The City of Dreams is just across The Venetian Macao and was our last stop on our day-long Macau excursion. It's the usual casino with gleaming marble floors, interesting ceilings and nice water features. Isn't it obvious that I'm all casinoed out by this time?
Anyway, we decided to watch a show at the Bubble Theater to see what everyone's raving about in blogs and message boards. We joined the long lines and bought our 50 MOP tickets at the counter. This show is every 30 minutes at 12:00pm to 6:00pm (probably on account of the large day-tour crowd from Hong Kong) and every hour thereafter up to 10:00pm, so getting a ticket was not a problem.
The show itself was great. You enter into a domed theater like what you see in a planetarium. It's better to be situated at the back to better appreciate the 360-degree screen.
I loved the bright and colorful lights and the speed of the dragons swimming onscreen. I got a little dizzy following all the characters around, haha! Truth be told, I barely paid attention to the story because the LED lights were just so awesome.
The show lasted all of 10 minutes and was a great experience, a perfect end to a wonderful day. On our way out, we saw the pictures taken on our way in, plastered on key chains & refrigerator magnets.
We looked somewhat nice in it--and since my sister was still pining for the Disneyland photos we forgot to claim the previous day--so we grabbed these photos for $20. That ends our Macau adventure and we took the free shuttle bus to the terminal to catch our 5:00 pm ferry back to Hong Kong.
