Do note that you must have a bus ticket in order to take the shuttle bus from Grand Lisboa back to the Ferry Terminal. The bus ticket can be obtain only if you played at their casino.Ticket is not require for boarding at the Ferry Terminal. Try taking other shuttle bus from nearby casino such as Wynn or MGM.

Can't wait to see all the crazy buildings!" and there were none... : ( Buy egg rolls and almond cakes!!!
