PERSPECTIVE

The Venetian Macao is a casino resort in Macau, China owned by the Las Vegas Sands hotel-casino chain. The Venetian is 32-story, $1.8 billion anchor for the 7 resort hotels which have been recently completed or are under construction on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 10.5 million-square-foot Venetian -- twice the size of the Las Vegas original -- is the largest building in Asia and the second-largest in the world. The largest building is a Boeing Co. plant in Washington.

The main hotel tower was finished in July 2007 and the resort officially opened on August 28, 2007. The resort has 3000 suites, 1.2 million square feet of convention space, 1.6 million square feet of retail, 550,000 square feet of casino space – largest in the world – with 3400 slot machines and 800 gambling tables and a 15,000 seat arena for entertainment/sports events.

no maam. all pictures are handheld. i left my tripod at my apartment. actually, i have taken many shots than these and almost 70% are rejects. all you just need is to tweek those shutter & aperture knobs and a good steady hands to get the job done. hehehe

and by the way... i didn't use flash in those pictures. hihihi
