I stayed at the Pallazo in Las Vegas once, which is a sister property to the Venetian, and the rooms look identical to those in Macau. They are very nice indeed.

So I guess Macau is more like Monte Carlo (but in a larger scale), with table games for serious players, rather than the casual gambler coming from the street?

I'm no longer a big fan of Vegas, after having gone there at least 16 times, it's become too much of a party town with just people looking to party/get drunk on free booze...not the Vegas I remember from the 80's/90's when people actually went there to gamble and maybe catch a cheap buffet or 99c steak & egg breakfast . Was hoping Macau would be more authentic, but if I need a $1000 nightly bank roll just to approach a table, it's not for me!

Is the weather warm in mid April to at least enjoy the pools?
