The Venetian is always an incredible place to visit, both in Las Vegas and in Macao.

Venetian Style
After watching gambling in the Casino, you can walk around to enjoy the beautiful scenes of Venice. It is really worth a visit to see the characteristics of Venice replicated in a casino.

The ceiling is painted blue, which looks like the sky and every now and then a light mist of water would be sprayed on you like rain, and you felt even more like you were outside on a European shopping street.
Even the Gondola boats in Venetian canals can be seen in the Casino, and you can take a boat in the middle of the shopping area. The canals and gonadal rides were very pretty with bridges going over to the other sides. The outside entrance is like a big Catholic Church.
