Now in it’s 28th year the Macau International Fireworks Display Contest takes place at the sea area across from the Macau Tower on the 3rd, 10th, 15th and 24th September and 1st October. Ten teams will compete in the year’s event and look to dazzle the Macau skyline with spectacular displays tied to a series of themes: Pyro Fantasia, Tribute to Bond, Mid-Autumn Harmony, Stars from Afar and Celebration in the Sky.

This year’s strong line-up of competitors features ten teams from (in order of appearance in the contest): Thailand, Portugal, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Italy, Canada, Romania and China. The Romanian and Canadian companies are making their Macau debuts while the other eight teams have all entertained and placed well in previous years.

The newest hotel in Macau is the 400 room St Regis Macao which opened today. The hotel, part of the Starwood Hotels & Resorts group, is operated by Sands China Ltd and sits next to the Sheraton Hotel and across the road from the Venetian casino. The St. Regis Macao is the brand’s seventh hotel in China and offers something a little different at the luxury end of the Macau hotel market with suites ranging in size from 53 to 477 square meters (570 to 5,135 sq feet).

As well as spa on the 38/F the hotel has five dining outlets including the St Regis Bar which serves the hotel’s signature Bloody Mary, the Maria do Leste, created in New York in the 1900’s  – which features spices that Portuguese sailors also brought to Macau, such as pink peppercorns, piri-piri and cinnamon.
