(Newswire.net — October 25, 2018) — When it comes to finding a casino paradise on Earth, there are really only two options; Las Vegas or Macau. The two cities are the global meccas of gambling, with the biggest casinos, the craziest parties and the highest stakes of anywhere on the planet. Talk has been swirling in recent months that the bright star of Las Vegas is beginning to fade, as ascendant Macau begins to eclipse the original City of Sin. One thing’s for sure; both cities remain world-class destinations for culture, nightlife and, of course, casino games, where everything is possible. Let us look at the two together, so you can decide which place is right for you.

Las Vegas is where it all began, where a former mining town sprung out of the desert to become the new Babylon – a neon-lit playground where the rich and famous flocked to play big. That is still the case now, and Las Vegas remains one of the world’s favorite vacation destinations. If you’re trying to choose between here and Macau, Las Vegas might be for you if you’re more interested in American culture, as this place is as American as it gets. Think 3-storey McDonald’s, vintage luxury convertibles cruising down the strip, and of course, a rich and still-visible history of 1950s Americana.
If you prefer the slots to the tables, Las Vegas might be the place for you, with over 45,000 slot machines, considerably more than Macau. To get you in the mood for your gaming trip to Vegas, your best bet is to work on your A-game by playing new online slots games such as Age of the Gods and Buffalo Blitz so you know what to expect. In many ways, Las Vegas is the old world, classical gambling experience.

Macau is the without a doubt the new face of gambling. The city recently surpassed Las Vegas in terms of gaming revenue, and the towering new casino buildings look like something straight out of Blade Runner rather than the kitschy creations of Las Vegas. Macau is a unique melting pot of cultures and is certainly the place to go if you’re an adventurous traveler looking to soak up the fascinating blend of Chinese and Portuguese culture on offer. One thing you should know is that Macau is many times more crowded and hectic than Las Vegas, so you’ll have to have a high tolerance for crowds to have a good time here.
The luxury on offer is unparalleled if you’re looking to splurge, as casinos trying their best to cater to the ever-growing numbers of billionaires that flock here to play the highest stakes imaginable. While luxury is everywhere, Macau is also a great option for the more budget-conscious traveler, as the cost of food and accommodation can be had at a fraction of the price you’d find on the Las Vegas Strip.
A trip to either city would constitute the trip of a lifetime but, depending on what kind of person, traveler, and gambler that you are, you might want to opt for one over the other.
