From Wikitravel

Cotai, also known as the Cotai Strip, (路氹 - Lou Tam in Cantonese, Lu Tan in Mandarin) is in the rather unimaginative name given to the reclaimed land between what used to be Taipa and Coloane islands in China's Special Administrative Region of Macau, coined out of the contraction of Coloane and Taipa.

The area is being developed into the Las Vegas Strip of the East and will also house several hotels, sports facilities, golf courses and other facilities.

• The Venetian Macao Resort Hotel, [1] Cotai Strip. Tel: +853-28828888. Email: inquiries@venetian.com.mo - With the grand opening in the last week of August 2007, the Venetian is touted as the Asia's largest casino, housed in its largest building and at a cost of nearly $2.4bn it is no surprise. There are close to 3,000 suites, 16,000 staff members, 840 gaming tables and 3,400 slot machines. In addition it has a 15,000 seat sports arena. The conceit is Venice meets China and there is even an indoor canal replete with gonola and sampan rides.

[edit] Go Karting

• The go-kart track on the southern end of Cotai. You can reach it by bus from Macau and Taipa on route 21, 21A, 25, 26 and 26A, and from Taipa on route 15. Casual rates (as of Jan 2007) 100/180MOP for 10/20 min. You can also book the track for a private event but they require 7 days notice. The track itself is quite good taking about a minute to navigate, at a leisurely pace.

[edit] Bowling

• Macau Dome (澳門蛋) is a bowling centre of international standard, constructed in 2005 for the East Asian Games. There are 24 lanes, the first four of which may be used by children as these lanes are equipped with raisable borders. A lane costs MOP20 per person and game during the day, MOP30 in the evening. The Macau Dome can be reached from Macau and Taipa by bus 21, 21A, 25, 26, or 26A, or from Taipa by bus 15 (get off at Rotunda Flor de Lotus).
