Galaxy Entertainment Group has announced that Galaxy Macau,
the latest and hotly anticipated integrated destination resort in the Cotai
entertainment area, will open on 15 May, starting the countdown toward Macau’s
biggest opening for 2011. The much buzzed-about destination resort is slated to
be a major attraction for millions of Asian visitors this year.

‘From the beginning, our vision has been to develop and
operate a resort that captures the heartfelt service culture and unique flavor
of Asia – something we call “World Class, Asian Heart”,’
noted Dr. Lui Che Woo, Founder and Chairman of the Galaxy Entertainment Group.

‘This is especially critical for success in a market where
Asian travelers are so dominant. In this way, we can make guests from around
the region feel right at home, whilst providing an authentic Asian resort
experience for visitors from around the world as well.’

Built with a total investment of HK$14.9 billion, the Galaxy
Macau is the first truly integrated resort property of its kind, boasting
bona-fide resort features. Most striking of these is the property’s spectacular
52,000sm Grand Resort Deck, where a 350-ton white sand beach will frame the
Skytop Wave Pool – the world’s largest of its kind – generating waves that will
reach as high as 1.5m. Several pools and private cabanas will dot the Grand
Resort Deck area, making it ideal for private and corporate functions.

Accommodation at Galaxy Macau will be provided by three
iconic Asian hotel brands: the Banyan Tree Macau; the Hotel Okura Macau; and
the Galaxy Hotel, which will become GEG’s flagship Cotai hotel. 

Rounding out the luxurious resort setting are an
extensive offering of Asian-themed restaurants and in-house entertainment,
chief among which will be the ultra-exclusive China Rouge, a hybrid private
membership club, performance theatre, and bar conceptualized by renowned Hong
Kong designer, Alan Chan. Meant to evoke the glamour of 1930s Shanghai, the
club will fit seamlessly into the gorgeous surrounds of the Galaxy Macau.
