Chinese gambling mecca (5)

I believe the answer is:

macau

(Other definitions for macau that I've seen before include "somewhere in China" , "Small peninsula in China, a Portuguese territory until 1999" , "Part of China" , "region of China" , "SW of 24 [SHANGHAI]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday, the L.A. Times Daily, The Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.
