Limited time in Macau
Wow, you have a busy schedule. I doubt you can complete all of that on schedule. A few comments:
1. It will probably take at least 30 minutes to get through immigration and another 30 to get to the hotel. I wouldn%26#39;t count on being able to have dinner in time for the show at Wynn.
2. Having dinner AND a show before 9pm on the second day would also be pushing it. Fishermans%26#39; wharf doesn%26#39;t have much to see. You can easily miss it. The Venetian will take about 40-60 minutes in travelling (both ways) - also missable in such a short time frame (unless you go there on Day 1 instead of Wynn).
3. Cab will be the quickest way to the Portas de Cerco/Gong Bei border crossing. It should only cost 50-60 MoP.
Limited time in Macau
I agree with Zhuhai2007%26#39;s comments about the heavy evening schedules, and also about missing Fishermen%26#39;s Wharf (unless you are interested in high-end shopping in shops of various European architectural styles).
If the weather is clear, by all means go up Macau Tower, but if there%26#39;s fog or low cloud there will be no view whatever.
Areia Preta is not so easy to find your way around with limited time - I suggest you ask the local front desk staff at your hotel where to find a good bowl of the pig liver congee - Macau people are passionate about food, so you might even start an argument ;-) - then they can either direct you to their recommended place or write the name for a taxi driver (if you don%26#39;t speak Mandarin).
I think the Emperor Hotel has its own shuttle bus running to the Cerco-Gongbei checkpoint, but of course check with them.
There are still quite a few places to visit in Macau, so if you enjoy this time here you can start planning your second trip!
