MGM Grand, Macau - Oldham Hall casino reunion!

After a yummy dinner at A Lorcha, we moved to MGM Grand. The first of many casinos we would 'visit' on this trip!

Wikipedia ... The MGM Grand Macau is a 35-storey, 600-room casino resort with approximate investment amount USD $1.25 billion in Macau which officially opened its doors on December 18th, 2007 at 10:50 p.m. local time, to thousands of guests eager to experience the burgeoning gaming destination's latest grand resort.
Under a subconcession approved by the Macau government, the project is owned and operated through a 50/50 partnership between MGM Mirage and Pansy Ho Chiu-king, the daughter of Stanley Ho. The subconcession is one of several examples of new construction following the end of the government-granted monopoly held for decades by Stanley Ho.
Phase One of casino floor accounts for 20,620 square metre spreading over two levels and wrapping around the Grande Praca; with 385 table games and 888 slot machines.
The property include a convention space of 1,452 square metre including The Grand Ballroom of 807 square metre for business meetings, social events and wedding; thirteen restaurants, and partner with Six Senses Spa to have a space of 2,720 square metre that includes 12 treatment areas.



Salvador Dali's 'Dalinian Dancer' at the entrance. Wow!


MGM Grand is one of the nicest casinos I reckon in Macau! The gaming area is most definitely my favourite, classy yet pleasant and not obnoxious!


Not a bad 'first' foray into a Casino (not withstanding one hand of Tai-Sai / Big-small at Genting a while ago!) I reckon ... hmmm :-)
