Cotai Strip

The Cotai Strip is the central area of Cotai, mostly known for its cluster of resort hotels and casinos. The term was first coined by Las Vegas Sands Corporation in reference to its construction of a strip of hotel-casinos in the Cotai section of Macau.

Cotai was the result of a major land reclamation project which joined the two islands of Coloane and Taipa and forms part of the Macau government's continuous efforts to expand the region's territory. The reclaimed land in Cotai has been mainly used for development of casinos.Over the past few decades, the layout of the Cotai Strip has also slowly developed into a grid-like layout with major hotels and casinos, not directly connected to the 'strip' as opposed to Las Vegas Strip where the majority of major hotels and casinos have front access to the strip.
