Although packed full of history, most visitors come to Macau today to gamble, gamble, gamble and feast on the tasty local cuisine. Macau is now considered the world's most profitable casino market, with reported gaming revenue being $33.5 billion USD in 2011 - far outpacing Las Vegas, Nevada in the United States. A lot of this has to do with the recent economic upswing in China. One of our cab drivers told us that for every ten people that come to Macau now, nine are visitors from mainland China.
