City of Dreams, the latest giant Macau Casino Complex and Resort opened its doors recently with the grand opening and was marked by a huge fireworks display, while hundreds of punters queued to try their luck at the new tables.

The $2.4bn project will be Macau's second-largest casino complex - complete with three hotel towers, more than 500 gambling tables and 1,500 gaming machines, Las Vegas-style shows, an upscale shopping mall and restaurants.

City of Dreams is owned by Melco Crown Entertainment, a joint venture between Lawrence Ho and James Packer, son of the late Australian media and gambling magnate, Kerry.
