Figures due this week are expected to show that Macau is bigger than Las Vegas. The former Portuguese enclave in China raked in US$10.4 billion in gaming winnings in 2007, virtually matching the 2006 take for Clark County, the Nevada jurisdiction that includes Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
If Macau misses in the 2007 data, it’s only a matter of time before it leaves Las Vegas twinkling in its rearview mirror. Macau already far outearns the famous Las Vegas Strip, even though the Strip has a 50% advantage in the number of both visitors and casinos. Minimum bets in the Chinese territory usually set at HK$100 (US$12.85), compared with a less than US$1 in some Vegas locations, allow Macau to take in far more per customer and per table than Las Vegas.

Here is an interesting observation by David McKee from LasVegasAdvisor.com saying that Dr Stanley Ho’s days are numbered. Well we are not so sure if we can agree with him on that one!
Toward the bottom of an otherwise run-of-the-mill report on Las Vegas Sands‘ year-end numbers, Sands supremo Sheldon Adelson lets fly with a bombshell: Not only will there be no new casino concessions in 2009, when Macao Chief Executive Edmund Ho leaves office, there will be fewer. (Bad news for Harrah’s, this. They’re really banking on a new round of concessions and, perhaps, subconcessions too.)

We are pleased to announce that Mr Francis Lui, Deputy Chairman of Galaxy Entertainment Group (GEG), is confirmed to give the keynote address at AiG this year. Mr Lui has a unique vision for GEG and attributes the company’s success to the fact that it is owned and operated by Chinese and has a thorough background in hotel management and real estate development. The year-old StarWorld Hotel & Casino in Macau is testament to that.
But what about the group’s online ambitions? How does he see the future for land-based casinos getting into the online space? And what of the outlook for Asia?
