Magic of Christmas
'Tis the season “ooh” and “ahh” as Macau resorts create the most picturesque holiday light displays during the merriest time of year. First up, Sands Resorts Macao, which has welcomed the festive season in great style with the launch of The Venetian Macao’s Magic of Christmas 3D light and sound spectacular. Set against the backdrop of the resort’s lagoon area, the show runs every 30 minutes nightly from 6.30pm to 10pm and will alternate with The Venetian 10th Anniversary light show. Featuring state of the art digital video mapping technology created by Australian company Artists in Motion—who have produced shows for the Beijing Olympics and the Sydney Opera House—the show projects festive images onto the 43,000sqft façade of The Venetian Macao. Nearby, the magnificent 48-foot Christmas tree and decorations adorning entrances, lamp posts, arches and pillars, all add to the festive atmosphere.

Until January 8

Teeling whiskey tasting
Irish whiskey fans in Macau are in for a treat this month as the Teeling Whiskey company, in collaboration with The Lounge at JW Marriott Hotel Macau, presents a free flow whiskey cocktail tasting, every night from 6:30-8:30pm for four weeks. Teeling whiskeys embody the entrepreneurial spirit of the Teeling family, with each variety bottled at 46 per cent with no chill filtration to allow for all the natural flavours to be retained. The Lounge will feature three varieties of distillery’s whiskey—Teeling Small Batch, rum casked for an inviting nose of vanilla and spice; Teeling Single Grain, awarded World's Best Grain at the World Whiskies Awards 2014 and one of the only single grain bottlings in the world; and Teeling Single Malt, made from 100 per cent malted barley and vatted in five different wine casks. The tastings, with pass-around service, feature 12 classic cocktails and creative concoctions served in two sets, including Teeling Iced Tea—Teeling Small Batch, Aperol, ginger liqueur, fresh lemon, simple syrup, herbal fruit tea, and The Liberties Sour—Teeling Small Batch, draught Guinness, Lapsang Souchon Tea Syrup, fresh lime, egg white, angostura and chocolate bitters.

Jimmy Barnes concert
Australia’s most successful rock icon Jimmy Barnes will perform at The Parisian Theatre, The Parisian Macao for one night only this Saturday. Over his 40 plus year career, Barnes has been through it all, and lived to tell the tale in his book Working Class Man. If you don’t have a copy, here’s a quick summary: After enjoying initial success with his legendary band Cold Chisel, Barnes went solo in 1984 with his debut album Bodyswerve, immediately topping the charts, as did all his albums for a decade thereafter. His 1986 album, For the Working Class Man, gave him a signature sound and cemented his place at the centre of his generation of Australians. Not only is title track one of the most well-known songs in the country, it is also regarded as a theme song for many Ozzies. Famous for the intensity of his legendary live shows, and his unique raspy voice, fans can expect to hear Barnes’s chart-topping hits—Freight Train Heart, Barnestorming, Two Fires, Flesh and Wood, and Soul Deep—at his Macau debut performance.
