Your site looks great! I found your blog via Google while searching for mgm grand hotel and your post regarding Venetian Macao-Hotel-Resort on Macau’s Cotai Strip | Macau.com looks very interesting to me. I have seen many other so-called sites and they have been far from good quality.Your site has all the key ingredients to pulling in visitors.

How everything changes in a year. Was in Venetian for 5th time last week, and caught some gossip from the dealers. Apparently over 140 international (basically Filipinas) supervisors and pit bosses had been let go due to a lack of biz. Though huge the place is far too smoky, far to low class (too many mainland hookers doing the rounds and Triads offering to lend you money). Reminds me of the bad old days at Lisboa, whatever happened to the original plan? When the Sands started all these lowlifes were driven out. Wynn is far classier for medium rollers like me. The way things are going you’ll be able to get in Paiza with a couple hundred grand soon.

@Kristina West - Good question. I don’t know off the top of my head, but the other night I was at OTT having a Kilkenny with the Cirque du Soleil crew and we were talking about that exact topic. Cirque is involved in a bunch of social good projects and my understanding is that they’re going to try and do some cool things in Macau. The only energy fact I know about Venetian is that they have generators that can power 300,000 homes. Learned that fact at the Grand Opening media event. Another related fact… Many people complain that it’s too cold inside the Venetian. Really if you plan to be there any length of time then you need a sweater. Chilly.

Do you have any information about the carbon footprint of the Venetian. I would be interested to see if they built it using energy efficient technology,

Many Thanks for any info;)

the venetian is doing incredibly well compared to other casinos. i spent a couple of weeks in macau recently and from a gaming perspective the venetian wins hands down! crown casino was empty although the food was great. my view is the position/location is the problem. i would be a very worried shareholder in melcopbl. adelson is a smart operater and his model will ensure he is the dominant player in macau. mgm wynn and grand lisboa will suffer(or always play catch up) as the main attraction will be the cotai strip from 2012 onwards.

there should be a MACAU ETF!

I have been to the Venetion on 5 seperate occasions as my wife works in retail there and if I am not working I pick her up.
On my first visit I was amazed by the size of the place and the whole setup. The casino and shopping areas are both very impressive but I wonder if it could be too big.
There is nothing worse than walking into a casino and seeing row upon row of closed tables and empty slot machines. As a place to gamble it totally lacks any form of atmoshere and dont worry about the heat wave outside, bring a coat because you are going to freeze inside.
The Venetian have been quoting some incredible numbers of visitors but from what I have seen these are only sightseers and not punters.
I think the shops will do well as Macau really needs a good shopping centre and people will travel down there to shop but I dont think people will bother with all the drama trying to get there only to gamble.The shuttle busses are alright but catch a local bus and you have a 20 minute walk from the bus stop and depending on which bridge they take a taxi can cost up to $70. Its a lot easier to just stay on the “Macau Strip” where you have a choice of 6 or 7 casino within a 5 minute walk of each other.
Wynn said he would wait and see how the Venetian went before he opened another property and I think that will be a long time to come.
