With more than 6 million visitors since the opening in August, Venetian Macao is expecting the venue to be a popular attraction over the Christmas period.

The Venetian launched its Christmas attractions, with amongst the many events making up this exciting promotion are ‘Gondola Rides with Santa’ at the Grand Canal, where you and your loved one can indulge yourselves in a romantic experience, with Santa Claus as your special companion,” a press release said.

Guests are also encouraged to make a wish at one of the three canals running through the Grand Canal shopping area. Coins will be collected and donated to the Cradle of Hope Association.

Gifts can also be donated to the association using bins placed throughout the shopping malls.

Shops and restaurants are also offering specials through the Christmas period.

The winter celebrations will finish at the end of Chinese New Year.

The venue is also counting down to the new year’s party which will see the Pussycat Dolls perform at the Venetian Arena.
