Exclusive Tips for Sands Macao - 金沙娛樂場 :
The Xanadu club has girlie shows and they're free.
I like the space-aged type decor, as well as the open-air feel of the place. However it can be a little cumbersome do to the seemingly endless rows of tables. It can look more like those pictures of the opening day of the WSOP then a casino floor.
Dealers can be spotty. They have ranged from a joy to surly. However when nice they are the best I have had the pleasure to loose to in Macau.
Forget drink service, or any other comp besides bottled water.
Unlike the rest of the new places, you can find some ladies of the evening hanging at the bar at the north-ish end. If you into that sort of thing.
