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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
