Stayed April 3-7. Room was large and well appointed. Bathroom was awesome. Hotel was clean and staff very friendly. Restaruant fare was very good. One drawback is the distance from check in to the guest elevators and rooms. Housekeeping had to be called two days in a row to clean room which was done at 7p.m. Pool is acceptable. Overall it was a nice stay. For the money we spent I would probabaly stay at the Wynn next time.

Just returned from a 3-day (Thurs-Sun) trip.

Bottom-line: Everything was excellent.

Stayed in the original tower in a newly decorated room. They are outstanding. 3 Flatscreen TVs (two large ones in the living/sleeping areas and a smaller one in the bathroom). The updated decor is nice (not all the “rust” color of the original rooms) and the bed was very comfortable.

The automatic shades on the window were cool and the room darkening curtain turned it into a pitch-black cave at night (we slept-in the first morning until 1000 AM and didn’t even know it was light outside).

Very freindly and helpful staff.

Fantastic experience…of course the fact that I was comped made it even better.

Will definitely continue to stay at the Venetian as they have earned my business.

Great rooms, great service, great deals!

Joined the players’ club at the Venetian while staying at another resort. Played moderate amount during that visit ($1000 or so). Asked for comps while there and was told “sorry, not enough play”. I figured they were tight so I left. Shortly thereafter (and ever since) I started receiving offers for 2-3 free nights with other comps (slot credit, food, etc…) regrularly. Have stayed in the hotel in the regular suites (twice) and in the Venezia towers (twice) and never paid for a single night!

Found the rooms to be outstanding (Venezia the best) and my wife, who used to insist on the Bellagio will now only stay at the Venetian.

I usually gamble $2000-3000 during a trip which is barely noticed at most high-end casinos but I’ve actually been assigned a personal host at the Venetian who has been able to hook me up with free suites whenever I’ve needed them.

Can’t wait for my next visit in July!

We’ve stayed at the Venetian every year for the last five years. Outstanding in almost every respect. Huge, comfortable (well-ventilated) casino. Table games used to be $15 min. but we saw a few $10 tables last time. The slots area has taken a hit so they could build a poker area. Wide variety of food (though much of it is a bit pricey). Public spaces (like restrooms) excellent. Staff has been usually very helpful and pleasant, though we did hit a couple “clinkers” on our last visit. If you’re looking for “deals” this isn’t the place for you.

This hotels is the best in LV. I’ve stayed here few times, business & pleassure and wouldn’t go anywhere else. As soon as you walk-in this hotel, you feel welcomed just by the way it smells througout. The rooms are awesome, especially the Venezia rooms. My luck has been on my side in this hotel as well so try yours! Food at grand lux will be worth your time so don’t miss out. Overall a five star and definately a good place to stay.

Rooms are very nice, they are finally starting to give good service again with turn down, but stingy with the chocolates. The gambling is horrible, but if your looking for a nice room its a good place to stay, but save your gaming for another casino. The comps are not rewarding, I think Adelson is putting his money into the new addition & Macau. He better start realizing the general public is helping him build and start rewarding better. We got better offers from other hotels & we are Gold Card members, the more we spent the less we got.

This Hotel is one of the best ones on the strip, you get a good view of the Mirage volcano and the Ti show. The lobby is out of this world and the rooms were perfect. This hotel should be a 5 star. The pools were not that great maybe an extra one would be good. Can’t wait till they open the Plazzo

This was my second time staying here and I must admit it this is the best hotel in LV. The staff is extra friendly and helpful. The hotel is exceptionally beautiful and the food at Grand Lux was excellent. I won 7k after only gambling 2k, my luck here was excellent. The room is huge, very clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was luxurious. I was a little disappointed with room service but other than that everything was great. Will definately keep coming back here!!

We stayed at the Venezia Concierge Level at the Venetian in 2004. We will never stay anywhere else in Vegas. The service was wonderful. Most of the complaints I have read in this review are regarding the main hotel and the less expensive restaurants. I think you get what you pay for. The Venezia concierge was incredible. Got reservations to booked restaurants and great tickets to a sold out show, all while we waiting in the lounge drinking champagne, mixed drinks and appetizers, all included in the price of the room. This experience used to be reserved for big gamblers, which we are not. We are just willing to pay for excellent service, accomodations and food.

Have stayed there twice. First in a venezia concierge suite which was fantastic, great strip view(cost $100 a nite extra though) and the bathroom is the most luxurious(better than bellagio penthouse)ever. Second time was a venezia bella suite which is exactly the same apart from the walk to the room which was twice as long as you dont have the concierge elevator. Mustnt grumble though as you can work off all that food. i love the smell in the venetian, so fresh and comforting and is by far the best hotel in vegas.

My family and I stayed at the Venetian last August. We originally booked the Venetian Luxury Suite but upon arrival, I asked if we could be upgraded to the Venezia Bella Suite. The woman who helped us was very friendly and made every effort to please us. Our room had a lovely view of the Venezia Pool Deck. I found the room to be very clean, spacious, and luxerious. I admit I had my doubts after reading many negative reviews. We had dinner at the Grand Luxe Cafe. The food was worth the long wait and the service was very attentive. I am only 18 but I had more fun than my parents did. (They don’t care too much for gambling.) I had so much fun shopping and just admiring the grandeur of the resort. The only complaint I have is that a lot of walking is involved!. I didn’t mind because I was in ecstacy the whole time.I highly recommend it to anyone unsure of a hotel destination in Las Vegas. It was an unforgettable trip!

Nasty views, 3 block walk to casino, dirty room upon arrival, should take more care of hotel and rooms within, instead of increasing size and creating bigger problems, size is not the same as quality. Am going back to the Bellagio, tried this hotel for a change, not worth it!!

This Resort is a great place to visit and admire, but staying there is probably not something we’d want to do again. The place has frequent convention crowds there and it always had a hectic feel. Cafe had long waits for seating and overpriced food. Parking is a nightmare. The drive-around front is a bad place to be also. The rooms are quite nice, tho’.

We had an excellent stay here in July. Were on a corporate trip with 3 other couples. Hotel desk clerk worked hard to get us 4 rooms on the same floor and all together. She was tipped accordingly. (after the fact) Staff at all the restaurants, spa and salon were excellent! I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting vegas looking for upscale ammenities. Wasn’t wild about the casino though. Table limits were high and slots were tight! But the Casino Royale was great and just next door! EXCELLENT TRIP!!

The rooms are huge. It’s wonderful to have a separate step down seating area. Having 2 tv’s is also nice so you never have to fight for the remote. The bathrooms were pretty large, but they did need some touching up…I noticed peeling paint and nicked furniture. They have 7 or so pools, but they’re nothing to write home about…plenty of chairs for lounging. If I can get a room for under $200, I’d stay there again. I’m not sure it’s worth $200+ for me.

We stayed in the new Venezia tower and were just overwhelmingly impressed! The private elevators, the exclusive express check-in, the gorgeous lobby overlooking the beautiful gardens and fabulous pools, the marble hallways lit by gas lamps! It was all just wonderful. The bathroom was fantastic – HUGE and oppulent, with no wasted space. Ammenities were wonderful. The room was very tasteful and high-end, without feeling stuffy; it was VERY comfortable. This is true class that is not at all over the top like the “class” at the Bellagio. We have decided that it will be VERY difficult to stay ANYWHERE else in Las Vegas from now on…

I read these comments before leaving and was afraid of what to expect. Well, I should have been! First when we checked in there was no bellman in sight so we had to lug our bags through the casino to the tower. Upon arrival the mini bar was empty and had a coke that was half full in it. Racked up $50 charge just looking at the stuff (it measures the weight and charges accordingly even if you put it back). That charge was taken off after being on hold forever. However, it took a day for it to be restocked and the half full coke was stuffed back on top so when you open it, it fell out, more charges! I believe mini coke bottles were $3.00 and if you get one downstairs expect to pay $2.25 for a coke. Bring some in your bag.

I was also charged $9.95 a day for hi-speed internet even though this is an advertising point for them. The price isn’t mentioned anywhere in the room or in the guest services book so I had to complain to get the charges removed. I was told anything that wasn’t an amenity wasn’t free. At the rates they list I think I could at least make a local call free or plug into the internet. The only thing that was free was the safe, ironing board, iron, and hairdryer. If you forgot your shaving cream or razor buy it from the mini bar because that is the only way you are getting it.

Upon departure I called the bellstaff. We sat around for 40 minutes, no one came or called. So we called back and they hadn’t even sent anyone up and said they didn’t know. I guess the lady who asked how many bags I had just happened to answer their phone when I called the first time.

We did get a $50 food credit at the cafe for the problems and a later checkout, but the time spent on the phone straightening out the bill every day put a dent in our trip. The free Cafe service was also so-so. The service was incredibly slow and the excellent couldn’t make up for the slow kitchen.

The hotel is gorgeous on the outside and the rooms are nice, but expect wear and tear as mentioned. The beautiful carpet was thoroughly stained. The taxi stand staff is excellent and the grand canal restaurants are wonderful. The casino definetly lacked energy and the slots were incredibly tight. In the end you get the feeling it is all a facade so just stay somewhere else and pay the Venetian a visit for photo ops.

Stayed here in 99 shortly after they opened. Room was very nice. Service was excellent. Fixed a problem with our AC lightning fast and even offered to move us if we didn’t want to wait the five minutes it took for them to fix it. Pool area was beautiful and very large and surprisingly uncrowded as we stayed there in August.

I was very lucky to get an upgrade to a Piazza suite for no extra charge. The receptionist was very polite, and professional and she made some quick calls to get us an upgrade which I didn’t even ask. I reserved a room using Priceline for $99 and got a massive room. It was the most luxurius room we ever stayed. We really loved the hotel.

Probably the best standard suite room in town. Large room with a California King bed, armoire with 27” television with a variety of cable offerings, you step down into the living room where there is another television, sofa and chairs. A small desk with a chair, telephone that has a data port. The bathroom is separate with lots of marble. Two vanity sink, soaking tub with jets, separate shower and the toilet is in its own room with a phone (if memory serves correctly). The banks of elevators are well laid out. If you have bags, valet the car and check in from the front entrance. Parking in the garage and bringing your bags with you to check in will be like hiking to the moon and back (yes, it’s that far). Valet service works well. Great rooms!!!!

Large rooms with a step down “livingroom” area, but not a true suite, there is not a seperate bedroom. The bathrooms are also large, double sinks, soaking tub (no jets), make-up area, etc. My problem was with the check-in clerk, poor service to say the least, so bad that I will not go back. Just so everyone knows, this not sour grapes, my room was comped up-front & even with the clerk knowing that, I was given poor service.

Filthy dirty room—bathroom had mold, stains on the upholstery, too many problems to list them all. Took 3-days and many phone calls to get the room cleaned. Terrible service throughout the hotel—rude staff members too busy to help. Change people eating in their booths and less than helpful. Don’t pay extra for the view—it’s of seedy hotel roofs. Massive construction going on—bring ear plugs. Rude Player’s Club staff—small rewards and conflicting information given out. Horribly dirty casino and restrooms in disgusting condition. Had a horrible time and the Vice-President of Hotel Operations was uncaring and refused to make ammends for ruining our vacation.

Very nice, large room. They aren’t exactly luxurious, but they are well appointed. This is a very nice facility. The staff could use a considerable amount of training in customer service however. The staff here was not attentive and were on some occassions quite rude (to their defense, they did seem quite understaffed). I won’t likely stay here in the future because of the indifferent attitude of staff.

This in my opinion is the best Hotel in Vegas. The rooms are great, best rooms in Vegas. The Bathrooms are nice and big. We have stayed there twice and have also had a good view but I am sure there are bad views. The service has been great on both stays, you could not ask for better service. The Casino is nice, the slots seem to be very tight but you can find a table game even for a low roller like me. Always have fun playing there. Overall would love to stay here every time if I had a Big enough budget.

Venetian is currently building 1000 more rooms over the parking garage…if you are as lucky as we were and are assigned a room directly across from this..expect no sleep beginning at 5 am….the construction begins and booms through the rooms..especially around the 10th floor…you are better off with any room in any hotel rather than one of these rooms.

This place cares for nothing but your money. They suck you in with a show of opulence and style but it is essenitally just a fascade and way to take your money and your property.

We stayed here for our anniversary in October and lucked out with the $59/nite rate!
The room was absolutely gorgeous. We loved the size, the bed, the bathroom. We loved the lobby. Unfortunately, that’s ALL we loved about the Venetian and I doubt we’ll ever stay there again. The people there were so snotty and rude to us! The check-in woman was extremely unpleasant and the hotel concierge screwed up a surprise that we were supposed to have delivered to our room from our daughter. There were no apologies. I’ve emailed them since our return several times and still nothing!! The walk to our room was very lengthy, and the hallways in the hotel seem like miles!! The staff was very impersonal. We had a horrible view, when I specifically asked for a nice view for our anniversary celebration. The whole thing left a bad taste in our mouths and next time we’ll be trying Bellagio.

I returned as mentioned in my previous comments. It held up to further scrutiny. I gotta say I love this place. The facility, staff and service are great. It feels more relaxed than the elegent Bellagio (which is honestly great, too). But going to the Venetian is like coming home. The pool has been unfairly maligned. I agree with the criticsm that its shape is hardly inspired, but what do you really want in a pool? Service, quiet & attractive landscaping. Possibly a place to do laps. All of these things are present here. Yes, I did stay at Mandalay Bay. Sure, there’s the wave pool (1 wave every 3-4 minutes, hardly the ocean) and the river pool. But these things attract lots of kids and hence a lot of noise. Not what I want when I’m trying to relax. Based on the pools, if you’ve got kids, go to the MB, if you want quiet-go to the Venetian, or the B.

Stayed here in March. Stayed in Penthouse suite @ Bellagio just a few days ago. For the price (and good prices can be had—subscribe to the Venetian’s email notification service), this is a great value. No, the rooms are not quite the suite one might expect, but they are quite large and tastefully, if not elegantly, appointed. Shopping at the Canal Shoppes is more realistic than the pricey boutiques of the Bellagio. There is no buffet at the Venetian. I’ll be going back to Vegas in 2 weeks. Since my wife won’t be joining me, I’ll be staying in a “regular” room—Venetian is my choice, hands down.

I expected the room to be larger having read all the comments about it being HUGE. The rooms were an ample size for a suite, very comfortable. I would recommend. We were disappointed that the bath didn’t have a jacuzzi but the view compensated for everything. We were on the 30th floor and looked across Treasure Island towards the Strathosphere. The window is so large that the rooms is light and airy and you have super night/day views. The service was faultless. We were treated like royalty for the entire stay by all the staff.

Just wanted to add that the only bad service that we had was at V-Bar. The staff there were very unfriendly. One of the women behind the bar snapped at my husband ‘make your mind up will you.’ I had a chipped glass so I asked for a replacement and a fresh one was slammed down on the counter with no comment. I can see why there isn’t a rating section for this bar!

Maybe because it’s on “sacred ground” (i.e., formerly the Sands, which we also loved). We plan to make this our home away from home on all future visits.
