Macao, Special Administrative Region of the People’s
Republic of China (May
16, 2008) – The Venetian®
Macao-Resort-Hotel today announced a series of modifications aimed at providing
convenience to families and enhancing the experience of family groups who visit
the resort hotel.
The
modifications are, namely:
- Creation of partitioned corridors
adjacent to the gaming area to enable adults and children who are hotel
guests to have easy access from the hotel west lobby to the hotel towers,
without having to enter the gaming area or walk pass the shopping mall on
the third floor.
- Creation of new corridors to allow
families to access restaurants that are located on the ground floor and
that have their main entrances in the gaming area.
- Building of a new elevator at the
hotel main lobby to take families to the third-floor entrances of the
hotel towers and the Grand Canal Shoppes, without having to enter the
gaming area.
The US$8
million modifications works are under way and are scheduled for completion in
stages in the summer. As part of these modifications, entrances to the gaming
area have been separated from other hotel facilities with partitions.
Since The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel opened its doors on August 28, 2007, it
has continued to attract an average of 50,000 visitors per day. Many visitors come in family groups to
experience the offerings of this largest single-structure hotel in Asia.

facilities and our unique Venetian Streetmosphere® and gondola
