The figures of the Venetian Macau, brother of the famous Venetian Las Vegas launched by the hotel casino chain Las Vegas Sands, have what it takes to make one spin.

Moreover, the concept of the complex itself is in the purest Las Vegas spirit: pharaonic reconstruction of Venice, with life-size canals and gondoliers... but it is only a beginning. Sheldon Adelson, the visionary billionaire behind the project, plans to make Cotai Strip a hotel mega-zone. The company Las Vegas Sands plans to invest 12 billion more dollars to add 20,000 new rooms within the perimeter by 2010.The figures of the Venetian Macau, brother of the famous Venetian Las Vegas launched by the hotel casino chain Las Vegas Sands, have what it takes to make one spin.
