Grand Lisboa, owned by Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau and designed by Hong Kong architects Dennis Lau and Ng Chun Man, is a 58-floor 261 metres (856 ft) tall hotel in Macau. The casino and restaurants within Grand Lisboa were opened on February 11, 2007, while the hotel was opened in December 2008. The casino offers 268 mass gaming tables and 786 slot machines. The hotel contains 430 hotel rooms and suites. The casino is the first in Macau to offer Texas hold ‘em poker ring games. It was also the first to offer craps, though several other casinos in Macau now offer the game.

The Star of Stanley Ho is on permanent display at the Casino Grand Lisboa. According to the Gemological Institute of America, the 218.08 carats (43.62 g) diamond is the largest cushion shaped internally flawless D-color diamond in the world. In his unveiling speech, Dr. Ho said that the diamond, which is named after him, reflects SJM’s timeless commitment to Macau.
