The Venentian - heaven on earth

Outside of the Venetian - only 1 year old

...or as Dad sums it up - the most palatial place we have ever stayed at!

As Dad was coming I thought this the perfect excuse to escape the country overnight and head to Macau - we even had to clear customs AND I got a stamp in my passport!

Friends and colleagues had all raved about the Venetian and told me we would be blown away, and because we could also get a fantastic package that included Cirque Du Soliel - Zaia, we were off!

We headed over in style on the Cotai Strip Jet - which drops us off at the Taipo Jetty (a small island off Macau) and arrived in a little over an hour to be greeted by a free Shuttle to the Venetian.


As Dad had just been to Venice it was amazing - he recognised everything they had on the outside of building - including a mini version of some famous building - that shows my dead beat knowledge of Europe!

Every ceiling was painted with amazing things and every light fixture was different and even more amazing than the next!

Main entrance hall


On the third floor, it even had shops that lined a canal that ran around the whole floor and had Gondola's in them. Unfortunately time was short and we didn't manage to catch a ride!

Shops along side the Canal


It is the world's largest casino so on top of the 3000 rooms, 20,000 staff (and that does not include the restaurant and shop staff) it had amazing games. Most we had never heard of, but as this is the money pit of Asia, we decided to stick to the pokies - without much luck! Oh well!

Comfortable beds

Lounge Area

Bathroom with 2 sinks!

Split level


Our room was stunning - up high with a view and on split levels. Both beds were queens with drapery and the the bathroom had a bath tub, seperate shower, 2 sinks, a seperate dressing table and a toilet, which room was the size of my HK apartment! It even had 2 massive flat screen TV's. One in the lounge and one on the bedroom level, hidden away in the cupboard!

The next day you could actually see that their was a wind farm on the hill! It's 'fog', I swear!


However, there was not much time for TV - we were off to explore Macau!!!!
