- The volume of sand used in the reclamation of land for The Venetian Macao, is enough to build one of Egypt's largest pyramids.
- 3,095,000 cubic meters of sand was used to reclaim more than 399, 000 square meters of land.
- We poured enough concrete to fill 318 Olympic swimming pools.
- As many as 11,000 construction workers and 990 trucks entered the site each day. Twenty-two mobile cranes, 41 crawler cranes and 552 mobile platforms were operating on site at the same time during construction.
- The total size of The Venetian Macao is equivalent to
56 football fields. That's big enough to park close to 100 Boeing 747 jumbo jets!
- Our catering facilities can cater for a 5-course banquet for 10,000 guests. Imagine all of the cabinet space needed to store the dishes!
