    The casino business in Macau has a much longer history than that of Las Vegas. Macau legalized gambling in 1849 after centuries of it being a thing. Meanwhile, Las Vegas was founded in 1905. So the title should be called ''How the US built its own Macau... but smaller'' lol.

      Macau legalized gambling in the 1850s under Portuguese administration, establishing a long-standing tradition of gaming. In contrast, Las Vegas was founded in 1905, and Nevada legalized gambling in 1931, marking the beginning of its casino industry. Therefore, Macau's casino history predates that of Las Vegas by several decades. Referring to Las Vegas as the U.S.'s version of Macau, albeit smaller, aligns with the historical timelines of their respective gambling industries.

    The gambling world of Macau is much more than just Stanley Ho. I was surprised that you did not mention Sand Macau which opened in 2005, the first ever foreign funded Casino licensed to run gambling business in Macau. The franchise was later diverted from one or two to six gambling licenses that attracted enormous foreign money to build mega casinos, which shaped what Macau is nowadays as gambling capital of the world. Morpheus is amazing but there are much much more that you did not cover.

    The bringing in of new concessions was hardly competition for Stanley Ho. The Ho family run the gaming bureau and have large investments in and hold prominent roles in the other concessionaires. By bringing in these new concessionaires, they opened Macau to the world stage and brought in massive foreign investment which the Ho family only benefits from.

He reports to Xi the President of China but still maintains a separate governing and economic system from mainland China. It will last for 50 years from 1999 when it was handed over by the Portuguese. In 2049 by then, Macau will have the same system as similar to the mainland China. Btw: In 20 Dec we will be celebrating 25 years since the handover from the Portuguese to the Chinese.

There are tons of entertainments, concerts and exhibitions in addition to nightlife, or perhaps you did not look close enough to find the nightclubs, pool party, lounges and disco or you have never heard of House of Dancing water before. There are many American singers that have been to Macau to perform, like Celine Dion, Katy Parry, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey etc etc and BTS, Blackpink, Stray Kids and many many more. By the way, Bruno Mars is coming to Macau for concert next month. You are welcome !
