Macau - the Casinos

But most people go to Macau for ONE reason only. Nope, its not to see the UNESCO sites unfortunately. It is gambling. I was told this casino above is the very first casino in Macau founded by Stanley Ho 40 yrs ago.


I got a chance to go inside...to eat ;) No, not at this glittering restaurant. Another one a few stories above.


But there IS a casino that I really wanted to visit in Macau - The Venetian. It is the LARGEST casino in the world. The building itself is also the 3rd largest in the world. I have estimated that u will need at least 2 days just to explore "all" corners.


The inside is simply stunning. The huge spaces & the intricate deco will blow anyone away.


No, I am not here to marvel at this man-made wonder (well, sorta). As a friend blurted out: "This is heaven!", I quickly corrected: "No, this is hell. This is SIN city." This humongous structure exists solely to gratify & exploit the sin nature of mankind. Perhaps this building could even be deemed as one of King Nebuchadnezzar's grandest achievement in the ancient Babylon! Why not?


Even the symbol of the Venetian is literally straight out of Biblical texts in the description of the Babylonian Empire:

And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings... (Daniel 7:3-4)



The concept of a gambling den has evolved much over the past decades. Combining a mix of services & attractions to "soften" the negative impression most of us would have.


But I WAS interested in this one attraction - Venice. Yes, a replica of the city of Venice INSIDE the Venetian.


It is simply quite stunning. For those who have been to any one of the major theme parks in the world, the wow-effect is probably less. The technology involved is nothing new, but rather it is the excellence in the execution of the vision, the exquisite details, & the intelligent layout. Spare no expense indeed with the USD1.8 billion.

If only there are pigeons in this replica of Piazza San Marco... ;P


What is Venice without the canals & the gondolas? I think they have like a mile of canals inside the building separated into different sections. And yes, the gondolier does sing in Italian too.


Throughout the day, and throughout the casino, there are live entertainments round the clock. All are superb performances.


Obviously this is THE way forward for "Family Entertainment" or "Family Holiday". Genting has been trying for years to transform itself from "pure gambling" to premier "wholesome family vacation spot". So are the many casinos throughout the world. And so are the new ones coming up, trying to outdo each other. Like the ones coming up in Singapore.


U can't get a "cooler" food court than this.

Therefore, here lies the deception & the danger. The world is trying to integrate the worst values and packages them into something fun, entertaining & wholesome. They are trying to paint a positive picture of an evil habit.

Almost like the way how homosexuality is now deemed "natural" in most countries...the result of decades of disinformation by interest groups & mass medias.


I was told that every casinos is designed with Feng Sui principles that the building acts like a cage or trap or a vortex that will only sucks fortune in but never out. Just to clarify, as a child of God, I am not subject under the authority of Feng Sui. But for those who are living under the power of the kingdom of darkness, obviously they are subject to its "rules & regulations".


For instance, this new Lisboa design is as such: the round base is the head of a man; the funny looking skyscraper is the sword that stuck itself halfway into the head. So for those gamblers gambling inside - ur minds are severely wounded, dude! So bad until u will lose all ur money down to the last penny.

Folks, gambling is BAD for u. Period. At the end of the day, u would only find sorrow, brokenness, despair, regrets at the end of the road.

Truth is, even I was "seduced" by all these glitter & glamor. No wonder the underground churches in China are NOT asking for prayers for relief from persecution. But rather, that their children would not be sucked into a glamorous & lustful world out there in the cities.
