Studio City Macau

This guide to Studio City Macau starts by looking up at the Golden Reel, the world's first figure-eight ferris wheel, suspended between the resort's twin Art Deco towers. It follows the invented mythology behind that shape — twin asteroids said to have carved rings of fire through the towers — and the man who commissioned it, Lawrence Ho, son of Macau's longtime gaming monopolist Stanley Ho. Seventeen steampunk-themed cabins carry passengers around the loop, each one holding up to ten people.
