We are currently on the Ferry leaving Macau after five nights here, and I am definitely keen to head back again. The shorter trip from home and lower costs when compared to Vegas definitely work in its favour, as well as the different culture.

Where to start, where to start? Tonight was our dedicated drinking night. We started by going over to the Wynn and putting our names on the waiting list, who knew what was to ensue?

I put in decent hand volume online this morning and afternoon, although not quite as much as I would like as I’m not quite used to playing on [...]
