Casino at The Venetian Macao

The casino at The Venetian Macao is one of the largest gaming floors in the world, inside the Venice-themed resort on the Cotai Strip in Macau. It covers about 550,000 square feet with roughly 800 tables and 3,400 slot machines, is open 24 hours to anyone aged 21 or over, and suits adult visitors who want to see Macau's gaming scale alongside the canals and shops upstairs.

The Venetian on Cotai, open since 2007

The Venetian Macao stands on Cotai, the strip of reclaimed land that joined the islands of Taipa and Coloane in the 2000s. Las Vegas Sands built it as a larger sister of The Venetian in Las Vegas, and it opened on 28 August 2007, when Cotai was still largely empty. Venice is the theme throughout: indoor canals run under painted skies, gondoliers sing to passengers, and the façades copy Venetian landmarks. The resort holds roughly 3,000 suites, about 1.6 million square feet of shops, a convention centre and The Venetian Arena, which seats around 15,000 for concerts and sports.

Four themed zones, mostly baccarat tables

The floor is split into four themed zones: Golden Fish, Imperial House, Red Dragon and Phoenix. Baccarat takes up most of the tables, as it does across Macau, with sic bo, roulette and blackjack in smaller numbers. Separate salons serve premium members. The floor is big enough that losing your group is easy, so agree a meeting point at one of the restaurants around the edge before you split up.

Where non-gamblers can wait or wander

Restaurants, bars and food courts line the edges of the floor, so members of a group who do not play can wait nearby. Younger travellers and anyone not gambling can spend the time upstairs, where the canals and shopping arcades are open to all ages and draw many visitors who never place a bet. Gondola rides and Arena events are ticketed separately; the Arena's late-2026 concert calendar lists tickets from MOP 388.
