🏰 A comprehensive introduction to Casa Real Casino at the Grand Lapa Hotel

Hi everyone, I'm back again! This time, I'm introducing a casino in Macau that's relatively understated, yet incredibly historic and authentic— Casa Real Casino . Compared to larger integrated resorts like the Venetian, Wynn, and StarWorld, Casa Real Casino's approach to entertainment is friendly, convenient, and traditional, making it a favorite among locals and regulars. 🎰

📍 Location and Background

The Grand Lapa Hotel Casino is located near the Macau Outer Harbour Ferry Terminal , just a few minutes' walk away. It has extremely convenient transportation and is a good and convenient place to stay for Hong Kong tourists coming by ferry.

• Opening background : Casa Real Hotel opened in the 1990s, and the casino was operated by SJM Holdings.
• Origin of the name : "Casa Real" means "Royal House" in Spanish, implying dignity and comfort.
• Positioning Features : Although not as large as The Venetian or The Parisian, it focuses on being "medium-sized, affordable, and convenient," attracting a large number of independent travelers.

I think the Grand Lihua Casino is more like a "neighborhood casino," not so fancy, but practical. 👍

🛌 Hotel accommodation experience

The Grand Lapa Hotel is a four-star hotel that, together with a casino, forms a small integrated resort.

• Number of guest rooms : approximately 380, including standard rooms, superior rooms and suites.
• Design style : The decoration is mainly traditional European style, simple and comfortable, with a business-oriented style.
• Facilities : Swimming pool, fitness center, sauna and conference room are all available.
• Location advantage : The hotel is just opposite the Outer Harbor Terminal, which is perfect for quick-service travelers.

I think the Grand Lapa Hotel isn't fancy, but it does offer great value for money and convenience, making it a perfect choice for business travelers or Hong Kong residents making a quick weekend getaway to Macau.

🎰 Casino facilities

The Grand Lapa Casino is one of the hotel's core highlights, operated by SJM and offering a comprehensive range of gaming games.

• Gaming area : Although not huge, the space is sufficient and the atmosphere is lively.
• Game Type :
  • Traditional gambling tables: Baccarat, Sic Bo, Roulette, Blackjack, etc.
  • Slot Machines: A moderate number of slot machines with a wide variety of types.
• VIP Room : A dedicated high-stakes betting area, providing a more comfortable and private environment.
• Atmosphere and characteristics : Compared with large-scale casinos, the Grand Lihua Casino is more intimate and suitable for guests who want to keep a low profile but still want to try their luck.

I've observed this on-site and found that most of the players here are regulars. It feels like a "neighborhood casino" and they play in a relaxed and comfortable manner.

🍴 Dining options

There are several restaurants in Grand Lapa Hotel to satisfy the tastes of different guests.

• Cantonese restaurant : provides Cantonese cuisine and dim sum, suitable for family guests.
• Western restaurant : Serves steak, pasta, salad and other Western dishes.
• Cafe : Serving light meals, desserts and drinks throughout the day, convenient for quick dining.
• Nearby food : There are many authentic restaurants just outside the hotel, such as Portuguese cuisine and tea restaurants.

I think the restaurant at Grand Lapa Hotel is not "high-end and luxurious", but it is "authentic and down-to-earth", and the prices are more affordable than those at large resorts🍲.

🛍️ Shopping and convenience

The Grand Lapa Casino itself does not have a large high-end shopping mall, which is very different from the Venetian and Galaxy.

• Shopping in the hotel : There are a few boutiques and souvenir shops.
• Shopping nearby : As it is located near the pier, there are convenience stores, duty-free shops and shopping malls nearby.
• Positioning : Not a luxury shopping paradise, but a practical one.

I think the advantage of Jinlihua is not shopping, but convenience and its role as a "staying place"👜.

🎭 Entertainment and atmosphere

The Grand Lihua Casino is relatively low-key and does not have the large-scale performances of the Venetian, but it also has its own characteristics.

• Entertainment atmosphere : The atmosphere is relaxed, and the main customers are regular customers and independent travelers.
• Decoration design : mainly simple and practical, without too many gorgeous elements, but clean and tidy.
• Entertainment positioning : Closer to the "gaming experience" itself, rather than comprehensive performance entertainment.

I feel like this place is like the "Macau Neighborhood Casino", not so exaggerated, but still has the same atmosphere when playing 🎇.
