I've actually taken a Rio girl to the Wynn (about 10pm) and ended up buying her a Tiffany bracelet for about 14,000 HKD.
I didn't really mean to, but we were there for Starbucks and starting walking around, and before you know it, I was in the store purchasing her this item. She didn't really ask for it, nor was I trying to show off to her. It was simply one of those in the moment things where you're both walking around, I look at something, ask her what she thinks, she tries it on, and I ask her if she wants it, a little talk ensues, and before you know it, little Tiffany box!
I'm also not above taking a WG to The Eight, Robuchon, or Inagiku for dinner and spending 2000-5000 HKD for a single meal.
I don't mind staking a WG to a small gambling stake (say under 10,000 HKD or so) so she can play alongside me on the mass gaming floor.
I DO ALL OF THIS FOR ME.
To clarify, I do these things because I want to do them. I want to walk about and shop a bit, since I never have the time when I'm preoccupied with work. I want to walk around and drink some Starbucks. I want to actually have a nice dinner in a 3 star resto instead of eating fried noodles in some sidewalk cafe. I want to watch some girl laugh and gamble, and pray to her gods as she flips over those cards.
I'm not trying to impress her, as it's 50/50 whether I'll even bother to see her again. I'm not compensating, since I'm pretty comfortable with my life, and girlfriend, well, one girlfriend is trouble enough without looking for more.
I do these things simply because I'm on vacation or trying to destress, and the money involved will not gut me.
I'm no Stanley Ho, but I am relatively comfortable, and the money I spend is money I earned.
Why not a civvie girl? Well, the answer to that is simple. I've been there and done that. And frankly speaking, having a civvie girlfriend in Macau is like having your balls cut off.
In Macau, I like to be able to wake up when I like, play poker whenever and however long I like, and fuck girls with impunity. There is nothing more disheartening than being at the top of the world, sitting pretty at the Wynn poker tables, with 300,000 HKD in winnings in front of you, than to hear the words .. "Can we go have dinner? I'm starving ......... <whine whine>".
From immortal to henpecked bitch, in one sentence or less.
Of course, there is also the problem of dodging her friends when you go to the 18 or Rio, and good luck on explaining your excursions into China. I've gone a few times on business, and wow, was it bad. She automatically, and rightly so, imagined non-stop mongering on those trips. Peck peck peck, lost a little more dignity there.
So another reason why guys do this is simple. I'm there to have fun.
I'm not inclined to go down to her standard of living while I'm on vacation, so the logical explanation is that you'll have to elevate hers (temporarily at least) to yours for the time you're together. If that means treating her to expensive restaurants, buying her a few gifts, etc, then thats just the way we have to roll.
