Description: Macau 28-08-07: Asia's largest integrated resort, The Venetian Macao, is now officially open - ushering in a new chapter in the history of Macau. Hong Kong star Alan Tam and American legend Diana Ross were among the stars at the opening ceremony - held in the 15000-seat Venetian Arena. World-renowned Cirque du Soleil also created a special performance for the event -- in the run-up to having a permanent show here - in the 1800-seat Venetian Theatre. With a price tag of 2.4 billion US dollars, the Italian Renaissance themed Venetian Macau is now the world's second largest building, with convention and exhibition halls, entertainment venues, indoor canals, shops, restaurants and a hotel with 3000 all-suite guest rooms. Not to mention the 550000 square-foot ground level casino floor, which itself is now the largest in the world, with 870 tables and over 3400 slot machines... The star-studded evening of entertainment -- is just the beginning of what Macau can expect in the years to come. Thanks largely to people like Sheldon Adelson, Macau is at a turning point -- setting new standards for luxury, shopping and entertainment -- and redefining the future of tourism for this region. Odds are -- this is a sure bet. To embed this video, visit: www.aomen.tv
