This article is about the casino in Macau. For the casino in Portugal see Casino Lisboa, Portugal.

Casino Lisboa (Chinese: 葡京娛樂場) is one of the most famous casinos in Macau, People's Republic of China.

The casino is owned by the Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau, a Stanley Ho company. This three-storey complex was built in late 1960s. Since then Macau has been known as the "Monte Carlo of the Orient"^{[citation needed]}.

The original casino and 12-storey round hotel tower were built in 1970 by Stanley Ho, Teddy Yip, Yip Hon and Henry Fok. A 270-room extension was added in 1991 for a total of 927 rooms. As of 2006, yet another extension, the Grand Lisboa, is being built next to the current complex. This expansion is being done partly in competition with the newly opened Wynn Macau, located right next to the original Casino Lisboa.
