Activities to Partake in Macau

Macau has a hustling and bustling lifestyle. If you have come to visit Macau for a couple of days, then you will be kept up to your toes and busy all day long, because there is so much to do and so may activities to partake in Macau. Some of them are as given below:

Casinos

There are so many people who come from Mainland China and buses can be seen filled with those who want to try their luck in gambling in some of the finest casinos in the world. And it is not only locals and Chinese, but many foreigners and citizens from Hong Kong as well.

Some of the names of Macau’s most famous and finest casinos include Wynn, MGM Grand, Lisboa and Sands Casino. Lisboa’s halls still contain many original antiques on display from the private collection of gambling tycoon Stanley Ho. Most of these casinos are situated along the water front of the southern part of the Macau Peninsula or the area called NAPE south of Avenida de Amizade. If you’re looking for smaller casinos, however, coupled with some bars, restaurants, and a number of hotels, then try heading out north of the Lisboa.

The Cotai strip is now called “The Las Vegas Strip of the East”, so you should definitely check it out too. Venetian Macau, which is the biggest casino, in the world, is located there.

You need to be at least 21 years of age in order to participate in the activity of gambling. There are ATMs available at convenient locations, together with Forex facilities to change your money.

Greyhound racing

Greyhound racing is another form of gambling. In this you bet on dogs instead. If you want to see some good Greyhound racing, then you should go to Canidrome, which is situated on Avenida General CasteloBranco. Races are held on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Greyhound racing usually takes place at night, starting at quarter to 8, with up to 16 games in a single night.

You have to pay a $10 admission fee to get in, but this is redeemable when betting. Payouts can be made either in the Macanese local currency or in Hong Kong dollars, and the minimum bet is 10 patacas. Box seats are available for $80, but the cost can climb up to $120 for holidays and weekends. Places like Jai-Alai Palace, KamPek Casino and Hotel Lisboa provide off-track-betting for Canidrome.

Go Karting

This is also a fun activity that has currently reopened to public. This is great for family outings and your children will love this option.

Adventure Activities

Activities like Bunjy jumping are made available by A. J. Hackett. The place for this is the Macau tower, which has a height of 233m, and is mantained and operated by A. J. Hackett.

A great alternative to bunjy jumping is the sky jump, which is more protected and doesn’t involve a free fall. You can also go for a sky walk, bouldering and sport climbing activities that conducted at the base of the tower.
