Macau

The new Hotel Venetian in Macau www.venetian.com
-Having opened in September 07, I was exited to be one of the first through the door. This massive 3000 bedroom hotel is a mini city with 300 stores from Tiffanys to the sock shop. Its gaudy but fabulous in a over the top way. It currently has 10.000 staff and they are looking for 5.000 more! Its the biggest casino in the world. It has a mix of high-end rollers and Chinese day triperes from the main land, complete with their plastic bags of food. Its actually quit funny to visit a Saint Mark's square complete with gondolas in China! Roka and Canton are the best restaurants for dinner, just off the gaming floor.



Being a portuguese, I found it fascinating to still see in Macau some portuguese architecture, cafes and old taxi driveres that still speak portuguese and draw their pension out of my governmente!
