The City of Dreams, which is situated in Macau, is precisely what it sounds like. That is, at least, for anyone who appreciates spending an opulent vacation at one of the top five casinos worldwide. The casino’s grounds boast over 2,000 hotel rooms split over nine hotels, nearly three dozen restaurants and bars, and 175,000 square feet of retail space—more than most American malls.
