Macau just snagged the title of the world’s Five-Star hotel capital — for the third year running.

Known as the "Las Vegas of Asia," Macau has quickly yet quietly become "the world’s most lucrative gambling destination," writes the New York Times. Set on the south coast of China, Macau is the only place in China where gambling is legal and also offers a blend of Portuguese and Chinese cultures, luxe resorts and a spot as a UNESCO World Heritage site, making it ideal for both high rollers and adventure seekers.

Drawing the likes of big American casinos like Wynn and Sands, it's no surprise why Forbes gave it the Five-Star title once again. One look at the over-the-top stays, Michelin-starred meals and designer everything, and it’s obvious.
