Casino Lisboa is one of the oldest and most famous casinos in Macau. It is located along Avenida de Lisboa, across the road from the Grand Lisboa.

Casino Lisboa belongs to Sociedade de Turismo e Diversões de Macau (STDM), the company owned by Hong Kong - Macau tycoon, Stanley Ho Hung-sun. For 40 years, Stanley Ho holds the government-granted monopoly to run the gambling industry in the former Portuguese colony. He is one of the wealthiest man in Asia, with an estimated net worth of US$1 billion.

The original Casino Lisboa, which includes a 12-storey round tower, was built in 1970. A 270-room annex was added to it in 1991, bringing total room to 927. Another extension in 2006 created the Grand Lisboa across the road.

Located next to Casino Lisboa is Wyn Macau, a newly opened casino in competition with it.
