Is Macau cheap? It depends on where you’re coming from. If you’re arriving from Thailand, Vietnam and, to a lesser extent, China it’s likely to leave you with a pain in your wallet. But if you compare the city to Hong Kong, and most people do, Macau is cheap – in fact, it’s a bargain.

Even though Macau is a much smaller city and has less space to fit gigantic casino resorts, it still has a gambling revenue that is three times higher than that of Las Vegas, which is quite impressive. The GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) of Las Vegas is $6.4 billion, 34% of which comes from playing casino games.

For the most part Macau is very safe and visitors experience very low levels of crime. However, visitors should take the usual precautions that they would take in any city, eg take extra care of passports, credit cards and money in crowded areas and late at night.

On the whole, the cost of living in Macau is not quite as high as Hong Kong. However, it’s still regarded as an expensive place to live in the context of elsewhere in Asia, from Chiang Mai to Manilla. If you have a career in a good profession, or a sizeable bank account already, you can thrive in Macau.

“Macau” remains the official modern Portuguese spelling and is adopted by many European countries. “Macao”, the original spelling, is officially used by The People’s Republic of China and commonly used by many English-speaking governments, including Australia and New Zealand.
