Among the many casinos in Macau, The Venetian is the biggest and one of the best. This hotel, resort, casino, and shopping complex is recreated from its sister property in Las Vegas.

On 18 May 2004, the Sands Macau casino opened near the Macau Ferry Terminal. Today, there are 16 casinos operated by the STDM, and they are still crucial in the casino industry in Macau.
