Macao forever



An interesting article was published today in Le Monde. More money was collected in the Macao's casinos than in the Vegas ones.
$7.2 Billions for Macao versus $6.6 for Vegas. What the article does not mention is how many tourists visited Vegas last year compared to the ones than went to Macao.
Today, Vegas is trying to become a more upscale destination, also a family destination.
I wonder if that may not have affected the sales.
However, the money ends up in the same pockets. The new casino developers are the same than the Vegas one. In fact, they are building replicas of the Vegas Casinos like the Venetian.
