(Macau Daily News, July 1. 2010)Macau is one of the world’s premier gambling destinations, but its newest hotel, the Mandarin Oriental Macau in Nape, which opened on Tuesday, does not have a casino on its premises.

However, the MGM casino is just next door – with direct access through the One Central mall and residential complex.The luxury Mandarin Oriental hotel group opened a new hotel in Las Vegas in December that also does not have a casino.

At a meeting of Mandarin Oriental managers at the group’s New York property earlier this week, hotel officials said both the Vegas and Macau hotels offer alternatives to visitors who happen to be in gambling centers but who prefer accommodations in a non-gaming environment.“You’re going completely the other way to differentiate yourself,” said Jonas A. Schuermann, general manager of the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong.

Potential guests might include families, couples where one person likes to gamble but the other does not, and even celebrities looking for a peaceful place away from the crowds.
