As usual, Jaunted has the in-depth wrap-up while we focus on hotels.<p>Naturally, the big hotel pick for Macau would be the Wynn but we wanted to take a look at what else is going on over there. Surprisingly, there's a lot to choose from--Hyatt, Westin, and even a Holiday Inn. Unfortunately, we've heard a bit of complaints about Macau in general. Namely, that the air is extremely dirty and that it's got a long way to go if it wants to live up Las Vegas standards.<p> Take for instance the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/MANDARIN+ORIENTAL+MACAU/ian/141267"><b>Mandarin Oriental Macau</b></a>.

We, on the other hand, would rather stop in at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/RITZ+CARLTON+KUALA+LUMPUR/ian/142036"><b>Ritz-Carlton</b></a> in Kuala Lumpur, mainly because it's a Ritz we can afford.
