If you go

Macao is easily accessible via flights from major Chinese cities and by ferry from Shenzhen and Hong Kong.

There is free shuttle service to and from the top casinos and the nearby airports and ferries.

The local currency is the pataca. ATMs are plentiful on the island, particularly near the casinos, and dispense your choice of patacas or Hong Kong dollars. HK dollars are accepted almost everywhere, but your change will be in patacas.
