Macau Casinos - Wynn Macau

Las Vegas casinos have moved into Macau in a big way, and casino magnate Steve Wynn’s Wynn Macau seems to be the most daring, occupying a strategic area right opposite The Lisboa. It is like an open challenge to Stanley Ho – “Bring It On !”

The design of the hotel and casino is a direct copy from the one in Las Vegas. The hotel itself is a long curved building with a champagne-coloured glass façade. The main entrance is fronted by a huge circular pool where a sound, light and fountain show is staged every evening.

Architecturally this casino is one of the least interesting - it is a hotchpotch of different styles. The hotel itself is a sleek modern design, but the entrance is Classical. The podium which occupies a whole city block is also pseudo-Classical or "American Colonial", and at the back is another curved tower which mirrors the hotel block but is much taller and symmetrical in plan.
