“This is truly a defining moment for Las Vegas Sands Corp. as our work to open Macao’s first multi-use integrated resort comes to fruition and our vision of creating ‘Asia’s Las Vegas’ comes one step closer to reality,” said Sheldon Adelson, chairman and ceo of LVS.
“As this one-of-a-kind destination resort opens, and our development of the Cotai Strip continues, Macao will begin its transformation into the type of business and tourist destination only dreamt of in the past, and in doing so fulfilling the desire of the government to turn Macao into a premier leisure, entertainment, and meeting and convention destination,” the Vegas casino king added.
The Venetian Macao will be the second largest building in the world and the largest in Asia. It features 3,000 all-suite rooms, 1.2 million square feet of meeting, convention and exhibition space, an 1,800-seat Cirque du Soleil theatre, a 15,000-seat arena, and retail space for 350 stores.
The launch of the Venetian Macao marks the opening of the first property on the Cotai Strip, a master planned development being constructed by LVS intended to recreate the Las Vegas Strip.
While LVS will construct and own each of the Cotai Strip properties, they will be operated by prestigious hotels including Four Seasons, Sheraton, St. Regis, Shangri-La, Traders, Hilton, Conrad, Fairmont and Raffles.
