VIP Comps
(Last updated: July 28, 2026)
Throughout 2025, Macau witnessed satellite casino after satellite casino close. Along with them went the easily attainable VIP comps that recreational gamblers had enjoyed for years.
That $30,000 buy-in for a hotel room?
Gone.
How about the casino helping me get a room for just $600?
Nah.
F&B, transportation and other rewards?
Dead, dead and Dillinger dead.
As of July 2026, the only comp that might still be going is a $65,000 buy in for a Lisboa room, on weekdays.
Now why not try a fun Gambling Quiz? Â
How do you go about getting a free room? Say I buy in at Grand Dragon for HK$30,000; then what? Do I need to turn over HK$30,000?
If you get chips you can’t turn in for cash, then I don’t think you’d have to turn it over.
I don’t think the Grand Dragon has room buy ins anymore though. Post-Covid, many casinos scrapped them, and I seriously need to update this page. I think i saw $30,000 rooms still available at Casa Real when last there in the summer, though.
Hi Maven,
Greatly appreciate if you can update the latest buy-in for hotels in Macau.
looking forward for the trip there.
I was planning to sweep the casinos again in April or May and update all of these numbers. The most current info I have is from July 2023, when only 3 casinos had buy ins related to free rooms. They were:
Casa Real: $30,000 (Sunday to Thursday) and $40,000 (Friday and Saturday).
Legend Palace: $30,000 + $200
Lisboa: $55,000
I’d try Legend Palace first as it has the far superior rooms to the Casa Real.
Thanks for the update! Greatly
Besides Lisboa, is there any other casinos that provide buy in room?
If anyone does, it’d be Oceanus and you’d stay at Jai Alai, which you probably don’t want to do. I just swept the casinos and didn’t see it advertised anywhere.
Ok, thank you so much sir.
