Hi Jonah I find it interesting about the size of the Venetian in Las Vegas but it would fit inside The Venetian Macao a $2.4 billion dollar anchor for the 7 hotels on the Cotai Strip in Macau our sister casino in China. The 10,500,000-square-foot Venetian Macao is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia,and he sixth-largest building in the world by area and the largest casino in the world.
Just the difference in the size of the two buildings is 4,292,420 square-feet, many casinos are not that big. The importance of this to visitors is that just the shear size allows for more events and carnivals. Asia’s Biggest Ice Wonderland exhibit , 90 exquisite Chinese ink paintings with an estimated value of over 12.6 million dollars plus shows like Beauty ＆ The B2st Live are able to take place because of that size.
