My Trip to Venetian , Macau

Macau, a place well known for its casinos, its good food, beautiful girls and a gateway into China. No wonder, it is appropriately know as the Casino City in Asia. Like they say, a place to wine, dine and entertainment.

Today Macau is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, and, like Hong Kong, benefits from the principle of "one country, two systems". The tiny SAR is growing in size - with more buildings on reclaimed land - and in the number and diversity of its attractions. The greatest of these continues to be Macau's unique society, with communities from the East and West complementing each other, and the many people who come to visit.

As someone might put it “I don't think that is possible to stay in better and bigger room for such a price anywhere in the world. The whole hotel is breathtaking. I wish I can go there again soon”

Another extreme would put it “Worst hotel experience I've ever had from check-in to check-out. Bottom line is there are too many people here, and the management and staff are unable to accommodate the needs of the individual traveler. This is an assembly line factory experience. From check in you are forced to check in your bags first then stand in line at another check”
I would agree with both of these comments, as both my wife and I were caught in similar situations like this.
The hotel resort is superb, 5 star amenities with very beautiful and extremely spacious room. My wife and I were very excited as we landed on their international airport, and eagerly find our way to their Coach service just short walking distance from the terminal exit.
It was sort of a holiday season. And so, when we reached the hotel we were disappointed to find out that we need to follow a long line to get checked in.
Greeted by a crowded reception instead of a warm welcome, we made our way to the concierge to leave our luggage so that we do not have to wait around. Instead, we can start to move around and come back to check-in at a later time.
We couldn't complain though with our room. It was very big, more of like one bedroom apartment split level with large sitting room, and a clear view towards Hard Rock hotel.. It has all the amenities that you would need (very comfortable lounge, TV, Fridge, Coffee Maker, Fax), the huge bathroom with your own bathtub, sala set, dining table, etc and etc. We love the environment and our room.
The food selection during breakfast (which by the way was included in the room rate that we have paid) was great! For USD300 a night with breakfast thrown in plus the theatre show for 2, who would complained. For breakfast, we had 3 different restaurants to choose from.

The resort hotel provides a free shuttle bus to the heart of the city (airport and other areas in Macau) and we took advantage on this to drop us at the SANDS Hotel and casino and from there, took the cab to the city center which is only a short distance anyway.

So our trip to the Venetian Hotel, is actually a trip to all other Hotel/Casinos in Macau as well. As we went to the SANDS, Hard Rock, Grand, Palace the LISBOA, the WYNN and others.

Then, there is this Saint Paul Ruin, the icon of the Macau city. Macau is quite a small city if I can call it one, but it is really a Casino City so after this trip, it would probably be a long long time before I would come this way again.

All in all, it is a very good, enjoyable trip and money well spent for me and my wife.
