Venetian Macao : The MacauTripping Review 2008

The cab ride from Crown Macau in Taipa to the Venetian Macao took about 8 minutes, about twice as long as I thought it would take. At the time I kinda thought that the driver was padding their fare via grand tour of the Cotai mud patties Strip. After giving it a little... » continue

Welcome to Crown Macau, room 3603. As mentioned in the previous two episodes of our exploration of Crown Macau, I really had no idea what to expect from Crown Macau.

The Pool at Wynn Macau

The Pool at Wynn Macau is one of the first of its kind in Macau.
