Just came back from Hong Kong about 2 weeks ago.
Spent four nights in Macau, and actually quite enjoyed the place, it has a very european feel which seems odd in an asian country, which is due to it's portugese history. Most Roads/ paths are cobble stone and there are many piazza's or squares and lots of brilliant european architecture, in short, there is much sightseeing to be had if you get bord with the gambling.

If you looking for a bit of gambling time, then appart from Vegas this is your place. Macau has heaps of casino's with even more bieng built. They are nearly finished with the new Wynn's Casino, half way through the MGM Grand and will be finished with the Venitian in 2008.
Lots of bars and restuarants around the place too, with some really good Macanese food to be had. Also if you do happen to get to Macau, go to Colloane Island and have some lunch at Fernando's which is a bit of an institution in Macau / Hong kong.

I stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, wich was really nice, it has a small casino in the hotel complex, but it is right next door to the bigger, more elaborate vegas Sands Casino Complex which has if my memory serves me right 6 gaming floor, with a wide range of games, and entertainment.

Macau also has good shopping, cheaper than hong kong, but during the day it seems a little laid back, compared to Hong Kong, but at night the place lights up and the casinos rule. Night life in Macau revolves around the casinos or in the vecinity of the casino's or around the new fishermans wharf section. These complexes usually cater for everything..... food, nightclubs, mens entertainment etc. As said earlier, there are quite a few good bar's and a lot of restuarants so you will never go hungry or thirsty.
