Venetian - The Real Deal :
Designed to fit somewhere between Paris and Bellagio, the Venetian offers lots of different types of games at higher minimums that most strip casinos. The Venetian's casino is about 10 blocks from the asphalt on the strip - it's a hike. The Venetian's casino is also directly below the Venetians Grand Canals (!) - a design choice that adds to the weird vibes in the casino. There are tons of games, although it seems like most of the tables are closed whenever we roll in there. The clientele used to be a little older (50s) and well heeled but with the opening of Tao night club and Bistro the young and beautiful have flocked to the Venetian to see what color Paris Hilton's panties are on any given night.
Venetian History
The Venetian is built on the site where the legendary Sands Hotel stood for 44 years. The Venetian opened on May 3, 1999 and initially cost $1.5 bajillion dollars to construct. The Venetian is one of the 'city-styled' super-mega resorts (like Paris and New York-New York) that apes the vibe of a big city somewhere in the world. In this case, its Venice, Italy. Their clientele is mixed, but more of the affluent side and their rooms are more buck than bang.
In total, Venetian complex, dubbed MEGACENTER(tm) is made up of three hotel towers plus the Sands Convention Center around back. The main tower - The Venetian opened in 1999, the second The Venezia built on top of the Venetian's parking garage opened June 27, 2003. The third tower, The Palazzo opened December 30th 2007, unlike Venezia which is essentially hotel tower addition to Venetian, Palazzo is a full resort in its own right.
Location of Venetian:
Right smack in the middle of the mid-strip (northish) renaissance kicked off by Wynn Las Vegas. Wynn Las Vegas, Mirage, TI -Treasure Island and Harrah's are within easy walk of the Venetian and its sister property the Palazzo. Looking for a grind joint to play cheapo craps? Casino Royale, New Frontier, O'Shea's and Imperial Palace are all within a reasonable walking distance. The Fashion Square Mall is also nearby in case you need to pick up a charge cable for your iPod or a new pair of sneaks.
Cool Stuff About Venetian:
The crazy Q-Bert styled floor in the main lobby is a great place to go if you're a little high.

The Rooms at Venetian
Venetian Suites
The Venetian Tower is much more desirable option. The tower is easy to access from the resort. Venetian Luxury Suites feature king sized bed, large comfy sofa, two big TVs, a sunken living room, large bathroom, tablet desk, minibar and a sitting area. They call it Luxury for a reason although this is the 'base model'. Venetian Bella slightly larger than Luxury, with all the same amenities plus two queen beds. Venetian Rialto 1100 square feet, queen size bed, marble entryway, bathrobes in addition to the previous offerings. Venitian Piazza even bigger than Rialto with king bed, a powder room and fully stocked wet bar (its not free). Venetian Prima top two floors of Venetian tower, 1500 square feet, hot tub, living room, walk in closets, four TVs plus all the other stuff.
Venezia Suites
The Venezia Tower suites are finely appointed, but the travel barriers from the resort to the Venezia Tower can be quite a drag. It's not far to get to, it just takes a bunch of navigation and multiple elevators. Venezia Tower guests have access to the private Villa Deck pool. Venezia Luxury - 650 square feet, king bed, two big tv's, cd player, pools, shoe shine service and orchid vase (poo poo!). Venezia Bella larger than Luxury, with dual Queen beds. Venezia Terrazo - larger than Bella, with an out door patio and all the amenities of Bella & Luxury. The top 5 floors of the Venezia house the Concierge Suites with private check in, private elevator, fancy bedding, a TV in the john and turndown service. If you can afford to stay there, you probably won't be reading this website.
Restaurants at Venetian
Fine Dining
AquaKnox - the newest restaurant at Venetian, mostly seafood but non seafood options available (full meal no booze $70/person). Bouchon- french yummies - great breakfast! ($60).

Pinot Brasserie - french style steakhouse, check out their cheese menu - the lamb chopper is awesome. Postrio Wolfgang Puck's Italian steakhouse (seafood too!).

Venetian Tips
Spa, Guggenheim Museum, the Grand Canal Shops, Gondola rides, Blue Man Group, Gordie Brown, Phantom of the Opera and more! The Venetian has a ton of options for entertainment, dining and rooms. If only their casino wasn't submerged in bad mojo by being underneath 30 tons of water...

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.

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.

This place was alright. Only came here to eat and ride the gondola which was way too crowded.

Fantastic restaurants (Delmonico). Rooms are getting a bit worn and not a great place to gamble. Overall a great facility.

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.

Very nice large well appointed rooms. Great Dining options, Great Location, Overrated Spa with lousy wet facilities, The reason I rate Venetian a 4 while Mandalay Bay, TI and Mirage get 5s is because I take value into consideration.

I have not stayed here but I like the casino and the bloody mary's here are great!

Good sized rooms with a funky design (step down living room), I stayed here for a week during a Convention and got very comfortable here. It’s not as high end as they would like to be, but it’s a solid B .

Too rich for my blood to gamble here. Unless I'm ready to get bled on Pai Gow and there is a $10 table to be found. But a nice place to lay you're head.

They have freaking gondolas. Does your fave spot have gondolas. I thought so.

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 don't count Bouchon, but I do count hearing Music of the Night 1000 times per stay.

It is a beautiful hotel blessed with atmosphere, food, and a Phantom. the wax museum is a must and Tao is a fun, hip restaurant. Blue Man Group is amazing and so are the HUGE rooms. Stay here!

A nice experience with nice staff, but a gaudy room that seemed less than worth the money, the sunken bedroom was just a step for me to trip over in the night, best robe this side of the greenbrier. Dinner was good at the restaurants, sorry don't remember the names but wouldn't hesitate to eat there.
