From large-scale live entertainment and superstar concerts to world-class sports events, live broadcasts, creative MICE events, and e-sports tournaments, The Venetian Arena is now better equipped than ever to meet the demands of diverse audiences.
First opened in 2007 as the Cotai Arena, the venue has been rebranded and upgraded as The Venetian Arena to maintain its position as one of Macao’s premier event spaces. The renovation project was part of the Macao SAR Government’s broader efforts to diversify its economy, integrating tourism with conventions, sports, and culture. By enhancing the venue’s infrastructure and services, Macao aims to attract more high-profile international events, contributing to the region’s growth as a global entertainment and tourism hub.
We focused on ensuring that the Venetian Arena could be adaptable to accommodate many different types of events. It’s a real multi-purpose venue
The renovation of The Venetian Arena has introduced several key upgrades to elevate the guest and performer experience. Among the notable improvements are the installation of luxurious VIP amenities, flexible seating configurations, improved acoustics, and superior lighting systems. With new LED screens and enhanced rigging capacity, the venue can now accommodate more technically sophisticated performances and events.
The versatile design of the arena features:
→ A retractable seating system with the ability to configure seating for up to 14,000 guests, including 360-degree seating options.
→ 15 VIP suites on the main concourse, complete with food and beverage facilities and private bathrooms.
→ 7 VIP Bunker suites and 10 Sky Box suites, all offering premium seating with exclusive F&B facilities.
→ A VIP Lounge capable of hosting up to 450 people, complete with a meet-and-greet room, cloakroom, and private bathrooms.
Additionally, the arena’s performer and athlete areas have been designed with five-star dressing rooms, sports locker rooms, and dedicated catering facilities to ensure world-class hospitality.
The upgraded Venetian Arena is poised to make a significant impact on Macao’s status as a leading destination for international events. Its enhanced infrastructure offers a more flexible, technically advanced space that will attract a wider variety of events, from major sporting tournaments to high-profile concerts and corporate meetings.
The renovation not only provides an upgraded experience for event organisers, but it also supports the broader integration of tourism with sports and cultural industries. The new Venetian Arena complements The Londoner Arena, which opened in 2023 and can accommodate 6,000 guests, further solidifying Macao’s position as a key player in the global entertainment and events industry.
The Venetian Arena’s architecture combines functionality with modern design, featuring a versatile retractable seating system and spacious layout. Its adaptable structure allows for a variety of event configurations, while enhancing the arena’s overall aesthetic appeal.
The interior design focuses on luxury, with VIP suites, premium seating, and superior acoustics. Thoughtfully crafted spaces, including five-star dressing rooms and a VIP lounge, ensure a sophisticated and comfortable experience for both guests and performers.
