Macau has overtaken Las Vegas' gambling revenues in 2006, according to Coastal International Exhibition Company, which hosts the annual International Gaming and Entertainment Expo.

“With the potential to attract 10 times the number of people as Las Vegas, there is no doubt that Macau will surpass Las Vegas as the world’s number-one casino city,” said Coastal International. “Big investments will keep on flowing to the development of mega hotel casino resort projects.
