If you only have time to visit one casino in Macau, there can be little debate that the Lisboa should be that one casino. Yes, there are modern western style properties, but if you want to see a traditional Macau-style casino, nothing can compare to the Lisboa.

The Lisboa is divided into two sections, the hotel/casino Lisboa and the Grand Lisboa, separated by a pedestrian bridge over Lisboa Avenue. Of the two, the Old Lisboa, on the south side of the street is much more interesting. It features various different public casinos, lots of private VIP casinos, a hotel, plenty of good restaurants, shopping, and a sauna/spa, all connected by a bewildering maze of hallways. Plenty of antiques adorn the lobby and hallways, in particular gigantic jade carvings. Plan for at least an hour, should you step into the Lisboa. Be careful not to wander into any VIP casinos, which are not open to the public. The guards can be very rude if you get too close. If you're not sure, if you see signage with the words "VIP" or "Junket", stay away. One area not to be missed is the shopping area on the bottom floor. There you will find very lovely prostitutes in titilating outfits walking around in circles. However, if you look like you don't speak Chinese, I doubt they will bother with you.

This was my room in the Old Lisboa from 2007. The bed was very comfortable, and the mini-bar was free!
