My World#54 Grand Lisboa, Macau
Grand Lisboa is a casino hotel and restaurant that houses 430 hotel rooms and suites. It is a 58-story skyscraper in Macau and offers 268 mass gaming tables and 786 slot machines.
What is more interesting in this place for me is not so much the casino but just two things: the kaleidoscope of lights during the night that attracts a lot of tourists to take pictures outside the Grand Lisboa (like what we did) and last but the best attraction for me was the Star of Stanley Ho which is on permanent display inside the building. The Gemological Institute of America says that the 218.08 carats (43.62 g) diamond is the largest cushion shaped internally flawless D-color diamond in the world. In his unveiling speech, Dr. Ho said that the diamond, which is named after him, reflects SJM's timeless commitment to Macau. (source: wikipedia)
