Grand Lisboa

Stanley Ho may have lost his gaming monopoly, but he's back with a vengeance with this 50-story monolith, dominating the Macau landscape with what is said to resemble a lotus flower but to me looks like a marooned starship. The cavernous lobby, too, is meant to put mere mortals in their place, with lots of marble, crystal, and brass, as well as priceless Chinese antiques from Ho's private collection. Facilities run the gamut from Asia's longest buffet spread to a strip show featuring Japanese performers. Guests wishing to recover from the rigors of the casino can do so in comfortable and well-planned rooms and luxurious bathrooms, complete with steam shower rooms (some even have saunas), whirlpool tubs, and two TVs. This flashy hotel was clearly built to impress a high-rolling Chinese market, but those looking for a quaint Macau stay will want to stay elsewhere.
