Here it comes the next big thing in Macau - City of Dreams, an integrated urban entertainment resort, set to open on June 1 and expected to become the city's next "must experience" attraction. Located in the Cotal Strip, famed for five-star hotels, clubs, and casinos, the City of Dreams will combine electrifying entertainment, stylish nightclubs, an array of de luxe accommodations, world-class dining, together with top-rate shopping, and a casino, ushering in a new era of gaming and entertainment.
The casino will be at the heart of the "City", and its 420,000 quare feet of 520 gaming tables and 1,350 gaming machines will offer a dynamic gaming experience to guests.
The "City", according to Lawrence Ho of Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd., is a next-generation resort like no other in the world. It represents a major step forward in Macau's transformation as the region's premier leisure, entertainment, and gaming destination.
Just as diverse are the world-class restaurants and a host of noodle bars, cafés, and lounges, with cuisines to suit every taste, occasion, and budget; but nothing in Macau will surpass the "City's" 175,000 square feet of retail space spread over two levels, promising to be the gateway to everyone's shopping fantasies.
The "City's" development will come in phases, with the main area scheduled for completion on the third quarter of 2009, and a spectacular theater production to open soon thereafter in its purpose-built "Theatre of Dreams." The final phase will have an 800-room apartment hotel.
Ho declares that the tourism goals of Macau will have been achieved once "City of Dreams" opens.
