MacauTripping photo contributor Ace Macau tipped us off to a blog post that contains a slew of photos of City of Dreams hotel offerings.

It kinda looks like the photos were taken during a hard hat tour of the property before it opened. Interesting stuff.

Here's the link




First Photos of City of Dreams

» posted by Chuckmonster on 1 Jun 2009

MacauTripping reader Ace Macau just got back from a quick jaunt through the just opened and incredibly empty City Of Dreams and brought back a phenomenal batch of photos.

You'll never get to see this place this empty ever again, which is great for folks wishing to study the interior design guts and those who've been waiting for their MPEL investment to finally sprout some legs.









City of Dreams Opens Its Eyes

At long last, City of Dreams is opening. We're fortunate to have AceMacau, one of our contributing photographers - on the ground in Macau to scope out tons of photos and bring back the details.

Ace also sent us a link to this fascinating video of the Dragon's Treasure show in The Bubble at City of Dreams.









Stock Market Thinks MGM Might Sell To Star Cruises

» posted by Chuckmonster on 26 May 2009

Shares in cruise operator Star Cruises jumped overnight on the belief (unfounded?) that they (or their sister company Genting International) might purchase MGM Mirage's half of the MGM Grand Paradise joint venture with Pansy Ho.

Last week, New Jersey casino regulators suggested that MGM Mirage "disengage itself from any business association" with Pansy Ho. MGM Mirage is a 50/50 partner in Atlantic City's Borgata with Boyd Gaming.

With the opening of City of Dreams 11 days away, I figured that someone might have posted a couple of insightful photos to the Flickr.

We were right.









For Sale : MGM Grand Macau?

» posted by Chuckmonster on 19 May 2009

New Jersey Casino Control Commission has told MGM Mirage to "disengage itself from any business association" with Pansy Ho... or else.

But what does this mean, at least as relates to Macau?
