Dear brothers,

I've been trying to read the forum to get some suggestions for hotels in Macao close to mongering but still decided to ask for some advice from the more experienced brothers.

I will be on my first 4 to 6 day trip to Macao in a couple of weeks. The seminar (3GSM Macao) is at the Venetian. However, it will be more important to be close to action rather than to Venetian.

My regular Mongolian girl in Beijing suggested for the Mandarin Oriental as she had often been there earlier but by reading the forum, I cannot see much action there anymore. Is that true?

From the forum, I can see two alternatives; Holiday Inn and Hotel Lisboa. Can someone please suggest a good hotel (company pays) with good location to the mongering action? I mainly am after Maggies or Hollywood type of action where you can get an allnighter into your room... I saw some SW's being close to Holiday Inna and Lisboa... However, I am after good quality women!

Thanks for your help buddies in getting me a good business hotel close to action. Will promise to do my report afterwards.

COB,

If your company is paying why not stay at the new Venetian Resort
Suite they have 3000 suite starting at 140 usd a night and Macau is a small place and you can get a Taxi to take you to any sauna in macau less than 10 min.

Yes, the old Lisboa Hotel is close to all the actions and the Grand Lisboa Hotel across the street is not open yet, just the casino is open .

Am going to be in Macau soon and was booked into Royal Hotel, Macau.

Can anyone tell me if there is a good sauna/massage in this hotel?

Must I travel to Rio or Golden Dragon (18) to get a good time?

Thanks

Hello MT2, COB and Ender,

The face of Macau is changing rapidly but one thing stays the same; Macau is small and compact. You can get pretty much anywhere you want to be in a 10 or 15 minute bus or cab ride.

That being said, it then boils down to the hotels. If I'm not mistaken, the Venetian is now the largest hotel in Asia. With over 3000 suites, it is a city onto itself so you never know who you will find there. Although it is on Taipa, you can have the hotel shuttle bus drop you most anywhere in less than 15 minutes.

If your company is footing your bill, I would pick the newest hotels closer to the ferry terminal, namely Grand Lisboa, the Wynn and the Sands. The Wynn is a nice casino to gamble in and the rooms are fabulous. Have not stayed in the other two yet.

Finally, a great value hotel is the Best Western on Taipa. Very clean and only three years old, it is walking distance to old Taipa town. They also have a shuttle bus that can wisk you to the terminal area. Yes DD Disco is similar to LA Cafe but the action does not start until after 11:00 pm. Most taxi drivers should know their new location by now.

Take it sleazy,

I just talked to a friend who stayed at the Venetian during the trade fair. He said the queues at the taxi stands and the shuttle bus could easily consume a waiting time of an hour at peak times. I was there on the opening day and had to walk to and from Taipa (around 20 minutes each way) because the taxis refused the ride due to the traffic.

The DD Disco is now called D2 and located in the AIA Tower ( 友邦廣場 ), just walk 150 m from the former DD Disco past the Grand Emperor Hotel .

I will be in town in a couple of weeks. I will be at the Wynn (company meeting). Any comments? Any action at or near the hotel? Am I too far from the action? Your help/suggestions are appreciated!

To Ender,

Macau is a very expense city money talk here and bull shit walk place , there are a bar st near the sand casino the freelancer will cost you 700-1200 hkd for the night , DD disco is near the grand Lisbon casino not sure that is still open or not , if you don't want to pay top dollar stay in Manila.

I think that the former DD disco is closed (in the basement below a park (? ), with two separate bars, one for flippers and one for Chinese), at least it looked very shut down last time I tried visiting (several months ago). Someone had previously posted that it had relocated so I asked around and ended up in what looked like an office building on the 2nd or 5th floor (can't remember). I THINK that this was the relocated DD's but don't recall a sign so can't say for sure. It was definitely much more upscale the the previous one. I sort of remember the name of the building starting with "A", like AIG or something like that, across the main road (the one perpendicular to the water, not the one with all the casinos on it) from the New Grand Lisboa if you're walking in the direction away from the ferry terminal.

Is there really a bar street near the Sands? Are you referring to the Fisherman's Wharf area? Never been through there during prime partying hours so not sure what the scene is like. I noticed a DD's Disco 3 there.

[Fast Eddie 48]

Wanted to know your opinion on a hotel choice. I can not stand paying top dollar for a hotel where I am going to either sleep, screw or be drunk in but I would like one close to the action both the casino action and the other kind. Is the DD disco like the LA Cafe in Manila? I prefer frelance places where you can drink over fishbowl style saunas.

Where is DD disco and sands.?

Thanks in advance,

Ender

I will be arriving in Macau after a week in Kota Kinabalu then heading back to Hong Kong, I have never been to Macau before so I am not sure what to expect can someone recommend a hotel not too expensive. I prefer to stay somewhere I can walk to a restaurant or bar for a bit of entertainment.

May the force be with you!

To Luke skywanker,

The hotel in Macau have been going up a bit last few yr but you can still get hotel cheap during the week 2 star hotel from 250 rmb to 2800 rmb at the wynn , The best deal is new century hotel nice large room for 400 rmb but is at Tapia Island far from Wynn but taxi is cheap and you can book hotel at travel agent on the ferry buliding .

I was there yesterday (opening day). There was no taxi available (they simply refused to go, the queue at the bus from the sands was endless, so I decided to take a bus to Taipa and walk. When I reached the area I found hordes queuing for entrance. It took 30 mins to get in.

The place is unbelievable. Megalomaniac is an understatement. On the first floore they have building facades like in fishermen's wharf and an arched ceiling in blue with clouds, so that you have the imression walking outdoors in daylight. I think a full day is not enough sto see all. They seem to have way more shops on that first floor than in all of fishermen's wharf.

We will see if they can fill all the 3000 luxury suites on the long run, but the venetian so far beats all that I have seen.

But getting out was another problem,since there were no taxis at the taxi stand, but a long queue and no one could tell me from where the bus starts. The place was packed with people. So I decided to take another 30 mins walk back to a busstop. Not an easy task either.

To tiger 888,

I will be in macau on oct venetian is offer standard suite for 140 usd and for 3000 room is not easy to fill all of them ,I think they need to offer free room like they do in Las Vegas for gambler.

This is the largest casino in the world with 6000 slot machine and 700 gaming table and over 500,000 sq ft with a large convention center.

Wow! I suppose these high end places could change the scene, and the pricing structure in the long run.
