I have just returned from my first trip to vegas, I can not get over what you get for your money, I stayed at the Venetian hotel and booked through lowcostlasvegas.com, they were doing a special offer on a stay of 4 nights or more. This hotel had everything, it was ideally located on the strip, food was good in the restaurants and the check in very slick. I would recommend this to anyone, I think they have so many big hotels in Vegas that they must be trying to shift rooms as for the same money you would have a job to stay in a Travellodge in the UK!

I was blown away with the beauty of the Venetian from the suites to the public rooms. The restaurants were lovely and modern and even the casino was pretty. The meeting rooms and ballrooms were fabulous too. The staff were professional and very accomodating and did a fabulous job of hosting our company's annual event. The only two areas for improvement would be the overuse of fragrance used in certain areas of the building and some of the hotel-catered food choices. For a sensative nose, some areas within the hotel were overly fragrant. Also, some of the food items catered were underwhelming. The actual restaurants were terrific though. I would reccommend this resort for any personal trip or company-sponsored event. I would definately stay there again.

I was very pleased with the service. I just hit the priority button on the phone and my request was met. The only problem I have with the venetian is that all of the good chairs at the pool are gone by 8 - people come and put towels on them to hold.
This shouldn't be allowed.

We went to the Las Vegas for our annual family trip and that was mistake number one. There were young children with us on the trip and the noise and odd smells really threw off my nieces. Mistake number two was choosing the Venetian...

It started off badly as soon as we stepped into the hotel. There was an odd smell about the place. It was like we were nuzzling the bussom of some skanky rich elderly lady. I don't know what scent they were trying to cover up but whatever it was, when mixed with the perfum, it just plain STANK!

Our family requested that our rooms be close together, and they said they could do that. When we went to our rooms we found out that although the room numbers were close together they had put us in different towers! We then called the front desk and they told us that we had to go back to change rooms. We had two kids that were already cranky and hot from all the traveling, but they didn't care. They told us to leave our luggage in the incorrect rooms and let their concierge deal with it for us. We were moved into the older tower which stank even more. The beds were lumpy and the carpet condition rivaled that of a motel that charges by the hour. After waiting for the concierge for 5 hours we called them and that was when they told us we had to go and get the bags ourselves! A security guard had to come with us to make sure that we didn't nab the toiletries that were provided to guests in the new tower, but not to guests in the old tower.

It was difficult to sleep at night due to the noise level in the hotel. You could hear doors banging and drunkards staggering back to crash in their rooms at all hours of the morning. During our second night in the hotel, my brother had had enough and opened his door at 4am in the morning to tell them to please be quiet. The first words out of the noisemaker's mouth was, "Don't call the police." He then proceeded to ignore my brother's request. I felt like I was back living in my college dorm-- except for the perfumed smell. In the three nights we were there, I managed to see vomit, blood pools, and discarded food in the elevators.

The swimming pools were AWFUL!!! The main pool was packed with people and debris from the poolside cafe could be found in the pool. The Venezia pool was much quieter, but it was teeny-tiny. Again, there were lots of debris to be found in the pool, but at least in this one it was just natural debris such as leaves and drowned insects. The hotel description of "idyllic Venetian garden" and "gorgeous" just makes me laugh.

Because the nightclub Tao is located in the Ventian, every night the hotel gets an influx of scantily clad jail bait and men so oiled they practically slipped and slid into the hotel. Security for the hotel guests consisted of a security guard in the hallway checking for room keys. So, anyone who picked up a room key could theoretically be allowed to wander around the hotel! I don't want to know if they did.

It was a terrible experience and I would not recommed it to anyone.
