pretty nice place to stay really. it is starting to show it's age a little (in terms of upkeep) and is lacking some of the little touches that make say a bellagio or wynn nicer, but if you can get a *good* room rate here i think it's worth it. i wouldn't stay for the non-special rates...

the poker room is nice
the restaurants are pretty great i think
the rest of the casino is a little blah...

The Casino:
After losing all weekend at every other casino I entered, Miss Melody and I ventured into the Venetian and proceeded to win at every turn.

We're low-rollers, but I was down about $300 that weekend when we walked into The Venetian that day. We've been through the casino and the shopping mall before, (we even ate at Bouchon a couple time), but we've never gambled there. Why not give it a try?

I put five bucks into one of those penny slots and hit the max bet. Boom! Eighty bucks! So I put twenty into a 50 cent Haywire slot, and BOOM! This time I won about $245. Well, then I went over to the roulette table and put down forty bucks and came away with $120.

In the space of an hour I had won back all my losses from the previous two and a half days.

I tell you this only because I think this place is loose. I have to know, has anybody else experienced good luck at The Venetian?

The suite was beautiful. Had a view facing the strip. We could see down into the inside of the Mirage volcano. Great hotel.

I think Bellagio is clawing it's way back as my favorite place to hang out. Jean Phillippe Patisserrie, Noodles, and the fabulous piano player at Petrossian Bar had me hanging out here longer than I expected to. Last time through, it felt a little old and worn, but at least as of April 08 I felt like it was back in the swing. The conservatory is also the nicest way to wind down a day/night in Vegas. Fantastic.

The crowd was livelier, younger, prettier than most previous times I'd been there. I was really surprised to find so much life on the casino floor on my last trip. Bouchon was as brilliant as ever for breakfast, and still some of the strongest flushing, cleanest toilets. I still think it's a decent to hang, even though the room rates are inflated.

Beautiful resort. Top-notch service and amenities. The suite (standard) was exceptional. Everything about our 3-night stay was fantastic. The hotel is very well kept. We moved to the Bellagio after staying here and the Venetian was definitely nicer than the Bellagio (especially the room, there is no comparison). Try it out. I'm sure you'll agree.

awesome resort

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

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.

Venetian is entertaining, the sheer size of it affords not only mucho people watching but measurable enjoyment just from exploring its expanses. Gambling here sucks though, you might as well just donate your cash to the water features outside as this activity will likely take the same amount of time as losing the money gambling inside and leave you feeling just as unsatisfied. Phantom is a great show, and the AVN porno convention is here every year.

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

The Venetian is an overpriced hoo-ha of a hotel with gold plated styrofoam decor, stodgy rooms and three star service. How this place got a five diamond award baffles me.

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.

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.
