Macao Will Get A Playboy Mansion
China's Las Vegas, Macao has taken another step toward luring tourists to the playtime destination. The Playboy Mansion Macao will be a 40,000 square-foot entertainment destination that will include a Hugh M. Hefner Villa for overnight stays. The Macao Mansion will be a part of the Macao Studio City complex and will pay homage to Hef's legendary Holmby Hills home. There is even a contemporary interpretation of the Playboy pool and the infamous grotto. And yes, there will be bunnies. It seems that the Playboy clubs, which were phased out back in the early 1990s are back in a new form with both this location and the Playboy Club at the Palms. The Mansion should open in late 2009. As, the Guardian notes, Playboy magazine itself is banned in China so this might be more of a draw for the international crowd.

Playboy is banned in China, but it's not banned in Macau. Macau is a Special Administrative Region of China, like Hong Kong, with it's own laws.

Macau is like a dirty Vegas. From what I can tell, the Playboy mansion would need to be pretty much a brothel to really get noticed in Macau....
