Hotel VenetianThe Venetian in Macau is one of the hotels that I had promised to visit as soon as possible. In Vegas I was there in Venetian, which rather resembles a reply to Macau, but it certainly can not say that Sheldon Adelson is outnumbered them. The hotel is worth 1.8 billion dollars and is yet another blow in the eternal struggle of the titans Casino – Wynn and Adelson. Naturally, I watched the clip on the Discovery of the grand hotel and knew what to expect. However, a few hours in this place are unforgettable – I feel like Alice in Wonderland, but in a fairy tale for adults. The dramatic scenery, scale, refined atmosphere, the air saturated with adrenaline, luxury shops – full of people like shopping for last and certainly exotic in Asia – all collected under one roof. Since I had not looked at the hotel, I’d rather it designated the mall as part of a hotel than a hotel with a shopping center. This is not a compliment, but rather a fact that begins to irritate after you pass the initial euphoria. Start that the days never know is it was night there – it is warm or there is a storm outside. Another risk in this type of accommodation is the presence of crowds of tourists who are not hotel guests, but merely looked to have come – not bad, but crowds in Macau word acquires another meaning. Another feature that amazed me is the presence of so food court – an area for a quick breakfast, which is usually located on the highest floors of shopping centers.
I guess it’s a necessary measure to cope with the flows of people, but somehow I do not make any sense with 5 stars feel. The artificial channel with gondolas also stands somewhat grotesque, and there are not many who want to enjoy such a walk. English for the staff there is no need to mention – their expertise extends to learned phrases and understanding eyes, but do not forget that this is a hotel with the best English speaking staff in Macau, according to a U.S. magazine. From the positive side, I can not mention the unique variety of restaurants, described in a series of posts, because everyone deserves separate attention. The huge theater for Cirque du Soleil in 1800, the endless casino, which is so huge that you have a feeling that every time you play a different location. I managed to make a secret picture of the casino, then immediately came officer of the guards asked me to delete it. The actual casino is full stop and can safely say that playing a lot more than in Las Vegas, Asians are just crazy on this topic. Popular and are a different type of games – emphasis on dice and wheels of fortune. International media like the comparison of the two capitals of gambling, and identical hotels of Adelson and often commented on how in Vegas almost 60% of revenues are normal activities such as restaurants, spas, shows, while the Venetian in Macau are only 10%.
In the Venetian Macao find anything that can think in the former Portuguese colony. Looking after two days in Hong Kong and Macao still so famous in respective specialty – egg tartan, I found precisely in the Venetian – in Hong Kong and Macau for a typical shop. Definitely this is one of the most delicious desserts I have ever tried – something like a cream puff in caramel basket. The hotel offers only suit, and the smallest is 70 square meters We stayed in the Royale Suite, which despite the name is the lowest grade. Spacious luxuriously furnished in classic style. The room is divided into two areas – for sleeping and a small living room. You can tell that they are not cutting corners. The bathroom is also quite large and luxurious. The shops are numerous price range. With a wide variety of premium brand can be found in the shopping arcade of the Four Seasons, which is glued to the Venetian. Exterior of the hotel are magnificent. Pools are enormous, surrounded by palm trees. Typical of Asians who value privacy and whiteness of their skins, there are separate spaces where to hide from the sun or the eyes of others. The greenery is fascinating and makes you forget that everything is built by man, but the natural scenery is far, far away … There are smaller pools suitable for privacy. Probably forget much fun – Zaia magic of Cirque du Soleil, children’s playground, simulator Manchester United, daily dance performances, divine baths – all in care for your enjoyment.
