visa's available at immigration. no problem
A few years back, the usual way to get to Macau was to fly into Hong Kong and take the ferry across to Macau (see next section). Today, Macau is becoming a low-cost airline hub, so one might fly to Macau to reach Hong Kong.

For most passports, you do not need to get a Macau visa in advance. 30-day tourist visas are routinely issued at all border crossing points.

[edit] By boat
Ferries from Hong Kong arrive 24 hours a day (every 15-30 minutes by day and every hour at night) at Macau Maritime Ferry Terminal on the Outer Harbour beside the Sands Casino. The cheapest one-way ticket from Hong Kong is HK$141, and the trip takes one hour.

If you arrive at that terminal, pick up a free bus schedule in the tourist information centre in the terminal building. There is a bus stop on the main road to the right as you walk out of the building. Buses 10 and 10A are among the most convenient for day tourists because the route passes by Senado Square, which is where most of the major tourist attractions are. Fares on the peninsula are MOP2.50. Many hotels offer free shuttles between the ferry terminal and the hotel.

The other less known ferry terminal is located at Pier No. 14 on the Inner Harbour and it is nearer to central Macau. From that terminal, cross the main road and turn left. Take the first right turn on a major road, after about 5 minutes walk. Walk uphill along this road to reach Largo do Senado. The whole walk is under 20 minutes.

[edit] By air
Macau International Airport (MFM) is off the shore of Taipa Island. Because of its low fees, it has been able to attract several low-cost airlines to serve Macau (whereas not a single one flies to neighbouring Hong Kong). Currently available are:

AirAsia: multiple flights daily from Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur
Cebu Pacific Air: has daily flights from Manila.
Tiger Airways: daily flights from Singapore and Clark Airbase, two hours north of Manila
Viva Macau: to take up service shortly, with flights from Jakarta and Male
Other airlines such as Air Macau and Shanghai Air also have flights to Macau.

To reach Taiwan from mainland China, it is usual to fly via either Macau or Hong Kong, since (except for some charters at Chinese holidays) there are no direct flights.

To and from the airport: Bus AP1 plies a route between the airport and the Barrier Gate. Its route passes through several points on Taipa Island, then passes Macau Tower, Hotel Lisboa, the Macau Art Museum, the Sands and the Ferry Terminal on the way. It costs MOP3.30.

If you are bound for Zhuhai, there is a special bus you can take from Macau airport direct to the border, without going through Macau Customs or Immigration. See the Zhuhai article for details.

A US citizen does not need a visa to visit the Philippines. Upon entrance to the Phils you are automatically given 21 days including the date you enter and the date you leave. Cost of obtaining additional time is affordable as well, but with the process of doing so in Manila I reccommend if you'll stay longer then 3 weeks to obtain a tourist visa before leaving the US from the Philippine consulate office, there are several here in the States including Los Angeles and Miami.

nope you won't need any visa, unless you plan to go to China which is a walk away from the border of Macau.

if you are a US citizen then you will not need a visa to enter Macau.
