Some of the most beautiful modern buildings in the world are casinos, or at least casino hotel resort complexes and many are well worth making the effort to visit even if you need to divert your journey in order to do so. If you ever find yourself in or near Macao or Hong Kong, then do take the opportunity to visit the Venetian Macao, which is one of the best casinos to visit in the world. Even if you are not attracted by the magnificent gaming floors, then there are still plenty of alternative attractions to enjoy there.
Not only is the Venetian Macao one of the most beautiful casinos you are likely to come across, it is the world’s largest. When it was built it was the second largest building ever constructed in terms of floor area. It is a world away from the experience of playing on an iphone casino.
The gaming area is divided into four distinct zones, each with its own special character. There have exotic names: Red Dragon, Golden Fish, Phoenix and Imperial House. In total there are around 3,500 slot machines and over 800 gaming tables covering an area of 51,000 square meters. There are also many private gaming rooms in the Paiza club exclusively for the many high stakes players who play there. As Macau is the only place in the Peoples Republic of China, there is no shortage of those.
An artificial canal runs through the centre of the complex. It is designed to emulate a typical Venetian canal, you can even take a boat ride along it in a gondola guided by a genuine Asian gondolier. The banks of the canal are lines with shops of all kinds, including many designer outlets.
If you wish to stay in the hotel, then there are around 3,000 luxury suites of various standards. The most exclusive are the Paiza suites, the Presidential suites have four bedrooms and cover 12 bays.
