Macau's Nightlife is famous for its variety, its frantic pace and constant change. For night owls this is a city that never sleeps, with plenty of bars, shops and restaurants, as well as casinos that are open all night long. Visitors will have no problem if they wish to get a delicious meal or go dancing in the middle of the night.
Here, courtesy of the Macau Government Tourism Authority, are some ideas on where to dance the night away:
Pub life
If your attendees are looking for bars and pubs, they'll find them along the Avenida Sun Yat Sen, close to the Kum Iam Statue and the Cultural Centre. With its picturesque location facing the Outer Harbour and Pearl River, visitors can enjoy the music and the wine while watching the boats gliding by.
The music is cosmopolitan, with bars pulsing to the rhythms of Brazil, Portugal, England, Africa, and every part of Asia. In some bars there are live bands performing requests--the bars and pubs in hotels such as the Landmark, Holiday Inn, Emperor, and the Westin are good bets.
There are also some popular pubs on Taipa Island, opposite the Macau Jockey Club, with a casual ambience. On Coloane, you can drink under the stars on the terrace of the Pousada de Coloane or sip a glass of Port in the Westin Resort.
Disco fever
For the most popular trendy discos in town, head for NAPE and Avenida do Infante D. Henrique. Here the music is modern with some local touches--international pop in Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, and Japanese.
Macau can can-can
Cabaret-style entertainment is also on offer, with performances of the Crazy Paris Show daily at Restaurant Portas do Sol of Hotel Lisboa from 10 p.m. to 10:30 p.m., while in the Jai Alai Show Palace, on the 2nd Floor of the Jai Alai Complex there are continuous performances every night from 7:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m.
Karaoke
In Macau there are plenty of clean and safe karaoke clubs, mainly in the city center, Rua dos Pescadores, Estrada do Repouso, on Taipa Island, and near the Jockey Club. These clubs offer reasonable prices and packages (room and drinks/snacks), and are a nice opportunity to throw your very own American Idol night with attendees.
