So this is where the Grand Prix teams are staying at…
Dang!
We’ve learned from Auntie Wikipedia that the Galaxy Hotel has these major major attractions:
the 550,000-square-metre property will offer around 2,200 hotel rooms comprising the 1,500-room Galaxy Macau hotel tower complete with casino and entertainment areas, as well as two hotel partners, the Japanese-owned 410-room Hotel Okura and the Singapore-operated Banyan Tree Hotel that will have 254 suites.
Wave pool and artificial beach
Above the gaming area there will be a 52,000-square-metre resort, with “lush” gardens, six swimming pools, including a wave pool and an artificial beach made of 350-tonne white sand.
Giant Diamond
In Galaxy’s lobby, a fountain turns into a giant roulette wheel before a giant diamond rises out of the top. It’s a metaphor for wishing casino goers eternal luck and prosperity, said designer Jeremy Railton who works for Entertainment Design Corp.
Banyan Tree Macau
Banyan Tree Macau is the Group’s first property in the former Portuguese enclave. It will be the first in Macau to feature private indoor relaxation pools in all its 246 opulent suites, overlooking the city and offering a Sanctuary for the Senses for guests.
This 5 star hotel cost US$1.9B to make and officially opened in May of this year. Auntie Wikipedia adds that it’s “550,000-square-metre & has 2,200 hotel rooms comprising the 1,500-room Galaxy Macau hotel tower complete with casino and entertainment areas, as well as two hotel partners, the Japanese-owned 410-room Hotel Okura and the Singapore-operated Banyan Tree Hotel that will have 254 suites.”
A Las Vegas in Macau!
