One of the highlights of the Venetian Macao is the replica of the Grand Canal in Venice, including a replica of St. Mark's Square and the Rialto Bridge. Visitors can take gondola rides to the accompaniment of Italian opera singing. The Canadian circus troupe Cirque du Soleil is planning to open a residency show at the Venetian Macao in the spring of 2008.

American billionaire Sheldon Adelson announced that the $2.4 billion Venetian Macao Resort Hotel on Cotai will contribute massively to the development of the Cotai Strip, adding that he planned to add a few more hotels such as the Four Seasons, Sheraton and St. Regis to Cotai, totalling the investment of his Las Vegas Sands (which also runs the Sands Macao on the Macau peninsula), to $12 billion by 2010.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
