Glitzy opening for Macau's biggest casino

The Venetian Macau, the world's largest casino complex, opened with a grand event featuring Diana Ross. Macau has surpassed Las Vegas in gaming revenue, becoming the new gaming capital. The rapid growth has led to a significant portion of Macau's workforce being employed in casinos, causing shortages in other sectors. The government and casinos are working to balance the economy, but the need for labor may require importing workers. Despite challenges, the booming gaming industry is seen as a worthwhile gamble.
