We couldn't afford to stay in the suites in The Venetian (oh yes, they've only got suites) but we could at least shop in its huge shopping mall which is so gigantic that it has a long fake river with fake gondolas with fake gondoliers rowing and singing to their real customers with real money.
Oh, and the sky is fake as well. It's always a bright blue sky to give you the illusion that the day is still young and you can continue to shop or gamble till you drop.
The casinos look real ugly during the day time. They look damn old and lifeless. But once the night is here, all the neon lights really liven things up!
There's a musical fountain right in front of the Wynn casino with performance about every 20 minutes. It's not as large scaled as the one we've got in Sentosa, and there is no flashing laser shows and performers with Disney characters voices, but hey, it's free.
With a casino just at every corner of every street, it is not possible not to enter at least one. And we entered three anyway. I played a bit of roulette and won a couple bucks, but the huge "win" that my friend and I had was a big SGD300 each! Because, like I said earlier... we entered THREE casinos, and in Singapore, that's a whopping THREE hundred dollars of Casino Levy that we saved!
For supper, we took a cab to Luk Kee Noodle to try their famous handmade noodles with shrimp eggs. The boss was really generous with the shrimp eggs, but while they are fragrant, they also made the noodles a bit too salty for me. These little shrimp eggs kinda taste like our habi-ham without the chili. The noodles is still the star, which is still made by sitting on a huge bamboo and bouncing on the dough. As a result, it is damn bouncy!
