OMG ... I say again the amount of garbage that comes out of your mouth is incredible !

You tell us you're the messenger ... a messenger from who ?  yourself right ?

its not my intention trying to make you any wiser but you need to know that in HK the majority of users over the age of 40 under the government methadone treatment plan are on the plan because they cant afford to buy H and  they tend to drift between using H and M depending their affordability at that time !  and one more thing to make you a bit more wiser ... in TW  most of the 141 rooms are not rented out to the girls, the girls work in those rooms for the landlord ... the landlord do their share protecting the girls and if and when these drug addicts roam their floors the girls loose business because other punters avoid going there ... when it happens the girls calls for help and someone comes around to rid them ...

Back to the matter on hand ... you still have not answered me if you have first hand experience with the 'old' macau

You're such a pussy, Mongoloid.

You will use any data available, no matter how feeble, to help make a point you want to make. Andthen cave in so easily when someone challenges you.  Destroys your rep and credibility.  

You are young. Fair enough.

You might become something in life. You clearly have intelligence. But right now you are a fuckin waste of bits.

Go DO something. Get some real experience. Not this pretend shit you are doing here. I bet you have other forums where you pretend to be "one of them" also. Stop that.

Get real experience... And then use your talents for good.   

Good luck.

i did not read the article u posted.
but i believe the title.
Macau wants to shed its bad boy image.
but doesn't mean Macau will become a good boy.

I am a Saint in front of my family.
But i go to KTV 7 days a week.

I do whatever I can to remove any bad image of myself in front of my family.
But that never ever stopped me from punting.

Which means IMO, Macau will never be dead in terms of prostitution.
you and me, we might even party together in Macau 10 years from now,

This is a good thread.

I certainly hope they dont turn Macau off until after my visit..lol

I see mention above regarding drug users. I have to tell you that drug use in HKG never entered my mind..Not that I am a user, never have been and never will, but  Seeing people on drugs in our capitol cities here is not uncommon. I dont recall ever seeing anyone in HKG who I thought might  have a drug problem. It never crossed my mind.

thank you for your reply …

this is a perfect example of what happens when people reads disinformation  !

you may have replied in half seriousness but what you read did bring questions into your head, right ?

don't worry, you'll get your jollies when you get to macau … and please tell us you'd experiences afterwards

I realize this is not a thread about Las Vegas, but a few more words to add to what mrclen wrote.  Las Vegas, as far back as the mid-late 1970s was watching a disturbing trend in their clientel.  The deep pocket 'high roller' gamblers were not going to LV in the great numbers as they were in the 50's and 60's.  Rather they were heading up to S. Lake Tahoe and enriching those casinos liberally.  Actually there was quiet talk about a less than desireable crowd which were the regulars in LV and dragging down the general quality of the Vegas experience.

Also Atlantic City had just opened casino style gambling and that was taking away more $$$ from the LV casinos.

The revitalization of LV was actually a multi-faceted approach to do whatever it took to get anyone, even families with kids, to go back to LV and spend their money.  As mrclen wrote, LV is not a family resort experience.  Rather they have embraced a more general approach to not be seen as only gambling or carnal pursuits.  Need proof ?  Roller coasters at New York New York and the Stratosphere (coaster is closed now);  Ferris wheel of gigantic proportions on the strip; high end shopping experience to rival any destination at Wynn's and other hotels; shoot a real machine gun, no pproblem at many legal gun ranges; and etc. etc.

IF - -  Macau begins a metamorphosis into something new, it will be interesting to see what happens.  I have not yet been there.  I am still stuck in the 60's when Macau produced all the firecrackers we had here in the States.
