Asia's leading gambling trade show and conference, Global Gaming Expo Asia, kicks off on Tuesday in Macau, the world's largest gambling center and the only place where casino gambling is legal in China. The three-day conference, to be held at the Venetian Macao, attracts a who's who of the gambling industry in Asia, which is rapidly emerging as the primary revenue generator for global gaming companies, such as Las Vegas Sands Corp. and Wynn Resorts Ltd.

Executives from Asia's biggest casino companies and vendors will speak on the future of Macau's Cotai area, the supposed "Las Vegas Strip" of Asia, Singapore's entry into the gambling fray-including the opening of Sands's $5.7 billion casino there in April-and the continuing efforts of Japan's government to legalize casino gambling.

Last year more than 6,000 attended the event, whose sister event G2E is the world's largest gaming trade show and conference and is held annually in November in Las Vegas.
