A wondrous place........Venetian, Macau

Venetian............Macau...........

Do I need say more?!?


These 2 words make countless peeps drool.......oops, excuse me, dream.....

We were very, very fortunate enough (no small thanks to dato and datin seri) to savour a taste of this "experience" and blimey, no matter how sick I was (I was struck by a pesky gastro-intestinal bug), I made it a point to join Jess and Laetitia to visit this fabled place......and furthermore, Christmas weekend......what a marvellous way to celebrate Xmas this year...

Yes, if you object to this kinda extravaganza due to some moral objections, I wouldn't blame you for that.......as this place is kinda like a Sodom & Gomorra place in the Far East.....I don't think that the Holy Lord would approve of this place either, be it Xmas or not..........

All walks of low life scum roam this place, people (men and women alike) preying on your money, but foremost it's the gambling tables which make this world turn non-stop for 24 hours/7days a week/365 days a year.........

As the Venetian is constructed as a rather open concept, even kids get a glimpse of what's happening at the gaming tables, giving them a taste to come when they grow up.......shrewd, very shrewd of them, the creators of this place........

Casino aside, there is plenty else to look out for at this place, a rather bigger copy of the Las Vegas Venetian, it mimicks the city of Venice, Italy regarding design concept including its own copy of Michelangelo's ceiling painting of the Sixtine Chapel......and suffice to say that it is a smashing success, attracting the crowds in huge droves.......

It even comes with its own man-made canals and gondola's (more of that in the next blog entry).....shopping stores aplenty ranging from medium priced to ultra high end, the daily total amount of food served can nurture a city on its own........

2 days weren't enough for us to check this place out as it is so huge.......

We leave this casino/theme park/entertainment resort positively bewildered, amazed not dazed, but above all.....with swollen feet from trodding up and down the cobbled streets of Venice....oops, sorry, Venetian :p
