The Venetian Macau

I can’t remember exactly how much time I have spent in Venetian. The fact is Venetian itself is a tourist spot. Apparently it is the exact replica of the Venetian in Vegas. It boost the largest casino in Macau (at the point I was there), it most probably is the largest shopping mall in Macau (1million sq feet). Doesn’t matter what you wanna eat, you can find it there. Did I mentioned that we need a map to find our suite and to walkabout in Venetian or else we could just get lost?


The Grand Canal Shoppes, holds over 300 stores from medium to finest brand names


Living Statue


Gondoliers who actually sing very well


Food court. Look at the skyline, its not actually sky but mural drawn on the ceiling. But the effect is superb.


Wondering if Venice looks like this? Maybe this is better, eh?




Now, just to show how beautiful and grand The Venetian Macao is.


A centre court foyer where the casino is situated at the ground floor. No photography is allowed in the casino though.



The entrance to the lobby.

One of the main walkway connecting the shopping area to the hotel. The ceiling effect is just so dramatic and grand.


A beautiful sculpture at the reception area


I didn't get a chance to take a picture of the hotel during day time but this is a shot of it at night from afar. Simply magnificient.




Apart from staying and gambling in The Venetian, actually there is a lot more things to do. For example shopping for shopaholic like me. Or you can catch the Cirque de Soleil ZAIA show at the theatre that was purpose build for them. I could have done that but we can't drag along my 4-year old son, so we gotta passed. What a pity.
