The Grand Lisboa Hotel and casino is the tallest building in Macau at 261 meters (856 ft.). It has the flawless 218-carat diamond "Star of Stanley Ho" on permanent display in the lobby together with the Qing dynasty sculpture of a bronze horse head from the Summer Palace.
It's a worthwhile visit just for those two, but throw in our tourist guide's hilarious stories about the Grand Lisboa's owner, "The King of Gambling" Stanley Ho's complicated love life (4 wives, 17 children!) and we've got a very entertaining glimpse at the life of one of the world's richest men.
I loved this building's unique structure with its lotus-inspired facade and sharp edges. The intricate design of the ceiling was quite eye-catching and mom just had to pose beside the giant vase near the entrance.. oh ma!
