They were the Party Poker organisers who made the Macau Asian Poker Tour a marvellous once in a life time experience I’ll always be grateful for. My husband won an online poker game that gained him free ante entry into the APT, free accommodation, and spending money which paid for his air fare. He was permitted to bring a guest, so woohoo, lucky me! The Starworld hotel was a wonder to behold with the most polite and courteous staff I’ve ever seen. Jason was the Asian party poker rep, so he did his homework well and found us one of the most luxurious hotels I’ve ever stayed in. Macau was sweltering so the air conditioned and spotlessly clean rooms were very welcome. The swimming pool and Jacuzzi were also heaven sent in this formidably hot weather. I especially loved the Bubble at the Hardrock Café. It was a 3D Imax type of experience where dragons, mermaids, and other mythical creatures surrounded you within the bubble. I was captivated by its magic in almost child like wonder. Jason the wonder boy also found this gorgeous Portuguese restaurant which I shall fantasize about for many years to come. The clam soup and the buttered, garlic prawn (which I mistook for a small lobster. It was so huge!) were to die for! Imagine hot, crusty soft rolls dipped into these culinary masterpieces, and you’d be right in believing that the recipe to manna from heaven had been located. There were other dishes that were just as good, but these two were my favourite. We received VIP tickets from Party Poker to the Presidential Suite on the 39th floor of the hotel. A special after party was thrown for a select few of the APT players. We were met by white and gold clad staff who made me feel as if I were visiting royalty. Lingerie clad, gorgeous girls were there and photo shoots were taking place. Bar service where any and every drink you can imagine were on tap. Endless nibbles were provided. High roller tables for poker and other games were situated in another room, if that was your inclination. I’ve never been to such a party before and it’s great to see how the other half live now and again. Why am I bothering to write this? Hubby didn’t come anywhere in the Asian Poker Tour. But we got to visit a beautiful country and its people. We experienced so many great things. All this was made possible by Party Poker. I needed them to know my thanks were sincere and I come away from this trip feeling that I was just as lucky as the APT winner. To Whom It May Concern….Jeremy, Sinead and Justin deserve a raise for being fantastic Party Poker Reps!!! Thanks once again ... Sue Andrew My sincere thanks to Jeremy, Sinead and Jason.
