Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center

This guide to the Macau Tower Convention and Entertainment Center opens with AJ Hackett, the New Zealander who leapt off the Eiffel Tower without authorization in 1987 and turned bungee jumping into a spectacle. It follows how a casino magnate's visit to Auckland led him to hire architect Gordon Moller to raise this 338-meter tower on Macau's southern waterfront, opened in 2001, and traces Hackett's return here nearly two decades later. Stand on the open-air observation deck and you can trace where Macau's Portuguese quarter gives way to its casino towers below.
