How much does a Macau trip cost?
Macau can suit almost any budget. Budget travelers staying in guesthouses and eating at dai pai dong street stalls can get by on around MOP 400–600 (USD 50–75) per person per day. Mid-range travelers with 3-star hotels and restaurant meals should budget MOP 1,200–1,800 (USD 150–225) per person per day. Luxury visitors at Cotai Strip resorts and fine-dining venues typically spend MOP 3,000–5,000+ (USD 375–625+) per person per day.
Key money-saving tips: casino hotels offer free shuttle buses from the border and ferry terminals — use them. HKD is accepted everywhere at near parity with MOP, so no need to exchange all your money. Avoid casino currency exchange booths; use ATMs instead.
