MACAU 澳门 ~ Part II

After our trip to the Senado Square and the Ruins of St. Paul's, we proceed to The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel which is located at the Cotai Strip 路氹. We took the free shuttle bus service by The Venetian which run to the ferry wharf and the border gate frequently from early until late.

The sky turned cloudy and started to drizzle.
We were on the road to the Cotai Strip ~ a reclaimed land and has been developing its casino, entertainment and tourism businesses.

During our bus journey, we saw the prestigious City of Dreams 新濠天地 (Grand Hyatt Macau, Hard Rock Macau, Crown Towers Hotels and a luxury apartment which is planned at a later phase of development)

City of Dreams resort consist of 4 hotel/apartment towers, over 20 dining venues provide guests with regional and international dining experiences, a 2 level retail space, a theatre, stylish nightclubs, a giant silver dome, and a spacious casino with 550 gaming tables and 1,500 slot machines. Here I took a shot of The Crown Tower Hotels.

The beautiful Venetian has 3,000 suites, large convention, retail,
entertainment and casino spaces.

Finally we were here and I could not wait to see inside

Wow ~ Awesome! I love the paintings on the ceiling

and the interior design which is Venice themed.

Its casino with more than 3,400 slot machines and over 800 gambling tables.

The mall is huge and will eventually have 350 stores.

More nice views of the malls

There are Gondola rides at 3 canals of which 2 are indoors.

KAWAII ~ Hello Kitty Bag (decorated with Swarovski Crystals) from Anteprima

This is the famous Portuguese egg tarts from Lord Stow's Bakery. Thumbs up! The buttery flaky pastry and custard filling is rich and delicious. I definitely can eat more than 2 pieces and have a cup of hot tea or latte to go along will be perfectly good!


So that's the end of 1-week Hong Kong and Macau trip

Note: I got the information from Wikipedia & Ola Macau Guide.
