As the Dark Velvet Night Envelops Macau...

Night skyline of Macau

I feel my senses come tickling alive. The chirpy birds in the day go to bed and I can feel the buzzing rise of the night creatures who will take over the night with me. I think there’s a vampire in me, which shuns the day-light world when it drowns in the merciless sun’s fatal emission. The night is where the vampire queen shall rule.

Be there to feel the pulse of Macau Nightlife

Nights in Macau does not disappoint those who seek pleasure and groove. The steady beat of music accompanies the various exorbitant crazy themed clubs and bar at the Docks. The Docks is the place which will sure send anyone a shivering delight to join in the fun for some bar hopping and snazzy club scenes. You have the choice to be accompanied by showy entertainers, glitzy live dance bands, divvy Portuguese folk dancing, or some world class disc jockeys spinning out some cool beat. The best of these entertainment scenes at the Docks is located around the Avenida Sun Yat Sen. It’s not a hard spot to find as the gigantic bronze statue of Goddess of Mercy positioned there will tell you that you’re at the right place.

If you are not up for drinks and work out sessions at the dance floor, go sing to your heart’s content at Macau’s famed karaoke bars and clubs at Taipa Island. I’m sure you’ll be familiar with how it works at these places with their ready-made packages which provides you the rooms, drinks and snacks. Be assured that the prices are reasonable as you get ready your vocal chords for some soul singing/ croaking.

Have a chill-out drink before your karaoke session!

Not in the mood to sing and dance? It takes too much effort? Ah, head to the casinos then. Macau, being the Las Vegas of Asia, does not sleep. Go try out your luck at the many games found at any of the casinos. The usual being Black Jack, Baccarat, Rouletter, or you can learn some games and play it the Chinese’s way in Fantan or Dai-Siu.

As for me who dances with two left foot and have the talent to croak more than sing, you’ll find me heading to Nam Van Lake Cybernetic Fountain. This mega high-tech fountain features laser beam and musical accompaniment along with jets sprouting out dancing water up to 80 meters high into the sky. It is truly one-of-its-kind performance featuring both laser and music performances at different days. The 30 minutes laser performance is on every Saturday and Sunday at 8:30 pm & 9:30 pm while the 1-hour music performance can be enjoyed on Monday to Friday at 1 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm and 9:30 to 10 pm. On Saturday and Sunday, the music performances are at 10 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm and 9:30 to 10 pm.
