Venetian Macau and Taipa Village.

Venetian Macau Interior, hiohio.net
Decor-wise, it's very similar.  But the footprint is huge!   Their Grand Canal Shoppes alone is several times bigger than in LV.  I also swear that their fake ceiling is much higher here, making it feel much more open.  Their gondoliers  are super talented.  They were singing a very famous Mandarin song that I loved (and almost as good as the original artist.  What was surprising was they looked Portuguese).

The thing about this Venetian that I really disliked was how crowded it was.  It was so packed that it felt hectic (then again, I think I usually end up there around some sort of Chinese Holiday). 
Venetian Macau Shuttle bus stop.
The shuttle bus parking lot (view from above). As soon as one tour bus pulls out, another pulls in. It was super crowded. I've never see so many Chinese people all together at the same time like this.
Venetian Macau Food Court.
The food court was a madhouse (this only shows about a quarter of it).
Venetian Macau Casino.
The Casino was super packed. Surprisingly, I still haven't gambled there yet. What can I say, I really dislike crowded places.
Pho from Venetian Macau Food Court.
I don't remember the exact local price but I think it was around $10+ usd. Actually it was pretty good.

I like to eat Pho so of course I couldn't help myself.
Venetian Macau Shuttle Buses.
The shuttle bus parking. Like many hotels on Macau, Venetian offers complimentary shuttle to and from the two ferry stations, China border, and Macau airport. A lot of other hotels make a stop here too, hence its so crowded.
From the Venetian Macau, you can easily cross the street to reach Taipa Village (Food Street) or The Taipa Houses Museum (~ 15 mins on foot).

Macau Creations Mascot.
What's not to love, Macau Creations has this cool panda as their mascot.

I really like this souvenir shop  in particular (Macau Creations). This shop is just so artsy and adorable.   You can find so much unique items (made by local artists) for adults and children.  They even sell snacks too. 


They do have another branch in the main island of Macau, but that one is more of a showroom (where you can gather a bunch of vendor's business cards). 


 I love their wonderful postcard selection (you can actually have them post it back home for you but we didn't use it.  I think it was around $1 usd to send a postcard to the US (after you buy the postcard separately).

No visit to Macau would be complete without a visit here!
