Great place with awesome suites, and awesome enterntainment and environment. Plenty of wow factor in here, with a great selection of restaurants etc, but the casino action is not that great when compared to newer Palazzo, Wynn or Bellagio.

With the addition of the Palazzo next door, the pool area is becoming too small for the resort. Construction always going on here, but this is Vegas I guess. The newest building being constructed over the pool area gave off enough noise to frustrate even the most relaxed guests. Perhaps the entire pool area should be pumped with music like the neighboring Tao beach directly under the site.

Checkout at 11am? Are you joking?

Tip: Do not call and ask for extended checkout , they will give you a song and dance on the phone and tell you no! Go down to the front desk and for $75 they extend your checkout to 6pm.

So much to do, and with some of the better suites in Vegas will book again.

I had to book an extra night in Vegas do the American Airlines flight cancellation problems. I had been at the Palazzo and decided to try my luck at Priceline. I was happy to get the Venetian as it is so close, and I did want to see how it compared to its big new sister.

Overall, I was very happy with the Venetian. I was really quite surprised on how similar the rooms were to the Palazzo. Okay, I did notice a little wear in some places but the room was overall really quite good. The worst aspect was the shower which was definitely showing its age with sinking tiles and black mold (?) in some places. I really did have to look though to find some rough spots.

The other thing I didn't like was the lack of sound proofing. It was very easy to hear what was going on in the hallway -- thankfully the noise didn't keep me up during the night.

I didn't interact a ton with the staff but check in was great and the bell staff was also very good. No complaints at all.

The other thing that I liked about the Venetian was its broader appeal. They have tons of restaurant that span a nice range from food court style to high-end. I thought this was really nice and was impressed by the food court. I would even consider coming to it for breakfast in the morning next time or snacks during the day.

Even if it is showing its age a tad. The Venetian really is a gem with some very unique and creative aspects. The place has a personality which I really like.

I'd try it again at $200 a night - my priceline rate.

WE recently stayed at the Venetian and could not fault one thing!!
The suite we had was amazing, the staff were fantastic, the hotel is gorgeuos and the resturants are Excellent. We loved everything about it and we have stayed in alot of places around the world. This has been one of my favourites.
Look out, we bumped into Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber while we were there.
I would recommend the Tao Bistro and Club if you like funky house and great Thai food. Pre book a table then get your hand stamped to get straight into club to avoid the Huge queue outside.
5 Star *****

We stayed at the Venetian for my husband's training school at the Venetian. A business trip for him, but pleasure for me.

The suite was above and beyond expectations. Oversize marble bathroom off the master bedroom. With plenty of office area and dining room area. Living room with plenty of places to sit and relax. But we spent a lot of time sitting around the marble bar enjoying family members visiting from Treasure Island. Another half bathroom with marble as well. Huge hallway and double door entrance.

The staff was very friendly and helpful any time we needed help. Check in was quick and easy. Arrived early due to direct flight only at 10:30, arriving before noon and was given our room immediately. Check out was just as quick and easy at 8am.

Loved the self parking garage for easy in and out abilities.

The variety of choices in places to eat within the hotel was great. Breakfast as cheap as 5.25 for 2 eggs, hash browns, bacon, toast and coffee freshly prepared while you wait. To full blown breakfasts.

Pool was beautiful, though we didn't check out the spa as it was an additional charge of 35 just to use the workout area.
