Good to know

The best time to visit Macau is November through April, when visitors experience far less precipitation, smaller crowds, and less humidity.  February represents the least crowded time of the year should you want the entire place nearly to yourself.  And, as the shoulder seasons, October and May provide rather nice weather, which draws tourists, gamblers, and partiers from around the world.  July through September represents the typhoon season.  And yet, September is the busiest month of the year.  In August, during the height of typhoon season, Macau receives the 2nd least amount of footfall when compared to every other month.  However, if you plan on hitting the tables or playing the slots for the entirety of your Macau visit, then you should know that you can save quite a bit on hotel rooms, airfare, and even food if you visit during February or August.
