The Venetian

We stayed two nights at the Venetian December 28 to 30. Overall a good stay our room was very spacious and the food was very good and entertainment was excellent especially the Shin Lim Magic Show. On our last day at check out we scanned our valet parking ticket at the kiosk and it gives an option to leave a gratuity, since I had cash ready for the tip I opted no on the kiosk. Our car took 40 minutes for them to bring out front. I asked why did it take so long? The lady that brought our car said VIPs get faster service? Our friends who got their car are not VIP. Then the lady that brought our car at 11 am said VIPs are the ones that leave a tip on the kiosk. I said I had cash ready since I thought the you would prefer cash tip. Anyways if you don’t tip on the kiosk machine expect to wait longer to get your car out from Valet. Terrible that the valet parking operates this way.

No access to water bottle fill stations, and in room bottles cost $18. Housekeeping skipped our room, waited 10 minutes on the phone to notify them. $50 drink credit has many contingencies. For the the luxury price they are acting like spirit airlines

First time booking through Amex Travel using their Fine Hotels selection, and it definitely lived up to the hype. From the moment we checked in at the Venetian, everything felt easy and elevated. The front desk associate was warm and welcoming, and we were pleasantly surprised with a room upgrade. Since it was just my husband and me, I wasn’t sure we needed it—but I’m so glad we said yes. The newly remodeled suite was impressive, with a Sphere view, tons of space including a huge spacious bathroom, an extra half-bathroom & closet, a dining table for six, and even a pool table - such a fun Vegas touch! She also walked us through the $100 property credit that comes with booking through Amex and offered a 4 p.m. late checkout (when available). We didn’t end up needing the full extension, but the fact that it was offered so thoughtfully was appreciated. One of my favorite parts of staying at the Venetian/Palazzo is that you truly don’t have to leave the resort for terrific dining options. The dining options are endless—from quick bites and casual spots to fine dining, plus plenty of cocktail lounges and speakeasy vibes throughout. We had dinner at COTE and Wakuda, and both were great experiences - amazing food and top-tier service. We also caught The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, and it was such an experience. A lot of people we met said it was their second time seeing a show there, and after watching it, we totally get why. One quick tip if you’re planning a show night: it’s worth looking up the most direct route from the Palazzo Tower to the Sphere. After dinner at Wakuda, the walk felt longer than expected, and getting a taxi right after the show took more time than we anticipated - something to plan ahead for. It had been years since I last stayed at the Venetian, but this trip reminded me why it’s such a classic. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Love the kiosk for check in. Room was ready and absolutely beautiful. We stayed in the North tower room 10229. Spacious, clean and updated. Really loved the text option for anything needed like towels etc. There is a huge variety of places to dine. The shopping is also very nice. This was our 3rd trip to Vegas. We went for the Backstreet Boys concert at the sphere and the hotel was a host hotel due to location. Overall we loved the hotel and would definitely book again if we decide to go back.

Great experience. Service is very good. Food is amazing. Renovated rooms are beautiful. Brera Osteria and sushi samba are great.
