Oh my God, the Chinese have stolen Venice.
Well, not literally stolen, but they copied it on a smaller scale. I’m talking about the Venetian Macao in China, the world’s largest casino and the third largest building in the world. It has more than 1000 slot machines and over 600 gaming tables open 24/7. So it’s safe to say you’ll find a table to lose your money at.
The Venetian is a huge complex with the central building standing over 40 stories high and costing $1,8 billion to build. It also has a smaller replica of the famous, romantic city of Venice which proves once again that Asians love to copy western culture.

They’re good at it. These are quite accurate architecturally, and I know Venetian architecture. The forced perspective and the painted-on sky are a little disconcerting, though.

At least one of the pictures (the one outside with the Tao advertisements) are of the Venetian in Las Vegas, Nevada, which was constructed before its Chinese counterpart.

i dont know if i realyl agree with the statement that “asians love to copy western culture”. i sense a hint of racism in that statement. on the other hand, are there not millions of westerners now who eat sushi on a daily or weekly basis? do you not find asian cuisine all across places in western countries? the movie that came out recently kungfu panda, a smash hit at the box office, is an example of how western people are also intrigued by eastern culture. sorry spooky, no offense….

Quote me If I’m wrong but I think this casino is funded
partly by James Packer, the son of late Australian
billionaire Kerry Packer. I heard on the news
that he was investing in Asian casino’s as it’s become
the world’s largest area of growth in the gaming sector.
