Cotai Strip
All 3,000 suites of The Venetian are generously sized — the smallest suite category starts at 70 square metres — in a resort that has its own Grand Canal, shopping mall, and arena under one (very large) roof. Theatrical, maximalist, and genuinely fun, this is...

Rooms are generous, the Michelin-starred Imperial Court is one...
