Is Macau is a good place to stay?

Q. My parents were from Macau, and I lived in Macau for several years. But it's been a very long time since I visited there, and with all the casino developments and the increase in the number of mainland visitors, I'm sure it's a very different place now.

Is it overall safe, a good place to stay? I'm planning to go there this winter break to visit family.

A. If glitzy casino floorshows and a night of gambling are your thing, Macau's got it covered. The casino scene has become increasingly competitive with the arrival of the Venetian Macau, which comes complete with canals and gondolas and boasts of being "large enough to hold ninety Boeing 747 jumbo jets". The Venetian also sponsors sporting events, from top-rated tennis to NBA exhibition games, as well as Las Vegas-style spectacles. Other top casinos, including the floating Macau Palace Casino, Hotel Lisboa, Sands Macau, Galaxy Waldo Casino and Macau Palace Casino are all upping the ante, some with expansions in the works or underway and all with competitive event programming and special deals to bring in the crowds. Downtown's Rua de S. Domingos is a bar street just north of the main square, Largo do Senado, packed with bars and cafes. Avenida Dr. Sun Yat-sen is another bar street worth checking out; facing the Outer Harbor (Porto Exterior) it offers a row of bars offering live music and outdoor seating. Local discos and karaoke clubs are open till all hours and can be found all over town. If you're looking for a quieter scene, try head to Taipa and Coloane.

Which hotel location to choose in Hong Kong? Going 1st time anyplace outta India in a decade?
Q. I am confused with the bunch of hotels & attractive offers. Confused about geography. I am planning on a 3 day stay in Hong Kong and 2 days in Macau. Just confused which type of hotels to book?? Like the Marriot Sky is near airport and so cheap but Marriot rennesaince in far from airport but near "city centre" (how does it help?) and price is 3 times?

A. You can see a list of Hong Kong hotels below.
