The Venetian

I would rate this more of a 4.5 stars if given the option. Nothing 'wrong' with the hotel per se, just not quite the same level of luxury as what a 5.0 star would be. Ambiance is corporate/convention type for the most part, with some vacationers. Lot of activity on the main casino floor, in fact the wave of convention people led to packed bars and restaurants, but there are plenty of options on the property if you get away from the restaurant row and near the hotel elevators. Business Trip solo. Rooms are clean and spacious. Great to have extra space with couch and table, though note that if travelling with a companion, the extra space is not walled off. I would stay there again. Pros - Clean, large rooms - Comfortable bed - Attentive housekeeping - showed up multiple times each - Pretty quiet in the rooms - Pool is heated Cons - Little bit towards the north end of the main part of the strip, but easy to get to just about anywhere, especially the Sphere - Smoking in casinos

This is an AMAZING hotel that I will absolutely stay at again. From the start, our check-in process was so incredibly pleasant and I want to thank front desk agent Jesus for that. He was so welcoming, kind and accommodating. The rooms are top tier, very spacious especially traveling with two kiddos. This hotel is so gorgeous. It smells beautiful and looks overwhelmingly gorgeous. Great dining options for any time of day. Pool was perfect. The view was stunning, beds are so comfortable... just everything was perfect. Thank You Palazzo!

The Venetian is in a great location and is stunning throughout. The suites are marvellous - very comfy bed, huge sitting area and plenty of drawer and hanging space. Really good bathroom. There are lots of bars, restaurants, fast food and shops within the complex. However, on the downside it's massive and a trek to even get a coffee. Tea and coffee making facilities in room would be a benefit. Despite the huge size, it does get very busy and it can sometimes be hard to get a restaurant table or a seat at a bar. There are many conventions held here and on our final few nights of our trip the hotel was incredibly busy. On our last night we tried to revisit a couple of our favourite bars but both were closed due to 'Private Functions' (for the Convention people). This seems very unfair on the other paying guests.

The Venetian Closed the bridge after the Eagles Concert and made us walk out into the street. I told security I had hip issues ( I’m older) and couldn’t walk very far. They told me it was just down the block. It took me 40 minutes to walk around and get back to the hotel and I was walking pretty fast. I got pushed out into the street on las Vegas Blvd because the sidewalk couldn’t hold the large crowd. I was forced to walk on the curb. Holding onto the spikes to keep me from falling into the street of oncoming cars that we’re traveling fast and honking at me to get out of the road. After about 10 minutes of this there was a drop in the fence and I tried to climb over it & the spikes to get back on the side. I got stuck on the top & couldn’t get down. Finally a wonderful young man picked me up and set me down on the sidewalk. I still walked a long way to get back. The Front desk manager was going to take off the snacks in my room for compensation. I didn’t eat the snacks. I was furious after what I’d been through. I stayed at The Venetian precisely because it is connected to The Sphere. They didn’t want all those people bombarding their casino when the concert was over. He finally took the fees’ off to appease me. When I checked out the next morning I supposedly still owed $125.00. I went back to the desk and they took them off. They had the streets blocked off because they were full of people so I couldn’t hail a cab either. They didn’t tell us we couldn’t go back to the hotel the way we came, A forty minute walk is a long way! The Eagles were amazing though. The best concert I’ll ever see!

Amazing experience and can’t wait for when we are able to come back and stay again! The Venetian has everything you need if you didn’t want to leave the hotel, but if you decide to, it is close proximity to so many sites on the Vegas strip! Sure you can stay somewhere cheaper, but the customer service and atmosphere at the Venetian is unmatched anywhere in town.
