The casino business in Macau has a much longer history than that of Las Vegas. Macau legalized gambling in 1849 after centuries of it being a thing. Meanwhile, Las Vegas was founded in 1905. So the title should be called ''How the US built its own Macau... but smaller'' lol.
Macau legalized gambling in the 1850s under Portuguese administration, establishing a long-standing tradition of gaming. In contrast, Las Vegas was founded in 1905, and Nevada legalized gambling in 1931, marking the beginning of its casino industry. Therefore, Macau's casino history predates that of Las Vegas by several decades. Referring to Las Vegas as the U.S.'s version of Macau, albeit smaller, aligns with the historical timelines of their respective gambling industries. @@usienwkdau2jfb28u4b
A video about Zaha Hadid would be incredible! Her style and designs have always been captivating and unique. I remember when she passed away years ago, and I was honestly shaken by it.
B1M and Macau!? My oh my! Awesome job! Fun fact: the owner of the Morpheus hotel (part of a greater integrated resort City of Dreams) Lawrence Ho is the son of late Stanley Ho.
The gambling world of Macau is much more than just Stanley Ho. I was surprised that you did not mention Sand Macau which opened in 2005, the first ever foreign funded Casino licensed to run gambling business in Macau. The franchise was later diverted from one or two to six gambling licenses that attracted enormous foreign money to build mega casinos, which shaped what Macau is nowadays as gambling capital of the world. Morpheus is amazing but there are much much more that you did not cover.
The bringing in of new concessions was hardly competition for Stanley Ho. The Ho family run the gaming bureau and have large investments in and hold prominent roles in the other concessionaires. By bringing in these new concessionaires, they opened Macau to the world stage and brought in massive foreign investment which the Ho family only benefits from.
Stanley Ho, I remember he has a giant floating pagoda marooned at manila bay, if he had his way he would have turned manila into his next big casino destination, oh wait now there are gigantic resort casino in manila.
(Not so) fun fact: Macau lost more than half of its GDP due to the pandemic because they relied so heavily on gambling. Their economy is gradually healing though.
Isnt Macao a special administrative region of China (SAR). They have a different currency, different laws, different government, different language etc
Yes but not really. The official currency is MOP but CNY is widely accepted. We have our own government and legislative branch, a lot of the decisions need green light from Chinese Central government. The population mostly speak Cantonese here but mandarin is also widely spoken and understood.
“One country two system”We don’t have a President or Prime minister but a Chief Executive. He reports to Xi the President of China but still maintains a separate governing and economic system from mainland China. It will last for 50 years from 1999 when it was handed over by the Portuguese. In 2049 by then, Macau will have the same system as similar to the mainland China. Btw: In 20 Dec we will be celebrating 25 years since the handover from the Portuguese to the Chinese.
Macau is not comparable to Las Vegas. It's a place for gambling addicts and nothing more. Very few shows, almost nonexistent nightlife, and none of the fun mood that Las Vegas is known for.
I have been to both places and Macau is the best. The video says Macau has 33 million visitors per year and they are not all there for gambling. Macau has historical sites, food scene, shopping, culture and almost no crime.
I am sure that you have never been to Macau, otherwise you won't say that. There are tons of entertainments, concerts and exhibitions in addition to nightlife, or perhaps you did not look close enough to find the nightclubs, pool party, lounges and disco or you have never heard of House of Dancing water before. There are many American singers that have been to Macau to perform, like Celine Dion, Katy Parry, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey etc etc and BTS, Blackpink, Stray Kids and many many more. By the way, Bruno Mars is coming to Macau for concert next month. You are welcome !
Great china ever great in the world ❤hong kong returned from bullying british taiwan returned from bullying japan & macao returned from bullying portugal ,,,huge salute to motherlandchina 🎉
A lot of facts wrong . the Zaha Hadid is a building part of City of dreams , the weakest player of the big Casino Companies . Sands is the biggest , with Sands , Paris the Londoner etc , then Ho with new casinos on top of the mentioned ones , followed by Galaxy ,Wynn and MgM . As much as I appreciate your chanel, this is a low . On top , there is no waterpark , but waterpark like pools in some of the casinos . The waterpark is in Zhuhai China just across the border .
This is not a video analysing the business performance of the Macau casino operators. BTW, we do have a water park in Macau. Look up Studio City Macau.
If you read correctly I mentioned the hotel pools with water park character . Any still a lot of facts were wrong . As you should know if you live in Macau .
That's not true. They celebrate National Day on Oct 1 every year. Also, every single ID in Macau printed with "The People's Republic of China". You can't deny the fact.

Not only that but in 1840 Nevada was still part of Mexico.

A New Vegas you say? Nice. Hopefully no fallout.

La Vegas started its gambling business in late 1930, where has Macau started gambling business rounds 1890, definitely not “new”

B1M should team up and do a crossover episode with Dami Lee!
Maybe start adding series on the work of individual architects
Another stellar video from the B1M. And that exoskeleton building is absolutely striking!
Macau was in several James Bond movies. I just can't find references on top of my head.
B1M and Macau!? My oh my! Awesome job!
Fun fact: the owner of the Morpheus hotel (part of a greater integrated resort City of Dreams) Lawrence Ho is the son of late Stanley Ho.
Big fan of the editing on this one!
Great job! So much I didn't know - thank you!
"Gold = wealth in China" Wow what an unique and unexpected culture
The Morpheus building is amazing. The steel structure with its curves, just wow!
Often imitated but will never be duplicated
Having visited a month ago for the Macau Grand Prix and having managed to not spend a single Pataca in a casino, can't wait to watch this!
The rain sure made the GP even more interesting than it usually is.
This year I visited Macau on a day trip from Hong Kong and it is really fascinating. Thanks for the great memories!
Bender would love this

Yea Las Vegas Sands is bigger in Macau than any other company. They don’t even have Vegas properties anymore.
Damn good video. The ending was pretty dope as well!

And traded military supplies for the win.

Vegas: 367.53 sqkm
Macau: 115.3 sqkm
"Bigger"
I believe the narrator is referring to the scale of gambling activities there not landmass
Sure, but only the US's Vegas is safe.
Vegas is safe? Lol
Define safe. Plus I'm guessing they have way more security cameras, for the CCP's protection of course.
