HK was said to be a shoppers' paradise. Is it anymore ? At least we HK people would disagree. To us, Tokyo and Bangkok are more like the shoppers' paradises. While HK is losing its identity in the mind of tourists, Macau is clearly positioned as the Las Vegas of the east. I think it's a smart thing to do. Thanks to its government policy and the foregin investments, this positioning is coming true. But can they just use the winning formula of Vegas in Macau ? It may take some adaptations. In addition to the casinos, shows and performances are big and hot in Vegas, adding glamour and excitement to the place. Will it work the same for Macau ? Tourists of Vegas are more international but most of the tourists of Macau are from Mainland China. Culture and taste are different. I'm sure this Burn The Floor show must be good but I doubt whether people from the Mainland would pay 600 dollars to see the show. Probably they would rather use the money to place bets on the "Big/Small" table.
