Cotai Strip, Macau (Macao)

The Cotai Strip is a major land reclamation project in Macau, a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China. The land reclamation project includes joining the two islands of Coloane and Taipa, and is part of the Macau government's continuous efforts to expand the region's territory. The reclamed land in the Cotai Strip is to be mainly used for casino developments, and the English name for the new area has been derived from the Las Vegas Strip, albeit the Cotai-Strip is on a considerably smaller scale.
