Best and largest rooms on the strip. I rank it a little lower than Encore and Wynn because the gambling atmosphere is a little "uptight" and "warehouse" feel. I like a more party and loud gambling atmosphere.

My new favorite, getting comped will do that for a casino. Great restaurants and best club, Tao and Tao beach. Service is excellent and location is good. Looking forward to going back.

Stayed here over Halloween a year ago loved it. Went and ate at some new restaurants this last trip. Bouchon is a delicious breakfast!

Saw the Venetian on our first trip to Vegas and dreamt of staying there. Well, with the help of websites such as these we discovered promo codes and did on our next trip. The rooms are amazing and the pool area is really nice - a lot of space to relax and not feel crammed in like some other pool areas. We try and stay here a few nights on every trip - promo code permitting ;0)

This was the first place I stayed. The second I stepped foot into that lobby, the obsession began. I was hooked. Great rooms, great restaurants, great service. And the casino's not so bad either.

The rooms are awesome, the casino is confusing, prepare to walk miles to find a bathroom, so plan ahead. ;) The Venetian is always hopping. Some days its full of conventioneers, some days its the night clubbers hanging out. If they would just kick the scent down a notch that they pipe through the public areas and casino, this place could score a darn near perfect. Love the food at the Grand Luxe, portions are ginormous! Everything you want is at the V, from shopping, world class chefs, a good gamble and a great bed at the end of the evening.

stayed in the venezia concierge level. it's a pain in the ass to get to your room but the one great thing about it was that they have complimentary cocktails in the early evening. drank the bar out of jack one day. don't forget though just cuz it's free doesn't mean you don't tip.

This is my favorite strip casino. It's absolutely gorgeous. The detail that has gone into this place is amazing. The rooms are suites and very nice. The gambling, in my opinion, is like most places on the strip, tight. They don't build these big casinos on the backs of winners. It is however, one of the top places to see in this great city.

I like the Venetian even with the huge old lady- like odor. I still love to wonder around and eat a Mario Batali's restaurant at the Grand Canal Shops. For me, the second to third best joint on the strip behind Bellagio BTW: Large and nicely renovated rooms!

Very large, got lost trying to find the check in desk, and casino, and restaurants. Nicely laid out room for special occasions. Higher priced than other locations on the strip, though some times they do have good deals. Very nice atmosphere.

Phenomenal poker room and poker room tournament staff. Best food court food. Fresh baked bread and even thought they aren't the best value, or the best maintained, my favorite standard room floor plan on the strip.

Probably our favorite Vegas hotel room so far. Love the sunken living room and being able to shower while watching TV in the bathroom mirror. Huge, impressive property to explore ... St. Mark's Square, several great shows and many wonderful dining options. Not a big fan of the casino, however. Higher table limits and IMO some of the tightest slots in Vegas. And it's a Hell of a long walk from the room to the strip.

Beautiful!! A bit large though. It took a long time to get our bags after check in. They did offer upgrades upon checkin. We chose the 1400 sq ft piazza suite. Boy was that fun. Be sure to call in room dining and inquire about a coffee pot. They will bring it up to you with enough for your entire stay for less than $5 total. Be sure to visit the Buchon bistro. Great treats and snacks. Looking forward to staying here again.

I thought the room was nice. Not amazing, but pretty nice. The biggest downfall of this place is that it is gigantic and maze-like. It's nearly impossible to know your way around in any less than 2 days. Frustrating.

Sorry, but IMHO this place is a faker. The Venetian claims to be "high-class", but beneath that "classy veneer" is just another aging, tacky, overly "Disney-fied" themed "convention factory" casino.The only reason I ever occasionally stop in here is because it has a few salvageable restaurants... But with David Burke and Charlie Trotter (at Palazzo) gone, I have even fewer reasons to bother with this place. Why do the impostor when I can get the real deal (Mirage, Bellagio, Wynncore) nearby?

I've stayed at Caesars several times in both the Palace and Augustus towers. This is my favorite of the Harrahs owned casinos. Very nice rooms, very nice pools, great restaurants and great shopping for Mrs. Fox. Not a Cher, Bette, Elton, or Celine fan, so I haven't been to any of the shows in the Coliseum. We also loved Meas Grille and Bradley Ogen restaurants. Haven't yet tried Guy Savoy. I'll update when I do. Huge casino. Table minimums too high or rules too skewed toward the house. Not lucky here.

Caesars Palace is the casino I normally stay at, since I am comped there. The rooms in the Palace tower are very nicely appointed. I enjoy the casino and find their staff very friendly and attentive. The restaurants have never disappointed me. The breakfast buffet is very good, and the patisserie's desserts are incredible. Rao's has great Italian, but Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill surprised me. I had this incredible shrimp and corn tamale that was just outstanding. Talk about great food, I was incredibly impressed with all the dishes at Mesa and look forward to returning.

Well what can be said about the palace i spent the majority of a day here and must say it was well worth it there was alot to see here from the forum shops to the big casino to the atlantis fountain show it was a pretty awesome sight to see how the fountains transformed into a magical kind of show i never would have expected it and the fact that i was never told or knew about the show but it was awesome to see i do have to say it is a bit confusing to manage your way around caesars if you enter from the mirage side you end up in the main lobby then the casino and trying to make your way to the forum shops area was a bit of a trek but if you have patience then it shouldn't worry you too much the palace is a must see if you plan to visit vegas

After reading all of the VT readers comments on the CP page, I decided to stay at Caesars on my upcoming trip. It's either 3 days here or 5 days at any other LV Harrah's property. Review to come! I had reserved a Forum Tower room but was given a upgrade to the Palace Tower with a view of the pool area.

This place may be ginormous, but it's still fit for a Caesar. Bradley Ogden is still one of my all time favorite restaurants in town (fabulous "farm to table" classic goodness!). The Forum Shops still set the standard for Las Vegas luxury shopping. The brand spankin' new Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is AWESOME! Oh, and did I forget all those sweet goodies at Serendipity? And all of this is right in the heart of The Strip, so you can't beat the location!

The pool area is absolutely amazing. This really is the Temple of the Gods! Absolutely massive casino with a good range of games. We had brunch in the food court . So much to choose from and we finally settled on Chinese. Try the orange chicken - it's awesome.

There comes a time in every player's life where you realize you can't be a high ranking member of every player's club. At some you have to hunker in and go for the high rank. Although everyone knows mLife properties are, on average, superior to CET, TotalRewards fits my play style so much more.
Caesars Palace is where players come to play. The rooms are cheaper and better at so many places on the strip but it doesn't matter. I like learning of dealers that have been working at Caesar's for like 135 years. That's really cool. Dude, those chains on their necks also rock. If you are rolling enough dough, ask the pit boss for a chain like the dealers...they actually have extras right out on the floor.

There's a lot to not like about Caesars, their corporate parent seems hell bent on running the place down. Some of the towers are old and worn, and the odds on some of the floor games are atrocious.

Despite these flaws though, there is still a strong foundation of employees here who deliver great service and understand the 'old school' way of taking care of customers. If you are in one of the newer towers too, the rooms are very nice and the dining, spa, and pool options are all top notch for a mid-strip property.

I finally had the chance to stay at Caesars thanks to a really awesome Total Rewards rate. I had originally booked a room in the Forum Tower but was offered an upgrade to the Augustus Tower for an extra $40/night (which was worth it considering that what I paid for three nights in that tower is about what one night in that tower costs on the weekends). Nice room, and the Augustus Tower is the closest to the lobby as well as Central (the former Augustus Cafe). I would stay there again if the price was right.

My fav place to gamble. Love the PussyCat dolls blackjack pit. Not the best rules in the game, but even when you are getting your ass whipped, it is not as painful because of the scenery. Great drink service. Hotel is very large and hard to navigate unless you are a veteran. Still one of the classics and highly recommended.

Come on, what man of a certain vintage does not hold CP in a special place as the best pools, great shops, incredible floor managers and concierege and fine dining. CP has it all, if they can keep it up.

I never would have been able to stay here if my mother hadn't racked up slot points, but it was great. The luxurious rooms are fun just to be in. I've always loved the Roman statuary and marble decor of Caesars Palace, and of course the Forum Shops are beautiful just to walk through. (I can't afford to shop there!) I ate at the buffet and also at the coffee shop, and they both have elegant settings and food as good as you'd expect. The buffet (Cafe Lago) also has a pianist, at least at the champagne brunch. My complaint, though, is that they make it difficult to use your comp points. It's a complicated system and you lose out if you don't know to charge meals to your room. And it was petty to try to charge me for momentarily picking up a disposable camera off the mini-bar. Still, staying at Caesars is a memorable experience.

Stayed at Caesars Palace multiple times over the past 5 years. Before and after it was Harrahfied. Although I liked the exclusivity and the former feeling of the place as a high roller joint years ago, I do like some of the changes that HET has added including remodeling the property. The level of luxury is not keeping up with the new kids on the block like Wynn and Palazzo so I'm not convinced they will be able to demand the high room prices like in the past. Still the Augustus tower is great digs to stay in. I really like the previous pool configurations there, so I am curious what the redevelopment will add. Seems to me Caesars is just trying to develop the VIP pool business and party atmosphere that other properties are doing to generate more $$$. Dining options are great, if not pricey. Place is huge so it is easy to get lost, but kitchyness of the Roman theme I still like. I am not a fan of the De-Theming of Vegas. Rooms have always been clean, and staff helpful at Caesars from the bellman, housekeeping, hosts, cage attendants, etc. I still think this is a great place to stay if you get a rate below $200 a night and you can get a room in Augustus, Palace, or Forum towers.

Ahhh Caesars. Its been there for forty-something years but still has maintained its luxurious title though the decades even with the newer resorts that have been popping up the past 20 years. Love to eat at Spago and Sushi Roku and walk the forum shops. They also have a pretty kick-ass sports book too.

Havent been to Vegas in 3 years ( yikes ) I'm hearing CP sucks dead bear nuts now. Until I get back and see for myself, I'll give it a 4 just for the sportsbook. I have had reasonably good luck in the casino ( a big source for my favorites list ), and drink service was ok in casino, good in the 'book. Points for hanging on for 45 years I guess. PS, CP...PLEASE extend Eltons contract, I would go see it again before I saw any of the three Cirque shows I have seen a second time.

When me and my girlfriend stayed there in 2001, we had a great standard room and the best part of the room was the bathroom. It had a separate room for the mirror and for the shower and tub. The shower was large with 4 shower heads, the tub was a whirlpool and the toliet was blocked off and had a phone in it.(it was the first time I had every saw a phone in the bathroom).

Nice place to stay, but not worth the rates they charge. Palace Tower and Augustus Tower have best rooms, and are the only option if I am not getting comped. Service has always been above par, and Qua is a great spa. Gambling here I can take it or leave it. Blackjack used to be good when you could find some $25 tables, and dealer stands on S17. Anymore they have Harrified the joint which means loads ot TR carrying tourist with bad play, and bad odds in the casino. In one sentence Nice play to stay but no gamble any more.
