Macao is famous for its casinos which offer a wide range of games such as baccarat, blackjack, roulette, boule, fan tan, dai siu, etc. as well as slot machines. The legal age for gambling is 21 for local players and 18 for foreigners.
Dress Code: Fairly casual, though flipflops or shorts are not always allowed. No cameras or large bags can be taken to the casinos either.

Macua is known as the Las Vegas of Asia and for good reason. Approximately 20-30 Casinos are in the reclaimed NAPE neighborhood and on adjoining Taipa Island area known at the Cotai Strip. A number of the big Vegas names, Wynn, MGM, Sands are here only with local casinos.

This tip offers you brand new information about the locations of April 2007 Macau casinos (including Wynn's). You are authorized to copy (and paste) it for your records.
Dress Code: When entering Macau casinos you are first scanned, so you be carefull not bring any guns, granades, missiles, etc. (eh, eh, eh!).
Dressing casual will be just fine.

Wynn Casino's dancing fountain is a spectacular show of colors,lights and music all in one. The shows are every 15 mins but the longest show is at 12 midnight. A must see attraction when you're in Macau.

You could walk from San Ma Lo to Government Headquarters, it will takes about 20 min.
The Nam Van Lake Fountain is just opposite the Macao SAR Government Headquarters. You could take nice shot of city view, fountain as well as Macau Tower.
There are some open-air cafe before reaching Government Headquarters, with some chinese musical performance (like er-hu etc).
Dress Code: casual

If you plan to stay longer than a day trip in Macau, a must-see attraction is the four storey Casino Lisboa in downtown.
Casinos in Macau open 24 hours.
Dress Code: Appropriated for a casino... but I don't doubt you will meet everything.

This casino is what most Chinese think of when they think of Macao. It is featured and in movies and TV shows. It look impressive on the outside.
On the inside it is smoky and cramped. It doesn't have many western games and they are played differently. It has a lot of shops, but not too many restaraunts. I couldn't see where shows would have been or where drinks were served.
Dress Code: Not hats, no cameras

This casino is the most modern and for the moment the biggest in town. They have occasional stage shows (singing and or dancing). They have all of the western games (slots, blackjack, craps) and many Asian ones (Pai Gao, and whatever else). They have a buffet and other restaraunts. Many of the staff speak English.
There are no free drinks while playing and I didn't find a sports book. The place is just big and fun to explore.
Apparently more casinos like this are on the way to Macao. Soon it will really be the Vegas of Asia. Right now the town is tropical Reno.
Dress Code: No hats, no cameras.
I don't think short sleeves or no collar were a problem.

The tallest water jet reaches 80 meters in height.
