The Casino Royale of the Orient
The Venetian, Macau.
The Venetian is a 40-story, $1.8 billion anchor for the 7 resort hotels which are under construction on the Cotai Strip in Macau. The 10,500,000-square-foot (980,000 m²) Venetian Macao is modeled on its sister casino resort – the The Venetian in Las Vegas – and is the largest single structure hotel building in Asia and the second-largest building in the world.
They wouldn’t allow me to take photos in the gambling zone, but if you look closely at the first floor you’d see the number of tables available to eat your money away. I swear there’s over 300 tables down there.
Correction: The casino consists of over 1000 slot machines and more than 600 gaming tables that are open around the clock. Amazing.

Great shot Keegan. You really do get around. Love the wide angle of this shot and the detail is amazing.
One thing would make it better – some info on how you shot it. Camera settings etc.

Thanks. I did a round Asia trip from Dec 2007 to Jan 2008 which costed me a bomb, but was worth every cent.
I’ll gladly post up the EXIF too :) Thanks for your wonderful comment.
