“The Venetian Macao is thrilled at this accomplishment,” says Gunther Hatt, Executive Vice President of Operations, Venetian Macau Limited. “With more and more large-scale MICE events coming in to the Cotai Strip® and to Cotai Expo, we are making a global name for ourselves as a venue that can handle the largest and most high-end events all under one roof.
