Be the first one to know on Macau Daily Blog! On our recent visit we had a brief look around, and were pleasantly surprised on how big this project really is! The Ponte 16 Casino will have a soft opening, together with Sofitel Macau at Ponte 16 around the 30th of January just in time for the Chinese Year goldmine. The riverside promenade and shopping arcade should be ready by Mid 2008. The casino will have a Gaming Area of 270,000 sq ft, 8 VIP Rooms with 3 Gaming Tables each, 130 Gaming Tables and 300 Slot Machines.
We think the location is great, it is only a pleasant 10 minute walk to the Grand Lisboa, where actually you walk past the Senoda Square, you could if you wish even drop into Starbucks for a nice cup of coffee. From the Sands Macau we managed to get to Ponte 16 in about a 30 minute walk. The Macau Strip finally has come alive!

To commemorate their visits, works produced by the western painters were largely about the life, customs and scenery of the places which they had visited.

[ November 10, 2007 to November 25, 2007. ] With the last festival having occurred in 2005, the organisers, The Civic and Municipal Affairs Bureau (IACM) decided that a more significant contribution from local organisations was needed. As a result, there was a time-out period called for last year, in order to allow the IACM to encourage local artists and organisations to step up to the challenge, creating a festival this year with a total budget of about MOP 1.4 million.
