stayed in this hotel for three nights after thansgiving and got a rate of $119 trough the travel2vegas.com website posting. after saturday and check in took all of five minutes and the $20 trick worked. gorgeous room on the 26th floor with a strip view. room was large, i believe 650 square feet, two levels, two tv's, beautiful bathroom. maid service was great and requested and received turn down service. use the valet parking in the rear of the hotel, not in the front, this will save you time and effort in getting to your room. unfortunately, these rates are much, much higher in peak season, but the timing work for us. of course, the table minimums are really high, not many table minimums less than 15, 20 or $25. so you can always gamble elsewhere. but overall, a real great facility and the decor, shops, restaurants and of course the gondola ride are well worth giving this place a try if the price is right for you.

Myself and a friend from work,George,stayed here from 12/7/03 out on 12/11/03, the service here was horrible. 1:left the room 12/08 at 10;10 in the morning and the rooms across the haal and either sides of us were being cleand AND the maid saw us leave. 2: came back to the room at 3:40pm and the room wasn't made up.While in the room maid knocked and asked if we wanted the room made up.OF COURSE told her we'll be out in 15min. Before we left called housekeeping informing them what had happened told us they would correct it.Left for the rodeo by 4:05pm came back at 2:15am ROOM WASNT'T MADEUP!!!! Of course made complaint at desk immediatly.Maid service came up to Make theroom at 230am.In the mornig shift we went down yo complain again all the would do was give us a $50 food comp.Unacceptable.I had told the manager that the LEAST they could do for the maid"s negligence was to take of the $35 a night upgrade for the 4 night we were there.Nothing doing.All they wanted to do was give us an additioal $50 FOOD COMP.

I stayed here over the Christmas holiday. The rooms are beautiful but the service only so-so.
I had booked Lord of the Dance tickets throught the Concierge a few weeks ago. Once we got there, I went to pick them up at the desk. After about 20 minutes of confusion the Concierge realized that the show had been cancelled. We were never notified. It sort of ruined the evening since we had booked dinner at a restaurant for 5:30 (way too early for us) in order to get to the show on time. We weren't able to change it.
I asked the Concierge if there was anything they could do for us (I expected a comp) but she said it wasn't her fault and there was nothing she could do. I suspect it has something to do with getting the room off of Priceline. All in all, a beautiful resort. Service people are friendly for the most part.

We paid about $159/night for a luxury suite. We stayed for five nights. The room was fantastic; very big, clean, comfortable. There was plenty of space to relax. There were lots of comfy chairs and a large sofa bed. The bathroom was also very spacious, quite grand. Nice dressing table to do make-up. Provided all the usual amneties plus bathrobes, nail files etc.
Unfortunately the fridge could not be used as it was full of mini bar food that would be charged if it was moved (sensor). However we asked for a fridge for our own drinks and snacks and they brought one quickly. Space was no problem.
Upon arriving, there was a big queue at check-in which moved quickly. The staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly. The bell boy explained everything about the room and hotel very thoroughly and informatively.
There were many restaurants and we were spoilt for choice! We did eat at the Taqueria Canonita, the Mexican restaurant for dinner. It was not overly expensive and the food was delicious. They offered generous portions. In fact it was good value for money based on the quality, amount and service. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. There was however a long wait to get a table as it was busy, but we were dealt with efficiently. At the end of our meal the waitress explained that the manager would offer us a free dessert because of the "slow service" and apologised. Slow service? We hadn't noticed or complained about this, but accepted the free dessert. Very nice.
We also ate at the Tintoretto Bakery for breakfast. Again good food and service for a reasonable price. The portions were enormous and we simply ordered three meals to share among four people.
The shopping arcade was beautiful, by the canal. There were a large variety of upscale boutique and high end designers. There was nothing tacky or cheap about the Venetian. (as there was at many other hotels)
I saw a few couples getting married on gondolas and they looked very happy.
There was a lovely atmosphere at the grand canal.
I don't gamble, but my mum said the blackjack was expensive...
I didn't see the SIX swimming pools unfortunately. :(
I hope to return again soon! It was definately one of the best hotels I've ever stayed at (and I've been to a lot of five star hotels!). It was almost comparable with some of the complete luxury hotels of Hong Kong.
From what I saw of the other hotels on the Strip, the Venetian seemed far nicer and higher class than many of the others. I was very pleased with my choice.

We loved our first stay at the Venetian. We got a great players rate - $99 per nite during Xmas week and upgraded to a strip view for another $30. Highly recommend doing that if view means anything. Rooms are beautiful, meant a lot, as unfortunately my wife got the flu on first day and really appreciated the amenities while she rested and geared up as best she could. Great, I mean great, value at that price. I play mostly craps, and was able to find $5 tables a fair amount of the time, $10 otherwise. Other table games much higher, so played those at other locations. Casino host was fair with comps at the end of our visit. The service was excellent at pretty much every opportunity. There are amazing places to eat, or you can just bomg into the Grand Lux resturant 24X7 which has a great menu for a lot less dough.
In short, we would stay here every visit, rate permitting. We have stayed at many properties on the strip at much lower rates, but will now always check with the Venetian before a final decision.
One note , there were a lot of families during Xmas week and more children than usual Vegas visits. Easy to ignore given the great rate, service, and the most friendly (and easy on the eyes) cocktail waitresses on the strip.

Visited 11/23/03 through 11/27/03. Got the room for $80 per night on Priceline.
Check-in line was long, but moved rather quickly. Check-in time was three, but they let me check in at two o'clock. Person at desk was very friendly, and gave me a room with a view of the North Strip and the pools. Now, the North Strip is not really much to look at, but it was far superior to looking at a parking ramp or plumbing, and we could see the pirate battle at TI (though it was like looking at ants). Probably one of the best views available at this hotel.
The hotel sent a bottle of champagne up our first night, free of charge. Nice touch. If you need a small fridge, they are available free of charge as well. Coffee makers cost 15 dollars--wish that was available at no charge as well.
Room was in very nice condition, and quite large. Was nice to have the extra sitting area, to relax in after walking long hours during the day. Always feels more decent to be able to sit somewhere besides the bed.
Bathroom is also very large, with all the usual free goodies, including the sewing kit, for those who keep track. Shower and a seperate tub are present, and the toilet is in a small separate room, for privacy. There also is a phone next to the toilet.
The cocktail servers in the Casino are attentive, pretty, and wearing uniforms that are sure to please the men in your group.
I would not hesitate to stay here again.

OUTSTANDING Hotel. Would recommend everyone stay there at least once. The rooms are huge and feel more like mini apartments than a hotel room. We stayed here for 17 nights and didn't want to leave!! The Casino is clean, bright and not smokey like some casinos on the strip. We were in Vegas to get married and when we told the check-in desk they upgraded us free of charge to a room with a view for the entire 17nights. Because we had friends in Vegas for the wedding it was great to be able to invite them (all 10 of them) to the room and not have to have anyone sit on the bed, there are that many seats in the room!! We loved this hotel so much that on our return home we booked our holiday back to Vegas and the Venetian straight away for 2004!!

A very attractive hotel. A bit pricey though. We stayed in the new Venezia Tower suite. We were double charged for our room, even though we prepaid our stay, the front desk insisted that we pay again. Hopefully this will be resolved in the near future. We tried a few restaurants while there and were we dissapointed. Zefferino is very expensive. After checking the wine list we opted for beer. The server was not nice. when the food arrived we could not find any salt to season the fish. I ended up actually going to the kitchen... If you pay over 30 dollars for each dish you should not have to do that. Anyway, even though the rooms were very nice the distance was sooo huge, it made everything very inconvenient. I do not think we will be back.

My husband and I recently visited the Venetian to celebrate our anniversary. When we made our reservations we were given a choice a room with a view (for an extra charge), or a room without a view. We asked, and paid for, a room with a view. What we got was a view of roof tops, and a part of the strip that has no bright lights. The room was fairly large, but not as nice as rooms we have had in Caesar's and Bellagio. For $425.00 plus per night, we expected a better roomm with a great view.
Also, the bathroom was fairly large, but the amenities were more like discount hotels, and the tub was not a Jacuzzi.
Another complaint was the constant barrage of sales people who accosted us anytime we got off the elevator to visit the casino, shopping mall, or restaurants. They were extremely aggressive. After five nights in this hotel, we were sick of them.
In conclusion, the Venetion is beautiful from the outside, but we did not care for the rooms or service.

Great hotel and facilities as well as entertainment.
Make sure to pay a visit to Madame Tussauds (wax museum) if you plan on doing the following things: Madame Tussauds, Outdoor Gondola Ride, & Guggenhein Hermitage (Art Exhibit). Madame Tussauds, although not owned by the Venetian, sells a package for all three at 39.95 a person which is a bargain for the adults! They also sell packages for the other shows like the V show and such!

Have had a suite at Aladin and Paris this year, this is by far the best!!!
This is rated one of the top hotels in the world for good reason. Stayed in the new Venezia tower- had separate checkin on 2nd floor with 10 people in line vs 100 for the regular Venetian rooms. Had an incredible room rate through travelzoo.com Staff was extremely nice and respectful!!! If you appreciate class- stay here! If your tastes are "beer" shirts and base ball caps-suggest Circus-Circus. Shops and food are expensive, but if you are paying regular rates of #300 plus per night, it is to be expected. Was given a room with pool view as no king beds were ready yet at 2 pm. Staff still little confused on directions- if parking in garage- look for far elevators marked Venezia , short cut to garage is to take elevators between Venezia and Venetian towers to ground floor parking, then switch elevators back up to parking level you are on (ask security for help)
Again, if you want to stay in hotel with "class"- this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is my second visit to the hotel this year. The front desks were curteous, and always helpful. I even got a card from them for thanking me for returning visits. The rooms were great, and great value for what you can get. Had to call room service, housekeeping, and front desks and asked for information. All replied with great curtesy and warmth in their tone of voice. A great visit overall.

Everyone seemed friendly and anxious for a favorable experience at the Venetian. The room was great,you didn't get a feeling that some creepy people stayed in the same bed like in some hotels. The clientele seemed upscale and required VIP treatment and they got it. I noticed a man ahead of me in the players club line giving the employee a hard time. She handled him professionally and with a VIP treatment he thought he deserved. She smiled and gave him her complete attention. I noticed this across the board, not just with us, but with everyone. They seemed to be attentive to the highest degree. We ate all our meals in the hotel. The Grand Lux restaurant had two lines, and a little confusion. The line says 5-7 minute wait, but our wait was a little longer. I could see empty tables, and this was the most negative thing about the hotel. I mentioned it to my waitress. Why do we have to wait when these tables are empty? Turns out they were smoking area, and most people preferred non smoking. Ok, but why not give us that option before we get to the front of the line? Anyway, she summonded the manager who came to our table and listened to the complaint. I really never expected this to be escalated and felt alittle embarrassed that I had mentioned it. But the waitress stressed that they want everyone to be pleased with their stay and visit. When we called for our luggage, he brought a door stop. Sure wish we could have had that while staying there. We had a wheelchair and the heavy door manipulation was a problem. He said we could have called the front desk, but we never even considered it. He said there were alot of little extras that we could have asked for. I lost at the slots, too. Didn't know they were bad payers. I should have read these entries before I got there. All in all, it was a great trip and I would go back and hope that the "slots" treat me better.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights..Check was easy and quick..having to walk thru casino with your luggage is not good.. The rooms were large and comfortable although walking into the bedroom part of the suite before the living area is a bit backwards..we had a nice view of the air conditoning units but since we got a good room rate it was no big deal and someone has to look at them I guess..the hotel is beautful..probably the nicest looking hotel we have ever seen. the casino is large and service and dealers were all excellent. Drink service while playing at the tables was great.. the only problem was that everyone is constantly walking thru the casino making it seem very crowded and congested..both tourists and people checking in and out of the hotel with their luggage.. Comps were very fair..very hard to find anyplace to eat here unless you like top of the line gourmet restaurants which we do at times but not for every meal everyday..line at the one moderatly priced restaurant was always very very long.. all in all a good place to stay and we would stay here again if we got a good rate.

My sister and I visited the Venetian and I can't say enough good things about the visit. We were there 4 days and had a wounderful time. The slots are no tighter than any other casino. The service, food, and entertainment was excellent. At least the slots still pay in coin and not paper tickets like some of the other casinos are doing. Bummer--the excitement of Las Vegas is hearing the coins hit the pans. Part of the fun is carrying those buckets of quarters or dollars to the cashier. Venetian stay the way you are.

Would it kill the Venetian to make their slots payout ? They have the tightest slots in town and don't allow married couples to combine their points.
I lost $200 in there. Hey Venetian, use my contribution to improve the lousy free drink swill you give to gamers.

Got my room off of Priceline for a killer price! Room was exceptional and beautiful. Way worth the price! However, the down side is that they treat Priceline customers differently then regular customers! Like, they would not allow me to charge items to my room because I used Priceline!

My wife and I stayed at the Venetian for the first time. Our arrival was greeted with warm smiles and hospitality. The check in went smooth with no long delays. Our luggage was brought up to our rooms in a quick and timely manner. The hotel staff we came in contact with was very polite and helpful.
The rooms are huge and spacious. We had a beautiful view of the pool and the strip. The bathroom is very nice and roomy. At night they turned down your sheets (You have to request this service).
Casino slots are real tight probably better off gambling elsewhere. The tables are good the rules are in favor for the players especially if you like black-jack.
Overall the Venetian is a beautiful property and would definitely stay again.

5/25 Piazza Suite 28-136
I booked this hotel using Priceline for $99. After I got a confirmation number, I called hotel to request high floor with non-smoking room. When we were at check-in, very polite professional receptionist took good care of us. While she was checking us in, she was on the phone for a while and told us she appreciates us waiting. We didn't mind as long as we have a room to sleep for the night. (It was 2AM). She told us that she was able to get us an upgrade to Piazza suite which is double the size of regular room. We were so excited.
The room had double sided door instead of single one. When we opened it, there is a marble foyer and guests bath room on the side. Then there was a dining table and table, and huge living room offering Venetian's pool and Treasure Island's pirate battle lagoon. The bed room had 1 king canoly bed, and the bath room had a Jacuzzi and separate shower and toilet. It was gorgeous.
We wanted to extend our stay, so asked front desk if that is possible.
The receptionist told me that would be $450. Well, we really enjoyed this beautiful hotel and the room. I will definately go back again.

I got a good deal off of Travelzoo.com for a luxury suite at $115 a night. We stayed 2 nights and will never stay anywhere again. I have stayed at many hotels in vegas and this was the best. I could only stay there if there was deal such as the one I got. But if I had the $$ I would stay here on every trip. The service was outstanding. Our bus boy and concierge we very helpful and gave us recomendations for our stay. Great restraunts as well.

My husband and I stayed at the venetian for our 20th wedding anniversary in May 2003. While the rooms were nice, they were not as big as we thought they were going to be. HERE IS THE BIG RIPOFF - Watch your credit card bill when you get home. They tried to stick us with a $91.00 robe fee and a $61.00 fee for the stuff in the refrigerater!!! Three local calls made from the room cost us $26.00!!! You would think with the price you pay for the rooms they would be a little more accomadating and professional. We will not stay there again.

Me and my wife stayed at the Venetian when we got married. We thought the room was excellent and the hotel was nice and clean. It lives up to many expectations that a 5 star hotel would have. You do have to pay a decent amount to stay there. Since there are so many tourists there, it's hard to find attentive service. The service in general was pretty good though.
We also got married at the Venetian. The wedding was nice and everything went well. As for the communication with the wedding department, they had NO clue what they were doing. They weren't sure of how much we payed them and they screwed up all the flowers. Later on, they billed us 2x for the flowers. It seems as thought the hotel is so big that one department doesn't communicate with the other.
As for the casino, it was really nice as expected and quite a pleasant time. Remember that the slot machines there have the worst odds that one could find in Vegas.
All in all, it's a fun place to visit and a great novelty to stay there, but there is much better value on and off of the strip.

THis place is completely overpriced. Its always about $200-$300 a night here, no matter what day of the week is. The suites are nice, but not as nice as what you expect to pay for. The pool area is do not meet up to its expectations. I rather stay at Bellagio than this place. Everything is overpriced and the service is poor.

I have stayed at the Venetian several times for business. The rooms are nice, but everywhere you turn, you are charged for something. I had a FEDEX letter arrive and they charged me $3 (I didn't even have it deliverd to my room...I picked it up). Also, beware of the line to check-in, if there is a convention.

We travel extensively for both business & pleasure. Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful hotel we've ever stayed in. Last September we signed up for their slot club (while staying at Embassy Suites). We lost a total of $65 between the two of us but it did result in them offering a suite for $79. In the brochure, they also gave us $25 restaurant credit and $50 in slot play. Needless to say we jumped at the opportunity. I don't understand other comments about snobbiness & care less attitudes of the staff. Everyone was fantastic from the minute we passed through the doors until checkout. We did take heed of the construction comments & asked to be placed away from it which was no problem. We overlooked the pool area & could see the Mirage volcano to the left & the Treasure Island Pirate Battle to the right. The bathroom is huge so I don't get the previous comment calling them "dinky". We ate twice at Grand Lux Cafe which we thought was good food fairly priced. No, it's not the $1.99 breakfast special at Circus Circus but I have no problem paying $6.99 for a heaping plate of food. We also didn't understand the comment about the pool area being "lacking". I don't know what else you could want. It's located in a very nice garden area with arches, fountains & plants. It has it's own bar & eating area with tons of lounges & service help. We didn't win it their casino but we never take money we can't afford to leave there and since we brought more than half back, I consider it a GREAT vacation!

We stayed at the Venetian in March and the rooms are roomy and spacious. Check in went smoothly but when we got to our room, it smelled smokey. We called the front desk and were promptly moved to another room. We really enjoyed everything about the hotel. The Grande Canal Shoppes were interesting but we didn't spend too much money there. The casino was very nice and so was the Canyon Ranch spa. We are going back in Sept to stay in the new Venezia suites. I can't wait!!

We stayed here because they comped us 2 nights. This was for minial dollar and quarter VP play. Get the slot card!!!!
The air of snobbieness was all around the casino and its patrons. We could have done w/o that, but this joint caters to pompus aholes. This popmus ahole is going again in July because they comped us another 2 nights! Again, for minimal VP and slot play.
If I actually had to pay for rooms here, I'd pass. I could pay a lot less and not get looked down the nose at. Oh yeah... the casino sucks.... continous suffle BJ machines, and a small collection for full pay VP. (mostly in the $1 demonmination_). Overall, a great place... Very clean and very pretty. Not too inviting though, and if I had to pay $$$$ for the rooms, I would surely find something more my speed. (Like the Exalm or NYNY, or Luxor)

If you like snobby people, this is your place. Throw your money in the canal, its the same thing as playing the slots, you never get any back. Snobbiness is even extended to the shops, particulary the Sephora shop. Never been treated more rudely in my life. I'd rather less luxury and more friendliness.

My wife and I stayed at the Venetian on January 26 and 27, 2003. We absolutely loved the place. The rooms are incredible. We booked via the internet for $100 per night. Found the staff to be very friendly with the exception of a couple of fairly rude change people. We played quite a bit in the casino and didn't win much except for a $400 Keno jackpot that found its way into my wife's lap. We had a couple of excellent meals at the Grand Lux Cafe. I highly reccommend the Eggs Benedict. All in all, a wonderful experience. Would definitely stay here again.

Been here before and played so we got a room rate of $79.00 per night. Excellent strip view and all the rooms are two-level suites. Played alot but visited a different Hotel each day for a few hours. Lost with-in our daily means , but that doesn't mean we like to lose. Had one good session at morning roulette and the $5.00 machines were good to me once .I did so poorly one day I just ran out the doors over to Mirage to change my luck. Canyon Ranch Spa didn't live up to my expectations but the herbal-wrap treatment was devine and the massuse was first rate.I thought the jaccuzi was just OK and the products on the sink counters to be nothing special. We ate well and enjoyed both the service and the atmosphere . Got the OK for a late check-out( 1:30pm) and upon seeing a Host - they comped us both the room and food which was a very pleasant surprise. Just goes to show , if you stay in a 4 star hotel , you get treated better. We will return gladly.

the rooms are all-suite, which is cool if you like having a bi-level room. the bathrooms were kinda dinky and detracted from the room. if you visit the Venetian, MAKE SURE YOU REQUEST A ROOM AWAY FROM THE CONTRUCTION... you might consider hiding a $20 bill between your ID and credit card when you make that request, it is well worth the investment.
my room was facing their parking structure construction... which made sleeping not-possible. however, I was able to get a decent rate for them on hotwire... if you see a 5-star place with ratings about the spacious rooms that's them.
the casino games played fairly tight and almost all were $1 or higher. I joined their slot club and have been sent some decent offers in the mail from them. i will be going back in may and will report again.

Besides the noise of the parking garage construction starting at 4-5am, the uncaring attitude of the unprofessional staff, lack of any entertainment, overpriced eating establishments and the ultra tight slots and video poker machines this is your best bet. Not to mention pretentious overpriced shops. Bring comfortable shoes, everything is a good healthy hike, even to the elevators. We had rooms comped, even for free it was not worth it. But if you want and overpriced john boat ride in a public sewer...........you cant go wrong.

A really good looking hotel spoilt by a lack of attention to detail and a couldn`t care less attitude.
Staff did not seem to be bothered about providing a decent service.
Beware of the building work which starts at 0300 in the morning.
Rooms look good, but if you have no ice bucket be prepared to wait three hours to get one....
An hotel with great potential but spoilt by the attitude of staff. Also stayed at the Golden Nugget during our stay, a third of the price with friendly, enthusiastic staff..

Stayed here for $99 a night for three days, got this rate of their website. This is a first class hotel and I will be staying here again. The rooms are big and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is very nicely done and has plenty of room for two people to use at the same time. The rooms were very clean and all the service people in this hotel were very friendly. I had room service for breakfast one morning and it was delivered at the time requested and very hot. The food was excellent and I highly recommend this to anyone.

We stayed at the Venetian for a few days with our kids. I was very pleased with the service from the moment I was greated by the friendly valet staff until I checked out. During this trip were in our van with a rasied roof. I was pleased to learn that the valet parking was free and I did not have to park the van in a back parking lot far away. That has been my experience at other hotels. The front desk staff was friendly and fast.
Our room was beautiful. We had a view of the mountains east of vegas. The bathroom had marble floors, counter tops and trim. It had an oversized bath tub and a glass shower next to the tub. The room had a large comfortable bed, a sunken living room with a soft sleeper and several comfortable chairs. The room was so large it even had two television sets.
Another thing I liked about this Hotel is the in room safe is free of charge. I really hate when you stay at a nice HOtel and they nickel and dime you with extra charges here and there. That did not happen at the Venetian.
We enjoyed the time we spent at the pool. The pool at teh Venetian is above the casio floor. I really like this planning. It is really nice to be able to access tha pool area with out having to walk across the casino floor in your swim suit like some other Hotels. I was suprised how many people brought theirkids wih them. This was evedent in the pool area. There is more then one pool at the Venetian. On the day of our visit families were at the NOrth pool. I did not see any signs it just kinda worked out that way.
The closest thing I would have to a complaint is acctually a warning. The items in the refirgerator have sensors on them. If you remove them your room will be charged automatically. One of my kids picked up a disposable camera and some candy. We replaced the items and one call to the front desk corrected the issue.
I am looking forward to my next trip to Vegas. I will return to the Venetian.

First visit to Vegas and the Venetian was a nice experience! Very nice rooms. Very large and beautiful bathrooms. Staff was very accomodating. Stayed for 3 nights. The first night we checked in, everything went quick! Nice valet parking. We were up to our rooms within 20 minutes of arrival. They tried to get us to upgrade to a room with a strip view for an extra $35 a night. We declined. I'm almost sorry I did, because when we got to our room we had this great view of....a parking garage! :( To top it it off, we were woken up the next morning at 6am by the sound of hammering and construction. This lasted for 2 hours! (They're adding some more floors to the parking garage) I went to the lobby and asked to be moved and they were more than happy to accommodate me. They put us up in a a room with a view of the pool and strip for no extra charge. Pool area is a little lacking for a hotel of this quality but should not prevent you from staying. Casino was very tight! Would reccomend you gamble elsewhere. Grand Canal is beautiful and very romantic! Shops are very expensive, but I guess that's Vegas! Nice restaurants! I highly reccomend Postrio!

My husband and I loved the Venetian. The all suite rooms are very luxurious. When we checked in I asked what my choices were for rooms mentioning that I'd like high. The clerk was very nice and said that there were rooms available but if I wanted a high view I had to wait until 5:30 for one to be cleaned. We waited and had room 23-234 with a view of the golf course(which you can barely see) and the mountains. After I saw the room it wouldn't have mattered if I had a view or not. The living room area is large and the bathroom is a minisuite in itself. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. It was the cleanest room I have ever booked. It is just like the pictures on their web site. The room is very luxurious and extremely quiet. The disadvantage is that is takes about a half hour if you want to get to Las Vegas Blvd. You have to go down through the casino and shops. We tried going different places for breakfast but found it took too long to get around so we just had breakfast in the Grand Lux Cafe every morning and were very pleased. The security at the hotel is good, checking keys to enter the elevators and checking photo ID with every charge.The pools are just square but the area surrounding the pool is beautiful. There were too many kids for me as I had read that this hotel was not family friendly. It looked like all families. There is a food court but too crowded.The casino was always full and we had as much luck there as any other casino. The drink hostess was always in the area.

The room was very large and well equipped with fax/copier, minibar, 2 TVs, safe, robes, etc. The hike to the strip was exceptionally slow because the place is crowded with gawkers. Restaurants: Canaletto-good food, slow service, noisy inside. P.S. Grill-good food, average service, best bet for lunch. Grand Lux-large portions, excellent variety. Canyon Ranch Spa is the best in town. Pool was unspectacular considering the rest of the hotel.

Although we did not stay at this hotel, we decided to eat there for lunch---I wish I were kidding when I say that as we sat down to eat at Cafe Lux, my husband and I ordered two sandwhiches. A little while later they were served to us-I began to put the tomato and lettuce on my hamburger when I noticed green worms on my plate-It was the most disgusting thing I have ever experienced. After almost vomiting and loosing my appetite, we called our waitress over. She got the manager involved who seemed suprisingly "not suprised". She said they had been noticing those worms a lot lately-not the thing to say-they offered nothing for this horrible experience, and said "they understood if we didn't feel like ordering anything else". We were very excited to experience this hotel-but now would not think of going back, which is unfortunate. We would not advise anyone go to that restaurant, if you eat at any of them.

I stay there every time I go to Las Vegas. Rooms are very nice and love their casino. Have stayed at others out there and this is by far the best! First class with great restaurants. The only complaint I have is that the room does not have a coffee pot!!!! I have to bring my own pot. Other than that, I have no desire to stay anyplace else. I usually go out on the free room offers from the Players Club, but I have paid a couple of times and it is still worth the money.

I stayed at the Venetian during the summer of 2002. The rooms (all huge suites) were luxurious and spacious - I was bowled over. If you want luxury, you get it at the Venetian. The service is impeccable. While waiting in the (short) line to check in, my boyfriend and I were offered (free) drinks or bottled water. Upon checking in, we were upgraded (for free) to a suite on one of the highest floors, with a fantastic view of the strip.
The suites are extremely spacious. Upon entering, there is a marble-laden hallway with a large table and mirror. The bathrooms are enormous!!! His and her sinks, an etched glass shower, and a separate large soaking tub, along with a makeup table, all dripping in marble with gold accents. There is a separate water closet with the toilet and a phone! In all honesty, the bathroom alone is bigger than some hotel rooms I have stayed in in Vegas.
The sleeping area had a king size bed, with a lamp on either side, and two reading lights in the ceiling. The bed was very comfortable, although I have to say that the pillows were extremely flat and lifeless. My neck was sore the first few days after waking up. Inside an armoire is a large 27" television, and the closet was spacious and lighted, with mirrored doors. The sleeping area is separated from the sunken living area by a wrought iron railing.
Stepping down the carpeted steps into the living area, there was enough room for a good sized table and two chairs (all Thomasville furniture, by the way, high class stuff), a sofa, a love seat, a large 27" television, an armoire,a workdesk with phones and dataports, and a mini bar, along with a few tables and lamps thrown in for good measure. I know this sounds like a ton of furniture, but it was all spaced out, and the living area was very roomy, not the least bit cramped (I am telling you ladies and gentlemen, the suites are HUGE!).
To top it all off, there was a huge window with a fantastic view of the strip. We ordered room service, and it was right on time (if they tell you 30 minutes, it will be there in 29). To our surprise, the waiter laid out the table in the sitting room with a linen cloth, fine silverware, the works. The service was very attentive and extremely friendly. If you enjoy having people kiss your butt, this is the place to stay.
Just a few side notes, since people reading this review probably care about the practical side of the room as well as the whole "experience", the water pressure is very low in the shower, room temperature extremely easy to control, beds comfortable but pillows flat, and service excellent. Overall, a great place to stay if you want to really get away and revel in the lap of luxury, but if you are budget minded, may be a bit expensive. You definetely get your money's worth. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. Hope this review was helpful.

I love this place! Great restaurants, casino, service, and rooms. The only problem I have with the Venetian is the clientele. After a few nights, I became very annoyed every time I sat down to a table to hear baby boomers talking about their portfolios. That kind of thing really brings down the "Vegas Experience" for me. But I guess that crowd brings in the money, so what can I say? Other than that, great hotel!

From the moment we entered, all staff whether in the casino, hotel, shops or restaurants, were polite, helpful and friendly. Our room was great, far better than in any other casino/hotel we've stayed at. (One little peeve - there should be some way to turn off, at night, that darned light on the step going down into the living area.) The bed was very comfortable, as indeed was the entire suite. As for dining, something for everyone whether it's fine dining or fast food - a number of very fine restaurants in the casino and Grand Canal areas, and fast (but good) food in the casino, and a fast food court with everything from Chinese to pizza to hamburgers leading to the Grand Canal. You may think the exterior of the Venetian impressive, but wait till you see the interior! There are also some good lounges and exhibits. We didn't ride in a gondola because the lines were so long but just wandering the Grand Canal area and watching the gondolas was a relaxing experience. When we visit again we will definitely stay at the Venetian!

Stayed at the Ventian because it was business and money no object. Tipped the clerk $20 for a view of the strip looking towards the Mirage. Got to the room and it faced the other way towards the Stardust. I should have gone back and demanded my $20 back.
The casino is very difficult to find your way around in. They don't want you to leave. Parking is a very long way away and Valet is very slow. Casino has only $15 tables after 5:PM
I was not impressed by the pool area also. Very little charm about it.
The hotel did have its good points though. The rooms were great, very large and beautiful bathrooms. Spa is excellent but expensive. No buffet which made me go elsewhere to pig out. Waittress' were the best in Vegas, they all seemed to centerfolds.

Don't take this wrong, this is a beautiful resort and it should be "visited" while you're in Vegas...however, I wouldn't recommend staying there.
The beautiful room and the great housekeeping service do not make up for the rude and inept front desk staff and through what they put me.
I checked in on Sunday for two nights. I was to have a room at a casino rate of $99 (slot club thing) with a possible upgrade to comp if I gamble more (heaps) in their ultra-tight casino. I expected to pay the $99
Upon check in, the clerk informed me that the room was comp and that he needed a $200 security deposit to cover expenses. I obliged. (I figured they made an error in my favor). I also had a credit card on file.
Well, I didn't gamble very much at the Venetian. Went out and about during this trip. The first night was great (but, the sheets on the bed were rough on the skin). Second day, enjoyed breakfast in the cafe and went out for the day (dust storm and all).
Got back late (about 3:AM), exhausted. Long walk in the garage, from the garage elevator to the rooms elevator, and again to the (almost end of the hall) room, to find that my key didn't work. Now, I'm sure you know the feeling...the closer you get to the room, the more your body is ready for bed. Well...back down the long hallway to find a house phone. Called the desk. Was informed that my presence was required at the desk before the room could be unlocked. I told them I would appreciate being let back in and would like to handle it in the morning...they insisted I come down. (Did I mention that the desk is about 17 miles from the elevator?
I arrived at the desk and waited while two clerks ignored me and third was busy with a guest.
In short, (to spare you all the details) they informed me that I was downgraded to a $99 casino rate and that my credit card didn't go through. I presented the card again and like magic, it went through. Hmmmmm... maybe they should've checked it twice before LOCKING ME OUT!!! Or, maybe, charging me for the room at check in and reimburse me if I loose enough money in their STUPID CASINO!!! Sorry, didn't mean to sound like Regis.
The supervisor acted like a bloomin' robot throughout the entire conversation.
She did not give me new keys; rather "we'll have them sent up right away". After another 17-mile hike through this place, I met the security guard who let me in my room, but did not have any keys. He said, "We'll have them sent up right away". I really really wanted to sleep and stayed dressed and exhausted waiting 25 minutes for the f*@!&$#g keys. Got to bed at 4:45 (I know it's Vegas but I had to drive back to LA later that morning)
After a nap (had to get up by check out time) I called the desk and asked for the rooms division manager. They needed my story before transferring me to the next level. It took two transfers (yep that's three story tellings) to get to the top. She was a nice robot and comped the room.
Well, that's just a little too much to go through for me. This is a cool resort with much to see and I will most probably "visit" it again. I'm still partial to the Stardust's very friendly and human staff, their loose casino, great slot club and short walks. Read my review.

I visit Vegas 3-4 times a year and have stayed at most of the stip hotels. Usually I stay wherever I get the best rate but the Venetian is one hotel I will gladly pay over $100 per night if I want a more luxurious stay. The hotel & the rooms are stunning and I have always had excellent service. I get the whole luxury experience without the pretentious feeling that the Bellagio has. I think the Venetian is the best of the finest hotels on or off the strip.

I didn't stay at the Venetian, but gambled there a lot. The staff was excellent. Crap tables and blackjack dealers were very friendly. Cocktail waitresses were always around and young and pretty (love their costumes!) The pit bosses were accomndating and also quite friendly. Spent quite a few hours in the sportsbook. Free drinks were great...can't get that in every casino sportsbook. One of the tellers at the Sportsbook was grumpy....he was reading something and it was like I was bothering him. He was an older guy. Which reminds me of the pit bosses next door at the Casino Royale. They, too, were grumpy and I won't go there again. Maybe these older people who are grumpy need to retire. Anyway, the Venetian is full of younger energetic workers who want to be there. It is more expensive to play and stay there, but if you have the money it's quite fun. If I have to spend/lose money, the Ventian is a great place to do it.

Came back a few days ago from a five night stay at The Venetian. We arrived on a Friday and although there was a bit of a mishap with our reservations, the lady at the check-in counter was very nice and apologized for the misunderstanding. We were given a room on the 27th floor with a great view of the strip. The room was very spacious and clean, although some of the furniture showed a few signs of age. Housekeeping did a wonderful job every day and I have no complaints. The guest elevators/rooms were VERY easy to get to from the parking garage and I definitely appreciated that.
The only drawback was that on a couple of occasions, we could hear the people in the next room talking and it got a little annoying since they would get up at about 7am each day. Other than that, my fiance and I had a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay there again in a heartbeat, BUT, only if I got as good a deal as I did this time ($99 per night). I recommend the hotel very highly it is beautiful to walk around, the rooms are very comfortable, the staff is courteous, and if you get a good rate, this place cannot be beat.

My husband and I stayed here for his first trip to Vegas - What a treat ! Our room was beautiful, the bathroom was fabulous! I recommend that you ask for a room with a view of the strip, otherwise you may end up looking at the roof of the Sand's. We arrived in the morning, and were informed that check in would not begin until 2:00 p.m., but they graciously checked our luggage. When we came back to check in, the line was very long, but it went very fast. Bell service was great, except when you get outside to pick up your luggage to leave, good luck getting someone to stop & help you. Overall, a beautiful hotel that I would highly recommend if you are going to splurge.

Received a flyer in the mail late last year from the Venetian. $99.00/night with a second night free. Can't beat that! Room was great. Plenty of room to stretch out and be comfortable. When we were in the room, 2 TV's worked out well (Soaps for her, movies and sports for me) :) As for the rest of the hotel, lots to do and see. Ate at Canaletto's...food was so-so. It was fun to watch and hear the Godoliers.
We would definitely stay there again.

Received an e-mail from the Venetian offering $79 for the nights I was planning to visit, and also offered 2-for-1 dinner in a couple of fancy restaurants, and $35 spa credit at their fancy spa. When we got there, a freindly bellman loaded up a cart and took us inside, where he dealt us of to another man who promised he would look after our stuff at the baggage desk while we checked in. Thirty minutes later, we came back to where he was supposed to be, and found nobody looking afer our luggage which was a good 15-20 feet from the baggage desk. We decided to take it to our rooms ourselves, and were surprised when no one even noticed we were dragging off this baggage cart loaded with at least 15 bags! When we got to our gigantic rooms we discovered that there were some momentos left for us by the people who stayed there the night before. Melted, dirty water in the ice bucket, and used soap and washclothes and shower mats in the bathroom. we called the housekeeping and informed them of this, but they seemed to not be to worried as the dirty water was still there when we checked out three days later. The next night, my wife had run back up to the room to grab the camera when she discovered our room door was open. The housekeeper had left the deadbolt on after she had cleaned the room, and who knew how long the door had been like this. She found nothing weird about the room, but called the housekeeping department just to be safe. We never heard from anyone about this again. On our last night, my wife returned to the room again to find a baggage cart full of luggage sitting in the middle of our room. We were amazed that whoever had brought this cart up had not realized that the room was already occupied1 This is what he does for a living afterall. She called the frontdesk and they came and got the bags. (I hope they finally got to the right room.) When we were going to leave the hotel, we called for a bellman to come up. My wife expressed concern for our bags because of our first habd experience of their talents, and the bellman started spouting off something about how "this isn't the motel 6 mam, we do it right" and some other rude things. Overall, the hotel was unbelievable, but the staff seemed to be a bunch of rookies with little patience for the customer. By the way, we had to remind the man at the checkin desk to give us our free dinner voucher, and after some confusion over my credit card, I forgot to mention the spa credit, and so did he, so we never got to use that part of it. Restaurants were good, especially Grand Lux, but it was kind of pricey for diner food. Postrio was excellent, but still $75 with tip AFTER our 2-for-1 certificate. Beautiful hotel to say the least, but this can be seen by spending a couple of hours there. Rooms are awesome, but in Vegas, do you really need to 27 inch TV's and a den? Stay here if your loaded, or if you get a smoking deal over the net like we did.

Great place. Never stayed at a better place. Got some good rates in January. If you can stay here during the off season it is well worth the money. Rooms are incredible and the service is second to none! Didn't eat in the restaurants.

Wow! Fantastic rooms and very spacious, beautiful baths. The casino is huge, lots of variety, and the payout not too bad. Good variety of restaurants. The Grand Lux Cafe is really nice, not too expensive, and the service was great. However, unless I had received a special promotional room rate, I probably would not have stayed at the Venetian - too expensive! They've just got to come down on their rates if I'm going to stay there again. It's really a nice place to stay, but I'd rather put my money into the casino, where I'm going in the first place to have fun!

I stayed at the Venetian for New Year's 2002. I felt I had reiterate what a great property this is. Check in was very prompt and efficent. Also, the lobby is a knockout piece of architecture that really draws your attention from the moment that enter the hotel. The attention to detail in this hotel is absolutely wonderful. The hand-painted ceilings and the Murano chandliers say class. Also the property is in a wonderful location, right across from the Mirage. I stayed in a Prima Piazza Suite. This was a major step up from the regular room. It was 1,600 square feet and had a fully stocked bar, two bathrooms, four televisions, a monsterous bathroom and a knockout view of the strip. I was on the 35th floor. The casino is very nice, however, the Bellagio's is the classier of the two. The service is unbelievable. I called and asked for some extra towels. About two minutes after I recieved them, I got a call from the front desk asking me if the towels arrived in a timely fashion. That's service. Even the pool attendents go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of. The service and the beautiful room are what are going to keep me coming back and back to the Venetian. This casino is simply the finest Las Vegas has to offer.

We received an e-mail offer from the Venetian post 9-11 and it was too good to turn down. We usually go to Las Vegas in early December so we booked for the third time at the Venetian.
We like the large rooms, with the living room arrangement a bit separate plus the service is great.
The restaurants and room service are excellent and the casino, for the first time, was generous to me. My husband likes the pool/hot spa area.
This is a glorious property, a feast for the eyes. If you like paintings, the Hermitage collection is a bargain and a wonderful treat.
Mr. Adelson, you are a genius. Airport security was not that lengthy and quite reassuring. We flew in with a bunch of rodeo guys from Texas. Everyone was looking forward to a great week and it was great to get to the Venetian and walk down that wonderful domed corridor with the beautiful ceiling plus the fabulous Christmas decor. A budget note - there are some weeks when the usual rates drop substantially in Las Vegas. If you can schedule travel during those times, you not only save on the hotel cost, but you don't have to fight large crowds or conventions.

My boyfriend and I stayed for several days at the Venetian, and we had a wonderful time. It has to be the most beautiful place that I have ever stayed at in Vegas. No complaints.

I liked the amazing shops and the room. THIS IS NOT A KID FRIENDLY PLACE. Only stay here if you have no kids. We had to walk through the casino to get to our room and we were told by every security to get our kids out of there NOW. THAT WAS NOT NICE. Make sure you kids are also out of arms way of the mimi fridge in your foom. One of ours picked up a snickers and put it back, well when we went to check out they said we had a extra room charge of $4.25 for the snickers. Dont get charged for that snickers you did not eat. Because they will try! Also on the internet it says all rooms have a sunk in living room. WRONG. Also
Make sure you dont get a back room we were facing the new grage they were building so we were cheeted out of a great view.

This is a beautiful hotel, although I don't feel it is as refined as the
bellagio. It is lacking in warmth and character. The layout can be
confusing at times, too.
I don't recommend this hotel because the staff was not very helpful in any
situation. We were met with a series of staff disappointments during our
stay. The biggest problem we had was a $$ situation, and simply put, we
felt we paid too much.
There was also a rental car scuffle, where they offered a $30 car...then
when we got down to the desk the only had a $55 car, but after I threw a fit
suddenly a $30 car became available. Sound fishy?
On our last nite, we received a $15 comp for a restaurant. When we went
to use it, the comp was denied. It took them 40 minutes to resolve the
problem, speaking to manager after manager. It was only $15 for
heaven's sake!!!!! If this casino is that cheap, after you have played
hundreds on their tables...well let's just say I won't be putting my money
back there any time soon.

The Venetian is a beautiful Hotel & can't say enough about the rooms. The size & ammenities were impressive. The bathroom has a double sink so while hubby shaved I could brush teeth...also liked the separate shower & of course really like the privacy of the commode behind a door of its own. Only disappointment was the makeup mirror....light was awful, but everything else about room was great. Was not impressed with check-in, man behind the counter was quite rude & very curt, not overly impressed with pool area but then we are not really into pools. Would definitely stay at the Venetian again & would highly recommend a stay there to anyone.

Nice place to visit and walk around but a terrible place to gamble. Machines are sooooo tight they sqweek. If you want a drink while you are playing-forget it. Nice eye candy but for me Ill play downtown or a locals casino. If you want to be seen this is the place for you-otherwise not a place to risk your hard earned money. Do see the wax museum it is quite impresive!

My wife and I stayed here for one night (our honeymoon night). Check in was a breeze, the room was perfect, and above all the bedding is superb! All of our requests were taken seriously and handled professionally.

Only real complaint is that we asked for 2 beds and only got one.
