Tip Rating:   Satisfaction:  |  |  | |  |
Wonderful hotel, great rooms, largest regular rooms in Las Vegas. They are supposed to be suites, but in reality is just a bi-level with an iron fence, but tastefully appointed. They do not afford any additional privacy for a family.
Tremendous views from every room we've stayed in, and beautiful bathrooms.
Outstanding restaurants, great shopping, plus a canal complete with gondolas. (I don't recommend). I suggest you try the restaurants on the main floor, rather than restaurants surrounding St. Marks Square, with exception of Canaletto, which has fantastic steaks and pasta.
If you think prices of Venetian glass is expensive in Venice, try the prices at The Venetian. Venice is bargain basement in comparision. One of the shops also offers the hand carved articles of clothing, (wood, of course) that is actually designed in Venice. Unfortunately, I can't remember the artists name, but his work is amazing, but pricey. (update...scultore is Loris Marazzi, S. Margherita, 2903)(phone 041 5239001) Leave a Comment Theme: HotelPrice: US$180 and up » Currency ConverterComparison: more expensive than average |

We received a "deal" on email: $139/night, based on double occupancy, mid-week. for a suite. Yeah? Okay... My company forced everyone to take vacation between Christmas and New Year 2004, so we decided to take the offer.
We were not disappointed. While yes, the place is absolutely fake, as is everything on The Strip, the Venetian was, by far, the nicest hotel in to which we walked. We didn't walk in to the Bellagio, which looked like it could be the nicest, however.
The one thing I didn't like about our stay was the smell. They use some kind of cleaner or air "freshener" that I found really offensive.
Our suite had a step-down sitting area, two televisions, a huge marble bathroom with glassed in shower and a large tub (not jacuzzi, however). The bed was canopied, in suite fax/printer/scanner and internet connection for our handy-dandy laptop. Paperwork indicated that the internet connection would cost $9.95 per day, however I had the laptop plugged in and never got charged. Good luck! Leave a Comment |

If you can afford it, the Venetian is a fabulous hotel. (Our room was paid by my husband's company, so no worries for us!) The rooms are all suites, service is friendly and helpful, and everything you could ever want is right there -- shopping, art, canal rides, world-famous spa, and fresh Krispy Kreme donuts! The pool area is especially pleasant with room for everyone to spread out (there are three pools). The Canyon Ranch Spa Club is a nice facility, although for the money I the Oasis at Luxor is a better deal.
The Venetian, of course, is modeled on Venice, Italy. The shopping area is laid out along canals with bridges and a main square, and the ceiling is painted to look like an outdoor sky. There are almost always performers in the square -- from "living statues" (which I found sort of creepy), to string quartets, to madrigal groups with jugglers.

Look for the bell tower.Website: www.venetian.com |

Its hard to believe that you are not actually in Venice as you stand beside the Venetian canals listening to the gondeleros serenade their passengers as they glide pass, until you realise you are on the second floor of this amazing hotel and the opera singers strolling round St Marks square are just actors. It was a mouthdropping experience for us as we entered the Venetian for apart from the scaled versions of the Doges Palace, Rialto Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs at the entrance, the sights that greet you as you enter the Reception area are almost beyond description. High domed ceilings covered in replicas of all the great artwork of years gone by, an abundance of Italian marble and the booming sound of the tenor opera singer are just the beginning of this experience. As you venture further into the hotel and climb the beautiful main staircase you come upon the canals, the gondolas, lanes of designer shops, street cafes around St.Marks square and all under a moving blue sky. The only thing missing are the PIGEONS!
The rooms are all suites in this hotel, huge and comfy and most with amazing views. Dont forget to order your Bellini in St Marks Square, that wonderful cocktail of Prosecco wine and crushed peaches. |
