Grand Canal Shoppes
Macau’s biggest mall and home to the swankiest shops, the Grand Canal Shoppes, has become somewhat of a destination for shoppers from
China and all over
Asia. Set on the third floor of the Venetian
Macau casino – the biggest casino in the world – the shops are lined up along the casino's fantastical Venetian inspired canals.
