The Heart of Macau Entertainment: A-Z of Cotai Strip

Cotai Strip entertainment

Macau’s Cotai Strip has all the glitz, glamour and grandeur that a night on the town requires, and then some. Get dressed up, take in a show and eat some Michelin star food before passing out in one of the world’s most luxurious hotels. A night on the Cotai Strip has a whole host of entertainment, so here is our A – Z of what not to miss!

A. Art

Particularly Art Macao. The first event of its kind, this large scale art festival took Macau by storm. All the Cotai integrated resorts took part in Art Macao, organizing stunning exhibitions free of charge. The event is planned to be annual and we will definitely see more art at the Cotai Strip in the years to come. Meanwhile, everyone can enjoy permanent collections of art at some of the properties.

B. Broadway Food Street

A whole world of gastronomy opens up to everyone who finds themselves on this rather short, but busy street, just a five-minute walk away from Galaxy Macau. Over 40 restaurants with mostly Asian food are lined up on both sides of the street. If you walk further though, follow the sounds of the drums and guitar to enjoy some live rock music and delicious food at The Roadhouse Macau. Or walk just a little more to its quieter neighbor–Duffy’s Irish Pub, the most authentic Irish bar in Macau.
