Cotai’s Upcoming Nightlife Boom
Filed Under Macau, Macao, Cotai, ENTERTAINMENT, Nightlife, Cotai Strip® | Leave a Comment
In my last post, as I was busy plugging my new site DailyDoseofVegas.com, I rambled on a bit about how important nightclubs and nightlife has become to Las Vegas.

Introducing: DailyDoseofVegas.com
Filed Under Cotai | Leave a Comment
How could I write about Cotai, Manila Bay, and the global casino business, but not write about Vegas? So now I introduce to you Daily Dose of Vegas, which is basically a news blog / aggregator of the most relevant and interesting items in the press, the Vegas blog community, and other Vegas websites, brought to you on a daily basis (or almost daily basis).
Since there are already a lot of great blogs out there already about Vegas, I thought I could add more value by scouring the web each day and bringing them all together on one site, along with all the mainstream media news out there. My goal is to focus mainly on the Las Vegas casino and tourism industry Read more

Zaia | The Cirque du Soleil show at the Cotai Strip®’s Venetian Macao
Filed Under Macau, Macao, Cotai, Venetian Macao, Cirque de Soleil | 1 Comment
Cirque du Soleil and Las Vegas Sands finally made an announcement providing some details for their much awaited Cirque show on LVS’s Cotai Strip®. The show will be called Zaia and is scheduled to start this spring in Zaia’s special 1,800 seat theatre at the Venetian Macao.
This is pretty exciting news for Macao. If you’ve been to Vegas, you know its hard to go anywhere in Las Vegas without seeing a Cirque advertisement, since it seems to be a Cirque show at almost every major resort on the Strip. The shows are pretty spectacular (and expensive), and Zaia should be a big step in making Macao the entertainment capital of Asia. Read more

Things get crazy a couple times a year so you’ll notice that I normally try to post every day or other day. Thanks for patience.
