The Galaxy Starworld Macau is a hotel and casino set to open in late 2006 or early 2007. The Galaxy Starworld Macau will be opening in the old Galaxy Waldo Macau hotel.
The Galaxy Starworld Macau will join the ranks of other casino hotels that are popping up all along the busy Cotai Strip in Macau. In 2002, a major monopoly on gambling in Macau was lifted, paving the way for foreign businesses and investors to try their luck at opening a casino or hotel on the Cotai Strip, which is being touted as the Las Vegas of Asia.
For travelers to Macau, or anyone vacationing in nearby China or Hong Kong looking for a break from the vast city, the Cotai Strip offers a chance to gamble and relax. Gambling laws in Macau make almost every form of gambling legal. Entrance to casinos is free but does require a passport, and photos are never allowed to be taken inside. Along with racetrack gambling and popular Chinese gambling games, casinos featuring traditional western gambling games are also gaining steam in Macau.

The Galaxy Starworld will be one of the latest additions to the Cotai Strip and the Macau hotel gambling scene. The Galaxy Starworld will be housed in the totally renovated Galaxy Waldo, a 33 story building with more than 550 rooms. The Galaxy Starworld will be located just east of the Wynn Macau, and has major plans for the gambling tables, hungry tiger machines (slots), and other types of gambling that will be housed in its enormous casino. Builders project that this Macau hotel casino will feature more than 300 gaming tables and more than 300 slot machines, among many other attractions.
Guests will also be able to stay at this Macau hotel, of course, and the billion dollar project will provide comfort and extreme elegance. While many of the hotels in Macau will look to attract foreign customers and travelers, many of the hotels in Macau will also be looking to attract Chinese businessmen. In the past, hotels in Macau have offered a chance to get away from the bustle of China’s larger cities and relax on an island paradise, that pull will only increase as the number and quality of casinos continues to increase.
Other hotels in Macau will stand along side the Galaxy Starworld to create a glitter of lights and fun along the 1.8 mile stretch that makes up the Cotai Strip. Whether you come to Macau for business or pleasure, the Galaxy Starworld and the entire Cotai Strip look to bring fun and excitement to the beach in Macau.
