澳門賭場2
眼睇住周圍嘅人幾萬幾萬咁換籌碼,眨下眼,就有人歡喜有人愁;或者對嗰啲超級爛賭——講好聽啲就係,專業賭徒——嚟講,喺呢度,天堂到地獄就真係只有一步之遙。
你有可能真係可以做到一夜暴富,但係畢竟咁樣嘅幾率仲係極低嘅。對於一般人嚟講,特別是對賭博冇乜興趣嘅人,除咗老虎機每次可以只投注一、三、五蚊葡幣之外,其他嘅項目最低都要投注三百蚊起。
我企喺隔離望咗好耐,睇起嚟規則繁多,但係大家都玩得好上手,亦不出意外,幾分鐘內賭臺上嘅遊客就將手裏面嘅籌碼輸得一乾二淨。
我個人認為,除咗賭場本身,夜晚嘅“威尼斯人”先至係最靚嘅,豪華奢麗到好似電影一樣。我當時從西翼門行出嚟,用咗差唔多半個鐘頭嘅時間,先至行到酒店嘅正門。
但你要知道,呢個都只不過係僅僅圍繞酒店行咗半圈而已,可想而知,呢個酒店大到幾離譜。
不過威尼斯人嘅奢華並唔係僅僅呢個方面,佢哋房間嘅復古裝飾,係仿照意大利風格而設計嘅,令人感到獨特嘅異國風情。
如果話賭場係全澳門各家娛樂場所都必不可少嘅部份,咁好似威尼斯人嘅嗰種房間應該算係獨一無二喇。一句話,就係你可以喺澳門享受到歐洲嘅風光。
喺呢度,無論購物、食飯、搭船遊覽或者沉醉於賭場,都絕非一日就可以夠用嘅。喺呢度,你好容易忘卻時間、忘卻自己,最弊就係,忘卻嚟嗰時嘅路。

Macau Casino 2
It's common to see people at the casino make or lose thousands of dollars in the blink of an eye. Some people will be happy and other people will be unhappy. And for addicts or professional gamblers, heaven and hell are both within grasp in this place.
At the Macau Casino, it's entirely possible, if highly unlikely, that you'll become a millionaire overnight. For most ordinary people who aren't particularly interested in gambling, the popular thing is to place one, three, or five Macau dollar bets at the slot machines. Other games usually start with bets of three hundred dollars.
I stood next to the tables for a while learning the rules. After just a few hands, the visitors who played had already lost all of their money and I felt lucky that I was not one of them.
Beyond the casino, the Venetian Hotel is grand, spectacular, and beautiful in the evenings, just as it is in the movies. When I came out of the West Wing, it took me almost half an hour to walk to the main entrance. And you must understand that this distance marks just half the size of the whole circular hotel. No wonder it was so huge.
That said, the reason the Venetian is such a grand hotel is not because of its size but because all of its hotel rooms are decorated with beautiful antiques in the Italian style. The hotel is very exotic and unique. And if you think entertainment businesses in Macau all must have casinos, then these different style hotel rooms are essential for the Venetian Hotel, and give all of its visitors the chance to experience true European culture.
And if you want to check out everything they have to offer, including shopping, food, ferry rides, and casinos, then you'd better save several days for this visit because you can easily forget about time and forget about yourself.
