Let’s Visit Asia

There is a nicely-written review at NY times of the humongous Venetian Macao, which opened about half a year ago. It seems that while the property and the suites are truly awesome in terms of its size, there’s a lot left to be desired. Read for yourself.
If I were to go in Macau, I’d make absolutely sure to see this enormous place. Just the expanse and range of amenities is utterly mind-boggling. It’s not a hotel, it’s a city in itself!

Off to try your luck at the Macau casinos? Bring the kids along! To Macau, I mean, not to the casinos!
If you book yourselves at the Mandarin Oriental, you can get them involved in the summer fun games organized by the hotel. Or, if there are enough kids participating (kids from your gambling colleagues, perhaps?), they can all go on a horse-riding tour, or engage in pool water fun games.
Heck you can join in on the fun, too. Afterall, the casinos don’t open til late in the evening!
See Mandarin Oriental’s website to see what awaits you and your kids.
