Wynn does have a property in Macau. It opened in September '06. The Playboy Club is supposed to be housed inside Macao Studio City, a separate gaming operation. The current Wynn Macau rack is Bourgogne et Grasset. You can see a current 25 chip in Ross' earlier post.

excerpt from the Chicago Tribune---

"Hefner plans to open a 40,000-square-foot Playboy Mansion in Macau, China, in 2009. Playboy will pay $5 million for a 49 percent stake in the venue, Hefner said today in the statement. The complex, featuring a casino and bunny-suited waitresses, will generate about $4 million in sales from the first year, she said."

Wynn already opened. I was there in May, very similar to Vegas. Didn't get any chips from there but managed to get a couple from three other places. Send off 3 of them to a members. I have 2 left that I will send off to some other member at this site (not much of a collector, they will just get lost with me.)

FYI also, chips/jetons are bigger, maybe 43mm. Chips are valued in HongKong $ with lowest denom at $10 HK = approx $1.25 US. Min bet at the casino I visited seem to be $100 HK.

MGM to be open soon plus another that I can't recall. I was there for the opening of Stanley Ho's new Crown.

Gambling revenue exceeded Vegas for 2006 and currently ahead of Vegas this year. But despite that, I like Vegas much better. Also when I was there, no poker but I understand they have poker now. I would love to be able to play poker there against wild gambling orient type of players.
