The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel has become one of
the biggest landmarks for gamblers throughout Asia.
Controlled by Sheldon Adelson’s Las Vegas Sands (LVS),
the Venetian was the first giant casino to open on Ma-
cao’s Cotai Strip, an area of reclaimed land offshore from
downtown Macao. A stroll around the resort gives you a
glance of luxury—and a somewhat weird combina-
tion of facilities, attractions, and amenities
such as Cirque du Soleil’s Zaia show.

Macao, China
Square feet: 420,000

Recently opened City
of Dreams is a $2.1 bil-
lion gamble by Melco
Crown Entertainment’s
Lawrence Ho and Aus-
tralian billionaire James
Packer. The resort, lo-
cated across the street
from the Venetian
on the Cotai Strip,
faces tough odds as
Macao gaming rev-
enues have been hit
hard by the global
economic crisis.
