澳门是世界闻名的“东方蒙地卡罗”和“亚洲拉斯维加斯”，但是，也许，将拉斯维加斯重新命名为“美国的澳门” 更合适。这是因为澳门的博彩收入实际上是比内华达州还要大，并且，澳门的赌场所提供的游戏的范围，可能是世界上最宽的。澳门也以提供住世界上最大的赌场而自豪，以及在路凼金光大道的威尼斯人度假村。

　　澳门大约有30赌场，分辨哪一个是好的、哪一个是不好的，这确实是不可能的。赌博是比什么都重要，个人品味和感觉的问题。您可以在某一个赌场感觉很舒服而在另一个感觉非常不走运。但这并没有什么潜规则。

　　尽管有上述规定，如果你不希望一夜暴富，所有你想要的只是体验特殊的氛围、享受一点乐趣，那么，肯定澳门有几个赌场是值得你去的。这些赌场当中有些看起来比你所见过的都要奢侈，并且氛围很炫目。

　　一个来自'Metropolasia-Man'的小见解：

　　中国人就是喜欢赌博，他们对数不胜数的与赌博有关的迷信赋予重视，所以当他们玩的时候看着他们，可谓相当迷人。

　　一般来说，在澳门有两个主要赌场领域：赌场带，正如普遍已知的，它是从澳门渡轮码头沿大马路--澳门友谊一连串绵延通过的渔人码头的酒店和赌场，一路沿着葡京酒店及周边地区。

　　路氹金光大道，在连接凼仔岛和路环岛的填海土地上，与市中心南部相隔只有仅仅几公里，是世界上最财大气粗的赌场 --度假村的圣地，并自诩为“世界上增长最快的成人游乐场”发源地。在写作时，该地区的大部分看起来像一个巨大的工地，但这应该不会打扰你，导致在这些宏伟的赌场配合物的一切看起来非常整洁。

　　如果你认为你与动物在一起很可能会比与人造机器或肉和血经销商在一起有更多的运气，在澳门有两个场地您可能希望访问：Racecourse 和Canidrome。

　　当我们访问一个澳门赌场的时候，有几件事情你应该记住，：

　　 1、参观赌场或其他赌博场地的外国游客必须至少18岁。

　　2、你应该带上你的护照。

　　3、在澳门赌场穿着连衣裙是不是太严格的，但是，你不能穿着太随意（短裤、T恤、凉鞋、 拖  鞋，或其他任何你喜欢的......）

　　4、相机和武器都是不允许的。摄影是禁止的。

　　你知道吗？

　　澳门赌博业的历史可追溯到150年以上，那时，葡萄牙殖民当局决定将赌博列为合法化的活动。然而，真正的繁荣在1961年才开始，何鸿燊的Sociedade赛车发送Diversoes到澳门时在全港所有形式的赌博被授予的垄断权。

　　2002年，澳门政府结束专卖制度，像美国赌场大亨史蒂夫永利和谢尔登?埃德森来和投资铺平道路。大量投资到位，并在很短的时间内，城市管理试图超过拉斯维加斯的世界顶级游戏和娱乐中心。

　　祝你好运！

　　Introduction to casinos and gambling in Macau

　　Macau is known worldwide as the "Monte Carlo of the Orient" and the "Asian Las Vegas" but, perhaps, it would have been more appropriate to rename Vegas "America's Macau"... That is because Macau's gambling revenues are actually bigger than those of its Nevada counterpart, and the range of games, offered by its casinos, is probably the widest in the world.  Macau can also pride itself for housing the world's largest casino, at the Venetian Resort in Cotai Strip.

　　.

　　There are around thirty casinos in Macau and it is truly impossible to tell which one is better and which is not... Gambling is, more than anything else, a question of personal taste and feeling... You can feel very comfortable at a certain casino and feel extremely unlucky at another... There isn't really any rule behind it...

　　Notwithstanding the above, if you don't expect to become rich overnight and all you want is to experience the special atmosphere and have a bit of fun, then there are definitely a few casinos in Macau you should make an effort to visit... Some of those casinos look more extravagant and glitzy than anything you have ever seen, and the ambience is umatched.

　　A small insight from 'Metropolasia-Man' :

　　The Chinese just love to gamble and they ascribe great importance to their zillion gambling-related superstitions, so watching them, as they play, can be quite fascinating...

　　Generally speaking, there are two main casino areas in Macau: The Casino Belt, as it is popularly known, is a string of hotels and casinos that stretches along Avenida de Amizade, from Macau's Ferry Terminal, through the Fisherman's Wharf, all the way down to Lisboa Hotel and its vicinity.

　　Cotai Strip, on the reclaimed land that connects the islands of Taipa and Coloane, just a few kilometers south of the city centre, is home to some of the world's most ostentatious casino-resorts and describes itself as "The world's fastest growing adult playground"... As of at the time of writing, most of the area looks like one huge construction site, but that shouldn't really bother you, cause inside these grandiose casino complexes everything looks extremely neat and tidy...

　　If you think you are likely to have more luck with animals than with manmade machines or flesh-and-blood dealers, there are two venues in Macau you might want to visit: These are the Racecourse  and the Canidrome

　　There are a few things you should remember, when visiting a casino in Macau :

　　·Foreign visitors must be at least 18 years old to visit a casino or another gambling venue.

　　·You should have your passport with you.

　　·Dress-code in Macau's casinos is not too strict, however, you can't dress too casual... (shorts, T-shirts, sandals, slippers and the likes are out of the question...)

　　·Cameras and weapons are not allowed. Photography is prohibited.

　　Did you know ?

　　The history of Macau's gambling industry goes back more than 150 years, when the Portuguese colonial authorities decided to legalize the activity. The real boom, however, started only in 1961, when Stanley Ho's Sociedade de Turismo e Diversoes de Macau was granted the monopoly rights to all forms of gambling in the territory.

　　In 2002, the Macau government ended the monopoly system, paving the road for American casino moguls like Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson to come in and invest.  The heavy investments did come and at a very short period of time the city managed to surpass Las Vegas as the world's top gaming and entertainment hub.

　　Good Luck !
