Macau
Place Your Bets: Which Gambling Hot Spot Now Dwarfs Las Vegas?
With gaming revenue surpassing $33 billion last year, this new gambling destination makes Sin City bets look like chump change. By Travis Hoium, The Motley Fool If you thought Las Vegas was where the big gamblers went to play, you're behind the times. Vegas has been overtaken by the new hottest gaming location: Macau, China. It wasn't always this way. Before Las Vegas Sands (LVS) opened Sands Macao in 2004, Stanley Ho had a monopoly over Macau's gaming. Corruption and mob activity were rampant. But when the government opened up the region to five new operators, the players started pouring in. Las Vegas Sands made enough money in its first year there to pay for its first casino. (It's opening another major resort in the next few weeks.) Others soon followed -- Wynn Resorts (WYNN), Melco Crown (MPEL), Galaxy, and MGM Resorts (MGM) -- turning Macau into the center of the gambling universe. In Vegas, They Play for Chump Change High rollers are treated like royalty in Macau, as they are anywhere they go. But these VIP players bet big -- bigger than they do stateside. Baccarat's the big game in Macau, with the game generating in excess of 70% of the revenue in Macau casinos. Today, Las Vegas is to Macau what Atlantic City is to Las Vegas. And at the current rate of growth, Macau will soon generate four times as much gaming revenue as the old gaming capital of the world very soon.... source:http://www.walletpop.ca/2012/04/02/p...6pLid%3D148490 |

Been to Macau (more often than I should have...
 ), been to Las Vegas. Liked both very much; both cities have a unique character.

Macau's gaming industry has certainly grown and has overtaken Las Vegas as the foremost gambling hotspot. Asia as a whole, is starting to see the potentials of casinos as a big revenue generator.
The Philippines has certainly joined the bandwagon and is expected to be one of the major gaming hubs in the region; though personally, I don't think it will be as big as Macau's gaming industry. Presently, a $5B casino complex is being constructed in Manila Bay, to be developed by four different investors. Quote:
