW in Manila, but I don't know. When Solaire and City of Dreams was put in the casino to rival RW, then that's where I'm regularly play right now when I want to unwind and go with my friends and to enjoy.

But definitely, it's very different if you play in Vegas as they are just very close proximity and there are a lot of people like every night as they are the gambling capital. As for Macau, I haven't been there. But I'm looking to play maybe next year and go for a vacation there just to experience it.

It allows you to bond with your friends and families and even meet new people compared to just being stuck at home. I have no problem with gambling online but if you have the extra money, why not experience what's it's like to play in a physical casino.

Oh yeah, that's one good reason too. Anyone who had been playing online inside the house must be itchy to go out and play outside. I am. But, the thick wall that had been preventing me from taking a tour at well-known hotels and casinos is the money. If I am going to do it, I want to bring a deep wallet so I can enjoy it more for maybe 3 days or a week of vacation.
You are right, it's the luxurious feeling that makes the difference and maybe an escape for those who have been stuck at home for a long time. It can also be a new experience for gamblers who have never tried playing in traditional casinos, especially in Macau.

1- Las Vegas Sands Corp
2- Wynn Resorts:
3- MGM Resorts International

The big three casinos that are dominating Vegas are the same ones running the show in Macau. They’re just expanding their business. And even if their operations in Macau somehow end up bigger than in Vegas (which I doubt), they’re not really losing anything- it’s still all theirs anyway.

So it's already huge in Macau and it is just one country that really benefited from gambling itself. And if others are interested, you can read a good thread about Macau and other countries by @avikz.

For me Las Vegas is a standard that has been set for almost everyone since we were kids, from its movies to all the articles and everything it can mean, without a doubt Macaro is another reference, but to be honest for me it is difficult for them to dethrone them, even so, I would like to one day know Las Vegas and play there in those gigantic casinos, I have only seen them on TV, really the people who live in the USA are very privileged by this beautiful country with so many good distractions that it has, for me it is not the capital of sin, sin is anyone who wants to make it seem like a sin, I would say that you have to have a lot of control both in Vegas and in Macao, but even so , in any casino you can easily lose control.

It's not Muslim dominated continent if I'm not mistaken, that's why thee are a lot of gamblers, from China obviously as Macau is one of their territory. I haven't check their history though but it could be that Chinese allow the Macau government to have casinos for their people but then it flourish to become the gambling capital now as there are a lot of whales who goes to that country just to gamble.

No, even though Macau is technically under China's sovereignty, they’ve got the autonomy to make their own laws just as long as it doesn’t go against China's basic law. That doesn’t include gambling being illegal, so they’re pretty much independent from mainland China when it comes to that. This is why Macau has the freedom to become the big gambling capital of the world while still respecting China's basic laws. There's no real clash between Macau and mainland China, they actually support each other in this setup.

Quote from: TravelMug on November 08, 2024, 06:42:02 AM

And it was reported as well that Macau has already recovered from the effect on Covid and obviously gambling is still going to be big for them. So it likely that they are really challenging Las Vegas for being a sin City or a Gambling Capital moving forward.

So I guess Asian are really known to be gamblers, specially that they have their own version of Gambling capital which is Macau.

This idea is shaped by cultural influence, but assuming all Asians are gamblers is just wrong. In fact, many Asian countries ban gambling because it goes against their teachings, especially in Muslim-majority countries with Islamic beliefs, like Afghanistan, Indonesia, and Bangladesh.

I do think that these events contribute a lot to Las Vegas' GGR since they attract a lot of tourists. For Macau to gain on Las Vegas, what events do you see in the future that should be held or strongly promoted in Macau so that they can continue this momentum of gaining on Vegas?

They should continue doing what they are already doing; they are still the gambling capital of the world and continue to be so. When your source of income is only the casino industry, then the only way is to strengthen the tourism and to offer incentives to casino operators, so when a gambler thinks of a good place to relax and gamble, Macau will be the first in any gambler's thoughts than Las Vegas.

This stat will not lie why Macau is still the most preferred gambling hub in the world

Whether Sin City wins or Gambling Capital claims victory, it doesn’t really do much on a larger scale because many people are already knowledgeable about which they would probably want to play. If they really want to improve their standings, maybe they could add more entertainment, not just gambling but music festivals, gaming events, sports events, and other themed things.

There are also different cities that are known right now or are up-and-coming, like Singapore, where tourism and gambling could be a thing, but I don’t know what the GGR would be.

Looking at how they behave, I doubt that even 1% is capable or ready to go out of the framework set by the CP. Although I somewhat understand that it is not easy to go against such a government, considering how the communists deal with those who think differently.

They always had a supreme ruler, either the emperor, a local warlord, the CCP, to be honest, I don't think democracy would be a good thing for them if introduced abruptly, it might end worse than what they have now, we can look at how it has worked when there was no framework laid before like in Africa and I can say for sure nobody is thrilled by those results.

Quote from: Lucius on November 04, 2024, 04:13:40 AM

The Chinese can be somewhat happy that they have areas like Hong Kong or Macau where they can at least somewhat pretend that they have some rights - if nothing else, at least to gamble and invest in cryptocurrencies.

I'm sure the Chinese have a saying for that too but the I'll stick to the known expression: " panem et circenses".
Allow them some freedom so they don't see how little freedom they actually have.

I've never been to Las Vegas or Macau, but I've heard a lot about these places. China has been developing very fast in recent decades compared to other countries and I am sure that they can become leaders in gambling. What will it take? - Invest money wisely. And as we all know the Chinese know how to do it. I will not be surprised if in 5-10 years Macau will be considered the most visited place for gambling fans. At least if I had a choice of where to go I would prefer Macau to Las Vegas.

I have only heard the name of the city of sin, in my country there is no legalized gambling at all, most gambling activities are carried out illegally, I really want to enter the city of sin like Macau or Las Vegas, but that is impossible, because I think there will be no small money there

I would imagine this would be solely based off of how many citizens are in China. I can tell you that China is not a very popular vacation destination, especially when it comes to going and trying to win money. People fear the Chinese government, straight up.

Vegas as lost a lot of it's luster to US citizens for quite some time now as it's overly expensive and not a lot of change happens ( the Sphere is a big deal now though, I really want to check it out).

The fact is that Vegas is more recognizable and advertised about him probably all thanks to the films. I think and many would like to eat there at least once. What to concern Macau, then he still earns more and there is more money there, all the same asia The population density there is much larger from here and numbers. I would not put them as two competitive groups since these are two completely different mental worlds, although the games are the same.

I thought you were going to say that the Internet is now the gambling capital of the world. Why? Because most gamblers now are just gambling online rather than paying for an expensive physical casino gambling place. If that's the case, then reputable gambling sites where they are licensed must have the most profits out of it.

Anyway, I still believe Las Vegas is a well-known place when it comes to casinos. I think it had been drilled to the head of many people although the numbers would not say that anymore. Well, since the population is higher in Asia, Macau will definitely have the highest profits and I think that will keep on going for many years.

But still though, there are a lot of gamblers flocking those brick and mortar casinos. I went just last night, and I observed that there are a lot of players and almost all the table are loaded with players and only few is not occupied.

And in Asia, I know that there are the Chinese and the Japanese still playing in land base casinos. Again, just last night, I saw this nationalities sitting on most table. So I guess Asian are really known to be gamblers, specially that they have their own version of Gambling capital which is Macau.

Installing a democratically elected government in China will help in attracting more non-Chinese tourists/gamblers to Macau.

Yup good luck with that, now for a bit of Trivia, China has never had true elections in its entire history, do you think it will happen now or at least this century? I don't even know if Chinese people can even grasp the concept of actually electing their rulers.

Looking at how they behave, I doubt that even 1% is capable or ready to go out of the framework set by the CP.
