Loss vegas

The casinos in Macao (China) are generating more revenue than that of Las Vegas casinos...making Las Vegas a real LOSS VEGAS! Who won it then? Well the winner is the Gambling king Stanley Ho made asia to look for this sort of games too, besides Olympics!!...doesnt it nails out the fact that the western countries are lossing their big image with the asian countries?

I came to know about Macao, only after coming to malaysia, that too with the cost effective holiday packages to Macao by Air asia and some of my collegues(Chinese) have visited...Macao has joined with China from 1999, which was a porteguese colony.

More about Macao

Chit chat in office

XXX:Stanley Ho (who is 84yrs old) has two wives who stay together in the same house!
Me:How will he choose them for the night??!!
XXX: Gambling machines..Ofcourse la!!!
hahahahah
Me:What if he gets both!
AAAAHhhhhhhhhhh...............

Well, talking about Casino, I have been to casino right from the age of 12, I saw "Absent minded professor" and more movies there...Casino was only known
to me as cinema theatre in mount road, chennai (Near Pilot threatre(!!!))

The first,real casino I stepped in was in Oct'07 here in Kuala Lumpur called "Genting Highland" where I have seen the real gambling machines which I have seen in Pan Parg ad..Dev Anand movie..But here my knowledge has grown widely when my eyes struck to the old(above 50s) chinese ladies with a cigar in the corner of their mouth shouting for a win loudly! Before this like Swamy in RK.Narayanan's novel I thought that the Casino will only have well dressed men with young beautiful girls around him like that of Dev Anand movie but today I know what a Casino is!

Everyday I Learn I grow !!!

ohhh, its sad to know that they leveled with Vegas but for sure they will never get above with Vegas because they can't replace Vegas as it was the most first gambling capital of the world. History in there is a treasure.
