the hotel part of Grand Lisboa being built, the casino part is already open. Macau has become Las Vegas of the East. Back in the 90s, Macau government broke open the monopoly of casino gambling that had been held by one guy since the 60s. The government allowed foreign investors/casino developers to come in and now famous Las Vegas casinos are here, such as Sands, Venetian, etc.
