Attractions and Family Fun…
Dwarfing many of the historic sites are the shapes and figures of a new Macao with its soaring 338-metre Macau Tower, home to the highest Bungy Jump in the world and AJ Hackett recreation facilities.
Scattered throughout Macao are a growing number of sophisticated shopping centres, gigantic international hotels, variety of restaurants from local to fine dining options and integrated entertainment venues with spectacular shows such as “The House of the Dancing Water” and the “The House of Magic”.
At night many integrated resorts and hotels light up the night sky with neon lights and array of entertainment. Just outside the Wynn Hotel there is water, fire and sound shows called “Performance Lake”, whilst just inside you have many different entertainment choices to choose from. Or visit the MGM Macao for the popular “Light and Sounds Show” or be entertained with live band performances and DJ’s at the property’s leading Night Club “Lions Bar”.
Whilst on the Cotai Strip, you will find giant precincts like the City of Dreams, Sands Cotai Central, Galaxy Mega Resort, Studio City and The Parisian Macao which include leading attractions such as the world’s largest wave pool and rapid ride, Universals Batman Dark Flight, the world’s highest Ferris Wheel the Golden Reel or have breakfast with Shrek and the gang at the largest DreamWorks production outside the US.
