The 10.5 million-square-foot Venetian Macao Resort opened on Tuesday to great fanfare; it is the second largest building in the world after the Boeing Co. plant in Washington. Needless to say, it's the world's largest casino, giving Macao the new status of global gambling capital. Since it is the only legal place to gamble in China, its future looks promising while it aims to attract wealthy Asians from other countries.
Implications - So the next time you're China, maybe you should consider hitting up the Venetian Macao Resort. I'm not a big gambler, but my attraction to this casino is base purely on novelty. There is no other place in the world like it.
