Former Portuguese colony, Macau, is emerging as one of Asia's new tourism hotspots. Gamblers can't get enough of this new Vegas, and when the Wynn Las Vegas clone, Wynn Macau opened last fall we figured we would be hearing plenty of tips, reviews, and scuttlebutt about the Wynn clone.

Alas, like most clones it appears that Wynn Macau is lacking a fully formed soul. Of course, it is visually stunning, just like the original and offers all the requisite luxury hardware you would expect, but it is the software that gets people griping. Early complaints we hear include, but are not limited to: the lack of a dedicated Wynn shuttle from the ferry building, the lobby bar shutting down at 10pm., and the overall level of service.

Nothing that the Wynn hotel maestros can't fix, after all the shell is there, sounds like this place just needs a dose of Steve Wynn himself. After all the benevolent, yet pedantic, dictator who loathes split infinitives surely despises long waits in hotel shuttle lines just as much.

The Google Earth shot above was obviously taken during the construction phase of Wynn Macau. It just reminded us so much of the early second Death Star shots from Return of the Jedi that we felt like sharing the irony. Yes, we know, these days Wynn Macau is fully operational.

Don't worry, Steve Wynn doesn't bite. Feel free to let the world know what you think of Wynn Macau in the comments.

    Re: The Eerily Silent Wynn Macau Reviews

    I have been researching the wynn macau as I intend to stay there during my visit to Macau in a couple of weeks. I had made a few phone calls to the hotel to clarify some of my booking options. My experience with the reservations rep has been so unpleasant and unexpected of such an esteemed hotel as the Wynn. I've visited the vegas hotel, and my impression so far is that I shouldn't expecte remotely as close a service from the same hotel in macau as that in vegas, and yet the price seems to be much higher.

    This seems to be true of many reviews I've read about the Wynn Macau, even that published by the New York times which seems to be inline with reflecting poor service levels from such an exquisite hotel.

    Management needs to reconsider to bring service levels up to par if not exceed that reputable service like in vegas.
