Abstract: This program profiles Macao, a former Portuguese colony that was ceded to China in 1999. All of the city's income is derived from its thriving tourism industry, built primarily around casinos and "girly" bars. The film traces Macao's history and special status from its days as a Portuguese settlement to its prosperity today as China's "Empire of Gambling."
