Cotai, also known as the Cotai Strip, 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.
Taipa
Taipa is the centremost of the three regions of Macau. Taipa is situated between the Peninsula and Coloane island but is now joined with Coloane by Cotai, which was reclaimed from the sea.
