Evening arrival in Macau and where to stay?

Hi, we'll be arriving macau airport 8:55pm. Can you give us idea where is the best place to check in a hotel since its night time. Is it in Cotai Strip, Taipa Island, or Downtown area? Are there still available bus or any transportation at that time going to the hotel or perhaps they offer a free shuttle bus going to their hotel? On our second day, please give us sample itinerary for the whole day, and we like ending up at night in one of the casinos in macau , Venetian Hotel. On the third day, any suggestions to shop a good bargain and places to go for good food, since we are already leaving at 11pm. So please suggest places near the airport so we wont be late for the evening flight. hope to hear from you. thank you
