    Yes, and it doesn't take long to see those sites. Not a very strong repeat visit incentive for non-gambling tourist if you asked me.

    I heartily agree...if you're not into casinos, there's not much else, and most of the place is crowded out with mainland tourists.

    Couldn't agree more. I go to Vegas quite often and after working in the casino industry for 15 years (long time ago), gambling doesn't really interest me but there is a lot to do in Vegas and surrounding areas and a good place to go with a bunch of friends. Macau has one half decent show and that's it apart from jumping off the tower and looking at a billion Chinese tourists taking photos of some ruined church there is naff all to do there.
    Won't be going there again.
