The Venetian

Beautiful property. Large rooms. The staff at the restaurants, Truth and Tonic, Canonita and Brera were outstanding. Made us feel so welcomed and offered meals with non dairy for my son with dairy allergy. Celebrated sons birthdays in style and they loved the desserts they brought them. Everything was clean and all the staff were kind with smiles except one concierge. He was rude and not helpful. I don't have his name sorry.

I paid for a strip view. It was the width of an alley way. They still that it was a stip view because I could see the hotels of the strip over top of the buildings.

The accommodations were wonderful, room comfortable, clean and had a great view. Also many dining choices to enjoy inside the complex. We were disappointed with the closure of the inside passageway to the Sphere which was the benefit and reason to stay at The Venetian. Also the surprise room upgrade charge when the agent at check in offered us a free upgrade. Be careful, when they say free in Vegas is almost always not free.

Went to Vegas to see The Eagles (fantastic concert) in the Sphere and the Venetian was the perfect place to stay. The king bed suite was very comfortable and the cleaning staff was excellent. The Venetian was also close to other shows we wanted to see: Shin Lim, the card magician at the Palazzo Theater who was excellent, and Awakenings at the Wynn and was -- to be frank, boring. The Venetian also was host or adjacent to great restaurants: Yardbird, Smith & Wollensky, and Fogo de Chao; all of which were tremendous. As for gaming, wouldn't touch the roulette tables with 0, 00, and 000 (disguised with a Venetian marker). The house already has enough of an edge.

The resort is gorgeous of course. Only complaint is refrigerator only works for two hours at a time and my sphere view (paid extra) could only be seen by walking over to windows. Had good meals and drinks at Grand Lux, Noodle Asia and Julets.
