About 40 miles from Hong Kong, the former Portuguese colony of Macau is now part of China and soon it may be the world's most popular gambling destination. An American leader in the gambling business, the MGM Mirage, announced that it has broken ground for a gaming resort estimated to cost upwards of a billion dollars.
From KRNV Reno:
The 28-floor, 600-room MGM Mirage Macau resort is going to be jointly owned and operated by the Las Vegas-based company and Chinese businesswoman Pansy Ho Chiu-king. She's the daughter of Hong Kong tycoon Stanley Ho, who had held a four-decade gambling monopoly in Macau. It's expected to open in the second half of 2007.I probably won't have an opportunity to visit the place, but I would surely like to. The chance of meeting someone named Pansy Ho has a certain esoteric appeal.
