One of our itinerary is to go to Macau in a day. From our hotel at Tsim Tsa Tsui, we walked along Harbour City until we reached the mall connecting to the pier going to some part of China including Macau. We booked a roundtrip ticket at First Ferry Macau.
First Ferry Roundtrip ticket to Macau is HK $290 each, same rate for adults and kids...
Macau is called Las Vegas of Asia because of the hotels and casinos... Upon arrival in Macau, 3 Filipinos approached us and offer their service as tour guide. Their service costs us HK $100 each and they will accompany and tour you to different tourists spots in Macau and they'll ask you a favor of signing a membership form in one of the casino.. Since its our first time in Macau, we finally agreed to the deal... Oh by the way, tour bus from the casinos are all free so no need to rent a taxi..just hop on one of the bus and you'll free to have a tour in Macau.
Our tour guide brought us first to City of Dreams casino and we were amazed of the structure and the live casino games.. Outside the casino youll see different stores... They also got us a ticket to Bubble Show...
On the entrance of the casino, youll see the giant screen that shows and feel like youre under the sea.. A mermaid will appear every minute and its one of the photo op in the City of dreams...
Never forget to watch the bubble show or the dragon show because its really nice and fun... This 3D show is really cool and youre like in a small cinema with big screen all over.. Here are some pics... Since its too dark inside, it so hard to capture nice pics... please bear..
After the show we went to Venetian Hotel and had our lunch in the Venetian Food Court.
Inside the Venetian...
I love the structure and the design of the Venetian, no wonder it is one of the famous in Macau.. And my favorite show Boys over Flowers took some scenes here...hehe
I forgot to take some pics of what we had during our lunch and what i remember was our meal cost 73 Macau Pataca. You can use Hongkong dollar but their rate is 1:1 (1 hongkong dollar = 1 Macau Pataca). Dont give large bill because if they give you Macau Pataca change, you have to use it in Macau also because Macau Pataca is not accepted in Hongkong.
Never miss this Almond Cookies with whole nut as your pasalubong back home.. This can be found near the Ruins of St. Paul...
Each box consists of HK $28 or Macau Pataca $32..
Almond Cookie with whole nut..
We leave Macau around 9:00 because our return ticket schedule was 9:30pm. We promised to be back in Macau next year because its really nice and cheap there.. We were really tired and fell asleep during our ferry trip.. Before going back to hotel, we bought fresh fruit juice along TST to freshen us before we call it a night..
Next day tour: Lantau Island and Disneyland
