The Venetian hotel is definitely a beautiful hotel. My husband and I stayed here during our most recent trip to Las Vegas and we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our hotel room.
Apparently all of the rooms at the Venetian are considered suites, we got the most inexpensive one. It was still fairly large. The bathroom had a separate tub and shower, two sinks and a separate room for the toilet. The main area had a king sized bed and then a couple of steps down led to a generous living space, with a sectional sofa, desk and fax machine and a small breakfast table. The room also had 3 TVs: One in the bathroom, one facing the bed and one in the living area.
The hotel hasa large shopping area (the Grand Canal Shoppes) and along with its sister hotel Palazzo, has a TON of restaurants. The Venetian also has some of the most popular shows on the strip, including the Blue Man Group and The Phantom of the Opera.
The only thing I have against the Venetian was the location. It's at kind of the northern end of the strip. Since all of our friends were staying at Planet Hollywood, it was a good 15 minute walk to get down there. But I'd say that's a very small negative; even with that, I'd love to stay here again.
