The Venetian Macao Luxury Hotel and Casino Resort in Macau, China, is regarded as the largest casino in the world and the largest single-structure hotel in Asia. Located in Macau’s premier tourist and entertainment hub, the Cotai Strip, the hotel plays host to numerous special events throughout the year.
Engaged by the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, Laservision set out to design and implement a large-scale, video mapping, mega-media event, transforming the facades of the iconic Venetian Hotel into a digital canvas.
The concept was well received by the client and the public with Laservision commissioned to produce a further nine shows catering for The Venetian’s special event requirements throughout the year. Some of these productions included ‘Winter in Venice’, ‘Seasons of Prosperity’, ‘The Magical Masks of Venezia’ and New Year’s Eve Countdown events.
Since its inception, over 2,000 individual shows have been triggered with a 100% success rate.
Marking the beginning of the festive season, Laservision launched The Venetian Macao’s, ‘Winter in Venice’ event with one of the world’s largest architectural 3D light and sound shows – ‘The Magic of the Seasons’.
‘The Magic of the Seasons’ takes audiences through a journey of the four seasons evoking the joy and wonder of summer, autumn, winter and spring through stunning imagery, an orchestral sound score and an array of special effects.
‘Seasons of Prosperity’ was launched to mark the start of the festive holiday season and herald in the Year of the Horse. Crowds amassed at the resort’s expansive outdoor lagoon area, transformed in keeping with an equine theme, featuring 18 fibreglass horses uniquely hand decorated by local Macau artists. Visitors were also enchanted by a beautiful carousel, a traditional Chinese archway, a gigantic 40-foot high peach blossom tree, game booths featuring fortune telling, lucky draws, lucky banner calligraphy and balloon twisting, a real ice skating rink and more.
‘The Magical Masks of Venezia’ sound and light show transports audiences into a magical, mystical and colourful world celebrating the historical Venetian Carnevale which has its origins dating back to the 12th century.
Audiences are taken on a magical journey of a couple who discover the magic of life through the Venetian Carnevale. The couple’s shared experiences of the wonder, mystery and magic of the imagery of Carnevale in its full glory are accompanied by a renaissance-inspired sound score.

Engaged by the leading developer and operator of integrated resorts in Macau, Laservision projected over half a million lumens of light power onto The Venetian’s vast facade. The show combines large-scale 3D video mapping technologies with special effects and an original sound score.
The complexities of the building’s architecture, limited projection locations, ambient light levels and reliable alignment of the projectors across the 4,000 square metre facade provided technical challenges however the Laservision team, consisting of 35 crew members from six countries, produced one of the world’s largest architectural 3D video mapping sound and light shows.
– A plethora of special effects have been incorporated into each commissioned show to enhance the spectacular
– To illustrate, for the ‘The Magic of the Seasons’ show, special effects included sound FX, architectural illumination, rolling fog, snow, live actors and one of Macau’s biggest Christmas trees
Implementing one of the world’s largest architectural 3D video mapping projects required a unique technical solution. Laservision’s Research and Development department worked closely with equipment manufacturers to provide a customised engineering solution capable of withstanding the extreme weather experienced in Macau. From tropical humid environments to typhoons, the technical design was developed to provide a reliable, repeatable and reprogrammable video mapping solution all year round.
