Your Biggest Playing Field - In the World!

Did you know that The Venetian Casino & Hotel is actually the largest land-based casino in the world? It’s true! And once you get a glimpse of what goes on there, you won’t be surprised with this fact. The Venetian is one of the most stunning buildings in the world, an opinion held by many, and in combination with the experience you’ll have here, there may not be any place more ‘Las Vegas’ than here - even if it is in China, on the other side of the world.

The Venetian is actually owned by the Las Vegas Sands corporation, and not only is it the largest casino in the world, but it is also the largest building in all of Asia, and the fifth largest building in the entire world (at 10.5 million square feet!). Based on these stats, alone, you can just imagine only the ‘best of the best’ go to play here. It’s surely nothing short of magnificent. It may appear that this grandeur place has existed for many years, but in reality, it was opened in the year 2007. From the day it opened, many flocked here to see one of the globe’s largest buildings - They reached their 8 millionth visitor in a mere 133 days after opening! While there surely are many activities you can enjoy here, we are most interested in the casino, also one of Asia’s largest gaming floors.

Stepping into The Venetian Casino may take some prior planning - the gaming floor is so large, they divide it into four different areas for eager players to wander through. Naturally, a casino with such a high status would name the four gaming areas, right? Exactly. Going by the names of Red Dragon, Phoenix, Golden Fish and Imperial House, you’ll find yourself on an (almost) endless expedition, exploring every corner, if you’ve got the energy (and nothing like a big win to keep you energized!). Perhaps it goes without saying, but The Venetian has a more than impressive amount of games to play. With over 3,400 slot games and 8,000 tables, there’s simply no chance you’ll ever be bored, rather the opposite, you won’t want to leave! High ceilings, bright lights, incredible architecture; you may have to take a moment to breathe it all in, before you start the game (recommended!). Understandably, visiting Macao may not be the first priority on your ‘To Do’ list, so if you’re after a few thrilling rounds of game play, whether it be slots or table games, you can always visit your ‘Virtual Vegas’ for a bonus treat (Oh look, you’re already here!).

This 40-storey masterpiece of a building attracts the rich and famous from far and wide, so if you ever have the chance to visit, you’ll want to keep your eye out for celebrities - there’s most certainly some of them lurking the game grounds! If you, for some reason, want to find some game entertainment away from the slot machines, The Venetian also has a 15,000 seat arena for sporting events. Can it get any better than this?! Keep reading, and you can answer that one for yourself!
