One way to spell an Asian gambling center (5)

I believe the answer is:

macau

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

I've seen this clue in the Universal.
