Macau Casinos - The Venetian Macau

The Venetian Macau is design to shock and awe anyone who visits. The sheer scale of it is unbelievable, and the amount of money that must have been thrown into the project is astounding. The main entrance building is designed like the Doge Palace, and there is even the Rialto Tower, Bridge, etc. It is like the whole of Venice has been shrink-wrapped and brought to Macau. That said, the quality of construction is very good – it doesn’t look and feel like a cheap replica. Most of the main facades are clad in what looked like real stone, and the quality of finish is impressive.


At night the lighting effects are quite spectacular.


As you enter the main lobby, you are suddenly confronted with the St. Peter’s Basilica, and the hallway that leads to the Casino is also modeled after the famous cathedral in Rome. Everything is painted on of course, but the effect can be quite mesmerizing for a while. However, the quality of the interior is no where near that of the exterior.


The Casino has a huge shopping centre attached to it, and this is also modeled after The Venetian in Las Vegas. The internal shopping arcades are designed like Venetian streets complete with water-filled canals. There are even gondolas with gondoliers for hire. There doesn’t seem to be any clear demarcation of the shopping zones, and it can get a bit disorienting as it starts to look the same everywhere.


They employ many entertainers who perform and entertain around the shopping centre dressed in period costume. For me they are the most endearing part of the whole Venetian experience. Nothing beats the warmth of real people.

Macau Casinos - MGM Macau

MGM Macau is another Las Vegas import that is located along Dr. Sun Yat Sen Avenue, the Main street on Macau Peninsula. The shape of the hotel tower is quite unique – kind of like a 3-tiered wedding cake. Each “layer” is clad in different coloured glass, and the wavy façade creates an undulating effect between the layers that is very interesting when viewed close-up. The MGM logo is visible right at the top of the tower, and a huge MGM lion stands guide at one corner of the building. Stanley Ho’s daughter Pansy Ho is a major shareholder together with the MGM Group.


Though the external design is modern, inside is another story. Once you enter the lobby, you are faced with a Classical courtyard modeled after a Portuguese palace. The ornate and elaborate design is a huge contrast to the clean and modern exterior.


The MGM has a collection of sculptures by Salvador Dali. One of these - "Alice in Wonderland" is right outside the main entrance to the building. Another one - "Dalinian Dancer" is in the main lobby. The glass panels behind the reception counter is by Dale Chihuly - the American glass sculptor famous for large scale glass sculptures that hang in many hotel lobbies around the world. There are also many other artworks by renown artists specially commissioned for the Casino. Most of these look a bit out of place in a Casino setting - instead of the jewels they become just the background - unnoticed and unappreciated except by perhaps just a very few.


Unlike some of the other casinos which try to be family-friendly, the MGM is mainly for adults and children are not so welcome. If you are after a kid-friendly place, look elsewhere.
