Second New Casino Opens in Macau
|
HONG KONG
Galaxy Resort & Casino joined Macau's newly liberalized casino scene on Sunday, becoming the second casino to open shop in the Chinese enclave after the end of a four-decade gambling monopoly.
The $66 million Galaxy Waldo kicked off business with a traditional Chinese lion dance ceremony. It offers 38 gambling tables, 100 slot machines and 161 hotel rooms.
Galaxy's Hong Kong-based boss, Lui Che-woo, follows on the heels of his co-license holder, Las Vegas gaming mogul Sheldon Adelson, who opened the glitzy Sands Macau in May.
