City of Dreams

City of Dreams is a property along the Cotai Strip in the Cotai reclamation area in Macau built, owned and managed by Melco Crown Entertainment, formerly known as Melco PBL Entertainment. City of Dreams is Melco’s second mega-sized property in Macau. It is located directly opposite The Venetian Macao, the first property in Cotai, opened by Las Vegas Sands Corp.

City of Dreams, widely known as CoD or CoD Macau in the industry, is in the style of a podium, with four towers: namely the Hard rock Hotel, Crown Towers Hotel, and the Grand Hyatt Macau (2 towers). A 47-story luxury apartment block is planned for a later phase of development. Its three-floor podium includes a mega-casino, over 200 shopping facilities and hotel guest facilities. City of Dreams has 420,000 square feet (39,000 m²) of gaming space with 550 gaming tables and 1500 machines, over 20 restaurants and bars, including one of the largest in the city. The property also includes 175,000 square feet (16,300 m²) of high-end retail space (The Boulevard) spread across two levels.

The first phase of City of Dreams opened on 1 June 2009, and the Grand Hyatt in November 2009. There are two theatres, the first, called "The Bubble", currently shows an immersive HD media projection presentation entitled "The Dragons Treasure". The second, the "Dragone Theatre", will open in 23 September 2010. It features an in-the-round water show, the largest of its kind in the world.
