原來我真係錯左...唔係要排隊拎食野...對唔住!!真係我攪錯左!!! 
因為, 當時我識既人好勞氣咁話... "it's a mess, have to queue for an hour, no seats, no one serves you any food, but it's a blacktie event! so xxxxxx couldn't be bordered to wait for the food and left before the show..." 而另一個人就咁講 "well, not even EH was served, why others?"
所以, 我以為佢係講『無人serve要排隊等野食, 就算長官高官都一樣無面俾, 我識果d鬼佬高層個個著住踢死兔, 唔肯等野食, 所以好多人都唔睇個show就走人!』原來真係我誤解左...
我都係唔多講喇... 你地自己睇下今日destination macau點講喇...

Jewels missing at Crown
Nearly a week after the opening of the Crown Macau, it is still the talk of the town. Almost every conversation we are having with people in the leisure and hospitality industry is prefaced by, “Hey, were you at the Crown opening?”
None are saying this to be kind. It was indeed a night to remember, for everything that didn’t go right.
Perhaps the most biting criticism so far has been from investment bank JP Morgan, which titled its post-opening report, “Crown Missing a Few Jewels”.
A more common tongue-in-cheek refrain has been, “I had no idea until now what a six-star experience was like. It was quite something.”
Then there are the jokes doing the rounds: “How many electricians does it take to screw in a light bulb at the Crown? Obviously, one too few.”
They are all referring to what can most kindly be described as a series of unfortunate events last Saturday, May 12, as the Crown Macau had its opening ceremony on Taipa island.
To say that the event was the most-hyped of any in the “New Macau’s” short history would be an understatement. Hong Kong actor Chow Yun-fat was reportedly paid US$3 million to appear in a massive pre-opening media campaign, the cornerstone of which was a television commercial that also went out via websites. A press release sent out by the PR company handling the event billed it as the “Party of the Year.” Rumors swirled through local media that Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Kylie Minogue and Tom Cruise were scheduled to appear. Slogans such as “Where great things happen,” and “The six-star experience” were emblazoned across newspapers and billboards in Hong Kong, Macau and China – or at least they were, until mainland censors stepped in.
The reality of what unfolded on the day was, to judge by most reactions, a big disappointment.
For a start, many members of the media were fuming within an hour of registration, when it became apparent they were not going to be allowed inside the new property. Instead, they were fenced into an enclosure in front of the building while members of the public were let in through the front doors in small groups.
But that was nothing compared to the frustration of the VIPs inside the big tent nearby, where the gala dinner was being held.
At the registration desk, sweat was rolling down the faces of people waiting in line. “We’ve been standing here forever because they can’t find our seats,” said one angry guest, dressed in a tuxedo. “They asked me, ‘Who invited you?’ and I didn’t know what to say other than, “You did!”
Apparently, even the most senior of Macau officials were asked that question.
Soon afterwards, attention shifted to a man submerging himself in a tube full of water. It was all a part of the DRAGONE act. A VIP standing nearby said, “We’ve come up with two theories about him: it’s either a gambler who lost his shirt or the marketing guy at Crown who’s now drowning in his sorrows.”
Inside the tent, hundreds of people were still helplessly trying to locate their seats at around 9:00 p.m., when an executive climbed on stage said: “Please sit down. If you cannot find your seat, just sit down anywhere, we would like to get the evening started.”
The first dish was sashimi, which was quickly devoured. Chow Yun-fat, Lawrence Ho and James Packer got up on stage to say a few more words about the six-star experience, to which the crowd applauded.
Then another hour passed by, waiting for food to arrive. People were fanning themselves with the gorgeous menus. Several dishes arrived all at once and were plopped in the middle of the table for each person to help themselves. There were no serving spoons, just a pair of chopsticks.
At last, it was the moment we were all waiting for – we had been promised a spectacular performance from DRAGONE – and the Crown delivered.
Sadly, by this time, nearly half the guests had already gone.
Lawrence Ho personally apologized to a number of guests at the end of the evening for what had happened.
Just about every senior hotel and casino executive in the room must have empathized with him. It is not an easy thing to open a new property in Macau, and is becoming harder all the time due to a tightening labor market.
Then again, no one else had promised to deliver a “six-star experience”.
睇完下面篇報導先知... 原來係話... 『淨係入場已經要排一個鐘, 又搵唔到個位係邊, 到食飯... 上完一道菜之後... 要等一個鐘先再有得食... 終於好多人唔等睇show就走左...』我之前一直都以為只係食物安排差咋... 對唔住!!!
