Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) -- Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s Venetian Macao, Asia's biggest casino resort, has attracted as many as 90,000 visitors a day in its first two months of operation, the Macau government's tourism office said.
The average daily number of visitors to the resort ranges from 70,000 to 90,000, Yany Kwan, an official of the Chinese territory's tourism office, said in an interview in Macau yesterday.
The $2.4 billion resort opened Aug. 28 in Macau, a former Portuguese enclave about an hour away by ferry from Hong Kong and the only city in China where casino gambling is legal.
Las Vegas Sands said in Sept. 14 the Venetian Macao had received an average of 55,000 visitors daily.
