Referências em guias de turismo ao "Macau Palace"

O Casino flutuante Macau Palace foi um ícone da indústria do jogo de Macau durante várias décadas (encerrou na primeira década do século 21). Tinha três pisos e, para além do jogo, um excelente restaurante de gastronomia chinesa onde se destacava o dim sum. 
Para este post selecionei algumas referências ao espaço escritas em publicações sobre turismo.
"At mid - 1969 there were two main casinos, the Casino de Macau in the Estoril Hotel and the Macau Palace or " floating casino " near the Inner Harbour end of the Ave. Almeida Ribeiro.

"Two exciting gambling casinos in operation are the Macau Palace Floating Casino and the Casino do Lisboa. The Macau Palace, moored in the Inner Harbor, is a palatial casino with exotic Chinese décor, like a Mississippi steamer."

"If you're a gambler and don't want to stray too far from the dice, the Macau Palace serves up dim sum (by day) and good steaks and seafood in the floating casino."
