A huge, multifunctional hotel with an excellently trained staff. The rooms are outdated of course and require repair, but in general, they are large and provided with everything necessary. There is a food court, but there are practically no normal restaurants with European food. I had to go to Parisian or Londoner.But overall, the rest was amazing!!!

A very, very beautiful shopping gallery. The hotel itself is huge, sometimes pretentious. The rooms are great, the breakfast is great. But... it's noisy. Almost everywhere. As in almost any crowded place in China.

It's an unusual place, I was in a casino for the first time, and if you, like me, under the influence of Hollywood cliches, imagine something like: "women in evening dresses, men in tuxedos, at that table De Niro with whiskey, and at this Al Pacino with a cigar," then no, it's not like that. It's not going to be like that at all. This is a room the size of an Auchan supermarket, in which instead of shop windows there are tables for roulette, poker, various slot machines, one-armed bandits, and a bunch of games unknown to me…
Otherwise, the rules on roulette are probably the same everywhere.
For the atmosphere of Hollywood movies - not here, but to play is the best thing!

The largest hotel in Macau, connected by passages and shopping areas with the hotel areas of Paris and London. There are a lot of people in Venice, the queue for registration can take 30 minutes. But then everything is very convenient, even with luggage you do not need to mess around, everything will be brought directly to the room in 20 minutes after check-in. The rooms are spacious and the furniture is of high quality. An adapter for sockets is required. The breakfasts are extremely average. Made in sets: European, Chinese and vegetarian.

It is expensive and rich. Inside there are many branded shops and a canal with gondolas. For some reason, all roulettes are electronic, there are no physical ones with a bouncing ball.

Macau (otherwise known as Macao), China, is home to the largest casino in the world – Casino Venice (The Venetian), it is 945,000 square meters, 4,000 slot machines, 1,000 tables, a 3,000-room hotel, shops and restaurants are located in the same building.
There are 33 casinos in the city, the best of them are: Venetian, City of Dreams, The Sands Macau, Lisboa, Wynn, MGM Grand, Galaxy Rio Casino. Macau lives off casinos, 70% of its income comes from gambling, which is $30 billion a year. Macau is 5 times ahead of Las Vegas in terms of gambling revenue. Government officials and CCP members are prohibited from visiting casinos, otherwise they will be fired and expelled from the party..
The main visitors to the casino are Chinese from mainland China, there are significantly fewer foreigners.
The casino accepts only yuan, Hong Kong dollars, or pataka (the local currency).
Macau is a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, a former Portuguese colony. The population is over 650 thousand people. The official languages are Portuguese and Chinese (Mandarin dialect, but mainly Cantonese dialect is used). The history of Macau, sometimes very tragic and the return of the city to the bosom of mainland China, I will not describe, it is widely known. It is best to get to Macau from mainland China and Hong Kong, you can use an airplane, helicopter, ferry and motor transport. Usually Macau is visited for a period of one day, this time is enough to walk around the whole city, see the old colonial architecture, modern monuments (including a small copy of the Eiffel Tower), admire the architecture of the city, its canals and fountains. The most important thing is to visit the casino, leave your money there and spend the night in a hotel. I must say that Macau is not the most popular place among Russian tourists, although it is very popular both among the Chinese themselves and among residents of Western countries, so to hear Russian speech there is more an exception than the rule. But it's understandable why – the price tags in this realm of luxury and debauchery more than bite, and besides the casino, our people don't know anything else about this island.
But, strangely enough, there is an opportunity to go there absolutely for free / I haven't tried it myself, but the cunning Chinese have been using it for a long time/.
The main and unavoidable expense item on any trip is a hotel, and the higher the standard of living at the destination, the higher the cost of an overnight stay will be. But it is at the hotel in Macau that there is an opportunity not only to save money, but generally to live there for free for a day. The fact is, some of the hotels periodically hold promotions, and send SMS messages to their guests with a notification that from such and such a date the night will be free. If your Chinese friend is working these days, or is busy with something else and cannot go by himself, he may well share this promo code with you. Free housing is provided. Russians do not need a visa in Macau itself – they can stay there for up to 30 days (who can afford it is a separate question). And do not be surprised that you will not be stamped in your passport, but instead will be given a colored piece of paper in Chinese and English. This is an entry card.. You will need to keep it until you leave the city. From the hotel room you can go down to the casino itself, which is located on the ground floor. No one forces you to play, but every casino has free drinks for every taste, both hot and cold, so you can quench your "thirst" there, but not overdo it, the Chinese police act very harshly. Compared to them, our police officers are some kind of angels. All managers, except Chinese, speak Portuguese and English. If you suddenly decide to show excellent knowledge of Portuguese or Chinese, then there may be unobtrusive problems with another organization - the state security and intelligence agencies of China, they are very suspicious and may incorrectly assess your knowledge of these languages.A Chinese man will unobtrusively come to your aid, completely free of charge "out of a sense of "hospitality" will offer his services as a guide around the city, in this case, it is better not to refuse.This is his job, and the work of others should be respected, especially as guides, they are above all praise. There is virtually no street crime, well, unless drunk tourists fight among themselves. It is believed that the entire gambling business is run by the Chinese triad. There are no visible traces of her in Macau, and they do not ask such questions. When leaving the hotel, you can expect a bonus - if it rains outside, you will be given a free umbrella.
Your hotel will most likely be in New Macau, so head north. After the roundabout there will be a small lake, on the other side of which you can visit the old houses of the Portuguese, and if you climb higher, you will get to a small market that looks more like a European than an Asian one. This is where one of the most pleasant bonuses awaits you – you can eat for free. True, mostly sweets, but very satisfying. There will be a whole bunch of shops selling various types of kozinaks, as well as sweet and spicy dried meat. There is a bowl with probes at the entrance, and you can eat as much as you want. They can also treat you to ice cream, though just a little, lick it on a stick. If you go to Old Macau, you will find the same goodies, as well as admiring the historical part of the city.
Now directly about the casino. If this is your first time there, you can also play for free. Come with your passport to the casino's registration desk, and they will give you a plastic card with 20 patacas on it. Chips, coins, etc. have long been in the past – there are modern casinos, completely electronic. You can make 30 of these 20 paths and leave on time, or you can lose everything to zero. Casinos are everywhere and you can play in every one. If you win, of course, you will not become an oligarch, but it is quite possible to compensate for the cost of noodles.
Here is such a vacation for the average Russian in Portuguese-Cathay Macau / Aomin/. You can visit the city once, the second time (of course, if you are not a player), it will be boring. It is much more interesting to visit mainland China, with its Forbidden City, the Great Wall of China and numerous museums.

The largest casino in the world.
a huge complex combining several large hotels and casinos.
Inside the building there are streets, Venetian canals with gondolas and singing gondoliers, bridges over canals.
All these imitations look not only funny, but also pleasant.
