hey wanna ask does Macau have those weather issue during certain month like typhoon in HK or taiwan??? i am planning a trip there this august oh....

I'm travelling with mixed group with youngest just 10 years old up to old lady of age 76, so need clean and decent rooms with attached bathroom.
The are many budge hotels in Macau peninsula but how long does it take to reach the airport and to go to the island for signt-seeing ? From the map, the airport is on the island and will I get delayed cos of traffic jam on the bridge liking macau peninsula to the island - I'm scared to missed the flight back home due to jam on the bridge ( like Penang Bridge).

Macau has so many casinos. What FOC drinks are available inside ? Any FOC food/tidbits also ?
Are the drinks from vending machines where U can serve yourself ? Can U fill up drinks (like say coke) in a bottle to drink outside the casino ?

If this is the case, it's sucks. In S'pore casinos, U can just get free-flow of Milo, Nascafe, soft-drinks, etc either from the vandor-machine staff or serve yourself if she is not there. Which casino did U go to to get only plain water ?

Even the dress code entering Macau casinos are so relaxing.. When we still need to wear Batiks & proper dress code to Genting Casinos in the early 90's.. I entered Lisboa casino (The largest on at that time) just wearing round T-shirt and sport shoe   ..That time, The Genting casinos looks & feel much more grand than Lisboa. Ony recent years, with more & more casinos in Macau, you get the same grand feeling there but the dressing code in Macau still as simple as last time.. 

Haha.. well true also.. During the early 90's, the tallest buiding in Macau is just beside the Lisboa casino i.e that Bank of China. Infact Macau ppl that time more accomodating to China's chinese rather than Hong Kong eventhough HK returned to China slightly earlier. And between the 2 buildings, there is the big roundabout and the famus Macau bridge (The only one) to Taipa island. No airport yet that time and Taipa island really hulu place and less populated.

Furthermore you can't see any surrounding tall buidings opposite Macau City which is right now - Zhuhai New City. Last time opposite side just jungles! And I din know it's China..  ..Fast forward during my visit in 2008.. darn.. Those Zhuhai jungle areas are now mostly highrises and even more & grand than Macau City

See whether I can find some of the old Macau photos and I scan & share here later 

Surely some of the casinos offer free-flow coffee and soft-drinks like in Genting Highlands and the 2 casinos in S'pore ? Else how could they be so stingy - afterall Macau do 6 times more business vs Las Vargas

I'm taking the earliest flight to Macau and expected to reach Macau at 10.15am. Since I can only check-in at 2pm (Golden Crown China Hotel), can I leave my luggage at the reception to go sight-seeing 1st and check-in later ? If yes, are there any charges ?

Where can I get cheap food in Macau ? I still can't find any while googling. Seems so much more expensive vs KL - see some reviews saying USD$10 for a meal is real cheap. Where do the locals there eat ? Don't they have cheap hawker food like in KL where a bowl of noodles cost just RM5 or a plate of "chap fan" or chicken rice for RM5 ?

Where can I buy fresh fruits cheap like oranges or apples ? What are the prices ?

Do they have hypermarkets like Tasco, Carrefour ?

anyone have any suggestions on budget hotels? is it safe for a lady travelling alone there?

i am planing on Macau for Christmas. gonna stay there around 4 day 3 night. any hotel recommendation? and price per night roughly? Location and convenience is my concern.

btw, i ald got air ticket, now left hotel only..

any location for hotel i should be focus on?

If want Cotai Area near to Casino then Holiday Inn Cotai will be the best option.

those are all expensive except Holiday Inn.

Holiday Inn at Cotai are best , high review , opposite Venetian. cheaper price

I've stayed in Hard rock, sheraton, venetian, holiday in and grand hyatt,,, believe me Grand Hyatt is the best

Any free hotel shuttle bus to Macau Giant Panda Pavilion ?

Just came back from Macau last nite. Can find plenty of eating places selling food quite cheap but not near the casinos/hotels, e.g. there a a Chinese supermarket chain stores which sell local stuff but this chain also sells chap fan - 2 meat plus 1 vegi with soup cost just MOP23 and the portion is really big that the 5 of us just need to pack 3 packets and share among ourselves.. U can find places with benches and tables to eat your meal, means ave cost per pax only about MOP14 or only about RM5.60. We can aslo find a MeDonald which sells chichen/double beef burger for just MOP9... if U buy the same item in the hotels/casinos cost like MPM29.
There are also plenty of small family food shops...with just table/chairs for 5-6 customers around the ruins of Senado square selling noodles/rice meal for around MOP22.
From the comments here with gives an over-price estimate of meal cost...I think can't even spend 1/2 of my MOP/HK money.... as I thought food was like 3X more expensive vs here in KL...but some..like McD even cheaper vs KL.

I go so many country in world....Malaysia McD are cheapest due to 12pm-3pm // 6pm-9pm sales.
