anyone been to casino lisboa or sands macau to try their luck? with some winnings more places 2 xplore

Better to stick to Sands instead.
By the way, there is free mini bus from Sands to the border point of Zhu Hai and vice versa. No standing allowed and each time about 20 pax maximum.
I made a small amount on Good Friday, then head over to Zhu Hai and Shen Zhen for 2 days and then went to try the Casino Lisboa on Sunday and lost big time there. Then went to Sands and managed to recover back 60% losses at Lisboa. Will skip Lisboa on my next trip, most likely in August.

By the way, the mm at Zhu Hai has increased in numbers due to the better weather of 18 deg C..

Cheers

will be flying to macau for holiday and stay for 2 nights.
if I plan to have fun in zhuhai and only visit macau casino for short while, is it better & cheaper to stay ZhuHai?

Can experience bros help to advise:
1. How long it takes to travel from macau airport to zhuhai custom? plan to head straight to zhuhai upon arriving and stay for 1st night.
2. read that rate offer at zhuhai custom's agency is ok.. so if I should pick a hotel is there transport? recommended hotel?
3. for sextifaction ... am I right that sauna near custom are all ok? any precaution to take?
4. plan to stay first night at zhuhai and 2nd night at macau. Can I get hotel through any agency at macau/zhuhai custom when I re-enter macau on second day?
5. Any good food/seafood in zhuhai & macau?

Thanks!

Like other bros advise:
1) You can get bus ride straight from MFM airport to Gong Bei Customs ( Zhuhai )
2) Hotel is not necessary cheaper in ZH, but you get more bang for your money than in Macao, i.e. 4 star for < than Macao. You can see pic of hotel while at Agency doing hotel booking. Always book at Agency instead of front desk of hotel.
3) Sauna Action - almost all in Gong Bei area is good.
4) In macao, normally I catch a cab from border to Holiday Inn Hotel ( closeby to it) many tour agency to book hotel rooms (HKD 400-500)
5) Seafood - any taxi driver can bring u to Hai Xian Jie( Sea Food Lane) in Wanchai.

Happy Cheong

One other popular new Casino is the Greek Methology at the New Century Hotel. There are also free shuttle buses from either the Ferry Terminal or Zhu Hai border every 5-10 mins. If you have VIP card, u can even travel free back to some areas in Guangdong province (like Zhongsan, Jiangmen and Guangzhou).

I also tried the Golden Dragon Casino (Jin Long) and made some money playing the jackpot abt a mth ago But then, I went on to lose some of it at Lisboa

Overall, Sands is the most modern and biggest of all.

It should abt half an hr by bus and abt 15-20 mins by taxi from MFM to the Zhuhai border. Hotelwise, refer to another post in the Guangdong thread for some special rates. I usually stayed in Gongbei area and paid less than RMB 250 for a good 3-star room. I have never tried saunas at Gongbei....but FLs are everywhere roaming the Lian Hua road area. There are also some small clubs and a large disco in that area. Note that this area is Taiwanese territory. Foodwise, they are aplenty. Fernando at Macau is a popular rest serving Portuguese food. As for Zhuhai, I have tried the "Ji Bao" near Lian Hua road and its pretty good.

I dun think there's a direct flight to ZH. The best is to fly Tiger Air to MFM and then just cross the border.

I find the faster way from HK to ZH is by ferry, about 70 mins to reach Jiuzhou harbour n from Jiuzhou about 20 mins by cab to Gongbei...but also more costly...

The fastest way to ZH I find is still via Macau, about 20 mins from the airport to Gongbei custom n less tiring too.

silkair is no longer flying direct to macau now. only tiger air does.

hk to zh...still by ferry loh...either direct to jiuzhougang or via macau. time taken should be pretty much the same.

[banana]

so if i wanna go HK and ZH the best choice is to fly and stay in macau?

tiger air! sian!!! will fly there but not thru budget airlines. really sucks!
