So, we went back to Sands which is the establishment that we donated the most money to, and after eating at their Japanese restaurant, we still had ample time to kill. We sat in booths by the bar, where there was no one sitting, except one Chinese man. We sat and watched their big screen TV which was playing fashion shows,
and within 10 MINUTES, two security guards approached us and told us we had to buy a drink or leave!!!
I looked over and the other Chinese guy sitting there was sleeping on the sofa with no drink in front of him. So we bought a Coke and left after a half hour with the security guards’ eyes on us at all times, while the other Chinese man was STILL sitting there.
TOTAL DISCRIMINATION!
I’m using this forum to vent because I feel that we were treated unfairly, especially since we had spent so much money there that night and only sat there for a total of 45 minutes. We were dressed nicely and completely look unthreatening.
So if you are going to Macau:
1. Make sure you buy your return ferry ticket in advance.
2. To avoid discrimination, avoid the SANDS casino.
I’m sure there are people that will have good stories to tell you about this, but I for one, will
NEVER go back to the Sands Casino. It is a terrible, terrible feeling to be discriminated against and it is a hopeless and miserable feeling to deal with.
