Macau (澳門) is without dispute the integrated resort capital of Asia. The gaming, hospitality, and tourism industry reputedly accounts for more than 50% of the country’s GDP and 70% of government revenue. At the paragon of the chain are its three newest arrivals: The Venetian Macau, MGM Grand Macau, and Wynn Macau Resort. I’ll let the pictures do the talking.

The new Macau integrated resorts are monuments of luxury and the most acute manifestations of conspicuous consumption. Gamblers will mostly head to the casino halls, quite oblivious to anything else, but those with an interest in architecture, design, photography, and consumer psychology would find much fodder for thought.
