I Wynn

I have traveled halfway around the world, and yet I find myself in the
same place I was when I started. I'm at the Wynn casino in Macau,
China right now. The Wynn in Las Vegas is one of my favorite places
there and this reminds me so much of it as I'm sure then want it to
since pretty much everything about the way the place looks is the
same. The people wear the same uniforms. The carpets and light
fixtures are the same. The buildling even has the same unique shape.

Aside from the physical there are many things that are different.
There are no women running around here that looked like they belong on
the show real housewives of the oc. In fact there are few Americans or
Europeans at all the entire casino looks like the baccarat section of
the Las Vegas one. There are more baccarat tables here than anything
else.

There isnt a party atmosphere like vegas. Everyone seems pretty
serious about the gambaling. There is almost no one drinking, and it
is Saturday night. There are even cocktail waitress. There are people
who bring coffee and food to the tables and help guests with stuff,
but they aren't the same as the low neckline, short skirt cocktail
waitress of vegas.

The wynn isn't the only thing that has it's similarities and
differences. There is also a Venetian here that is the largest casino
in the world. It is not nearly as good as the real one in vegas but
the Chinese love it. They can't get enough of the gondolla rides with
the people. Singing and the fake painted sky. However, attached to the
Venetian is the Four Seasons hotel and casino. It is a really small
but definitely the nicest I have ever seen. The Four Seasons wasn't so
bad either.

When I started writing this I was actually at the Wynn. Now I'm on my
one hour ferry ride back to Hong Kong. There was an old couple walking
onto the ferry in front of me that reminded of mawmaw and pawpaw going
to Bay St. Louis to to gamble.

I won 227 Hong Kong dollars playing a slot machine at the Wynn.
Considering it was on a 20 cent machine that is pretty good. It comes
to about $30, and is almost enough to cover my ferry tickets.
