Special hotel deals at the Vegas of the East

SINGAPORE – Agoda.com, Asia’s leading global hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), today announced hotel specials for some top hotels in Macau.

Famous for its glitzy entertainment complexes, luxury shopping, full-service casinos, and beautiful colonial precincts, Macau is the perfect destination for travelers looking for an excitement-filled getaway.

The “Vegas of the East” is just a short ferry ride from Hong Kong and offers travelers luxury hotels, theater shows, vibrant nightlife, sightseeing, and unique Sino-Portuguese cuisine. Attracting more than 28 million visitors in 2011, Macau’s got all the elements for whatever style of vacation travelers are looking for, whether it’s a romantic rendezvous, a fun family trip, a girly weekender, or a bachelors’ break.

Theatre shows in Macau are a major draw for all types of travelers. The City of Dreams complex puts on The House of Dancing Water featuring acrobats, aerialists, divers, and dancers on an elaborate USD250 million set. There are also cabaret shows, fighting tournaments, nightly laser light displays, and K-Pop concerts to keep travelers entertained.

One particular attraction that’s great for families is Ice World at the Venetian Macau. Featuring the work of 50 ice artists from Harbin, the elaborate creations on display were made from more than 10,000 blocks of ice, and cover a 1,656 sqm meter “freezer,” set to minus 8 degrees Celsius.

Then, there are the more iconic Macau experiences: sampling the famous Portuguese egg tarts from Margaret’s Café or Lord Stow’s Bakery, taking a gondola ride in the Venetian, exploring the ruins of St Paul’s, enjoying the excitement of the gaming tables, and taking in the city from Macau Tower’s observation deck.

Whatever the itinerary, Macau’s hotels offer great value. Properties are luxurious and packed with facilities, many hotel complexes offering enough dining and entertainment options to keep guests occupied for an entire stay.

Agoda.com has a selection of rare deals currently running at Macau hotels – some are limited time offers, so travelers should act fast to take advantage of these great savings!
