Macau/Cotai

Cotai, also known as the Cotai Strip, ( - Lou Tam in Cantonese, Lùdàng in Mandarin) is advertised as the "Las Vegas Strip of the East", and not without reason: it houses huge hotels and casinos, upscale shopping, sports facilities, golf courses and more. If you've been to Las Vegas it will seem very familiar, a playground for visitors from China and all over the world. Cotai is built on reclaimed land between what used to be Taipa and Coloane islands in China's Special Administrative Region of Macau; it makes them one larger island. The strip's unimaginative name comes from the initial letters of Coloane and Taipa. The term "Cotai Strip" is a registered trademark of Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
