The Mandarin Oriental Casino is one of the more upscale casinos in Macau. An older property, it offers the charms that go with a more well-established venue, while having undergone almost constant upgrading, so that it is never out-of-date. The staff is highly skilled and extremely attentive, providing a opulent resort experience.
The casino is plush and relatively quiet, creating a sophisticated ambience. Familiar games such as Baccarat, Blackjack, Three Card Baccarat are available, along with Video Slots and Video Poker. The Mandarin Oriental also offers a dice game of ancient Chinese origin called Sic Bo. Babysitting and a day care center keep the children happy and entertained while the adults play.
The cozy hotel rooms at the Mandarin Oriental are excellent, with beautiful views of the city; some have balconies. The rooms are delicated in a Portuguese style that harkens back to Macau's beginnings. Luxury spa accessories are available in every room. Because rooms are generally less expensive in Macau than in the US or Europe, the hotel can provide five-star accommodations and services at an excellent value.
The Mandarin Oriental Spa has five restaurants. Tung Yee Heen provides a dim sum menu with many Cantonese delicacies. Offering Portuguese fare, Cafe Bela Vista is decorated in the style of a traditional family home. Local tapa-style cuisine is available in Vasco, along with high tea. NAAM serves Thai cuisine in a tranquil garden setting, and, overlooking the pool is The Veranda, for alfresco dining on international cuisine.
If you enjoy unwinding with spa treatments, you'll love the Mandarin Oriental. They offer a wide variety of massages, facials, body scrubs and much more. There is a swimming pool, and a fitness center that offers yoga classes, tennis courts, and even indoor rock climbing.
Just 10 minutes from the Maritime Ferry Terminal, with 24 hour shuttle service, the Mandarin Oriental is a great place to start a tour of the region. From here, you can visit other places in Macau, go to Hong Kong for the day or see mainland China. (Note: You need only a passport to visit Macau and Hong Kong, but you will need a visa to travel to mainland China.)
The Mandarin Oriental Resort is located at 956-1110 Avenida da Amizade. The closest airport is the Macau International Airport.
