Macau (China's Vegas)



Last weekend my roommates and I decided to go to Macau for the night.  Macau is an island an hour boat ride from Hong Kong.  Huge hotels and casinos dominate the island, it's basically the Vegas of Asia.  However it didn't really live up to the hype, it seemed as if everyone was loosing (including ourselves) and the Wynn was the only casino which served free drinks.  I guess the Asian culture is to blame for the lack of enthusiasm and dislike for alcohol.
Unfortunately, there was a Typhoon warning in place when we left.  This resulted in a rough hour on the boat and running from casino to casino to avoid the torrential rain.  





No pictures in the casinos....
