Hong Kong-Macau (2)

2 days + in Macau. There were two things which impressed me. The Venetian and the Fisherman Wharf. The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, is one of Asia's most exciting entertainment destination, and nowhere else in Asia will you find such a rare combination of facilities, attractions and amenities. The Venetian is a 40-story, $2.4 billion anchor for the 7 resort hotels. The 3,000 suites, each with more than 70 sqm of space and lavish Italian marble bathrooms take luxury to a new level. is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia and the third-lagest building in the world.

It's also the world's largest casino. Over 350 international shops inside, be dazzled by the street performers, or take a ride on an authentic Venetian gondola, all at the resort. Food service is available any time of the day or night at the bars, lounges, The Venetian from gourmet meals, to noodle bars, to in-suite dining. Leisure activites include swimming pools, the V Spa, V Gym, and the Grado Golf course.

Outside the Venetian Macau Resort Hotel

Inside the Venetian you won't know it's day or night. See the sky above...actually
it's ceiling! The faux sky,with outside air and smells also pumped in, can
take a few seconds to realise you haven’t stumbled outside.
The whole complex has been designed, as with its sister complex
in Vegas, in the image of Venice.

Inside the Venetian u can see a system of canals,which, amazingly, have been built into the second floor! All kind of stones...from one of the shop
All the buildings in Macau with colourful lights are Casino Casino -- Grand Lisboa

There are casino all around Macau. People said this is the best place for gambler. But for those who like shopping, it's the best shopping heaven. For me, the Fisherman Wharf and The Venetian already worth for the trip. And there are lot of tasty n delicious foods. Always search for AirAsia promotions. If u book the flight early, you may get very cheap tickets. You can also find a room or cheap motel from RM40-RM100 per night. The whole Hong Kong-Macau trip including everthing only costs me RM800+.
