Towering over Cotai like a sci-fi palace out of Star Wars, the ginormous gold-and-white Galaxy is one of the most extravagant megacasinos in the city (and that's saying something). It contains six hotels, more than 100 restaurants and kilometres of upmarket shopping, as well as a movie theatre and a jaw-dropping rooftop wave pool and lazy river (for hotel guests only).
The wave pool and Adventure Rapids are almost theme-park standard and a huge hit with the kids.
The brightly lit game floors tinkle with the sounds of dice and slot machines all night long. Mere gawkers can enjoy lobby violinists, wandering dance troupes and a fountain that lights up and sings on the hour.
