In the Chinese tradition, there’s an old saying that goes like this; "When you enter a temple, you gotta pray to the God. When you enter a house, you gotta greet the master." So if I ain’t gonna spend some money at Casino Lisboa, I gotta at least be there to take a picture. This is a sign of respect. OK, that's my version of respect.
You see, the old Casino Lisboa is probably the first casino in Macau and it is owned by Mr Stanley Ho. It was built in the 1960s. Back then, Mr Stanley practically owns the whole of Macau, if you know what I mean. This casino is in my opinion very important as it is the beginning of what has becoming the Macau of today. It is afterall, the 'Vegas of the East'.
Today, there’s new Grand Casino Lisboa standing majestically right opposite the old one.
At night the neon display on the new Lisboa is simply breathtaking.
Inside the Casino Lisboa lobby, we are standing in front of hundred of thousand dollar horse sculpture which was acquired by Stanley and he will apparently be presenting it to the museum. Doing his community service, I guess.
