The Second Largest Building in the World


At 10.5 million square feet, the Venetian Macau is the second largest building in the world. It has been touted as able to hold ninety Boeing 747 Jumbos. In reality it is a large glorified parking lot. What does it park? People and money! The people come and go, but of course the money stays!

It is a much nicer casino than the others in Macau. The exterior is finished with the intricate designs and look so familiar to those who have visited Venice, and the interior is filled with paintings and an opulent interior decoration. In the effort to improve on its Las Vegas sister, there are 3 canals rather than the 1 in Las Vegas. When we were there, only one was open and the other two were still under construction.
