| - The Venetian is a really gorgeous hotel to stay in. It's crazy trying to find your room in this massive hotel, but writing your room number on your hand may help you keep from getting lost.
The rooms are beautiful. They are a semi-suite, with a living room, that is separated from the bedroom by a step down versus by a wall. The living rooms are equipped with desk with a multi function fax/printer as well as a flat screen tv and a comfy couch. One bummer is that the refrigerator is full of stuff you have to buy, so forget putting your own drinks in there. But, on the bright side if you want super overpriced snacks and drinks, you got it!
The beds are very comfy and they come with robes and slippers... and another tv in front of the bed! The bathroom is huge with a separate little room with the toilet. They are equipped with both a shower and a tub and come with some decent toiletries and I personally found the towels thick and fluffy.
The pools at the Venetian are nice, but not super exciting. Tao day and nightclub is right next door, so you can hear the tunes from there, but the regular pool is large but with no extras. Best part is TONS of lounge chairs around the pool and off in little areas, some shaded, some not. There are two large pools and one large jacuzzi. You can also walk over to the Palazzo pools and they have a little more variety over there. While we were here last, only one of the pools was opened... kinda a bummer because it was a LONG walk from the pool that was open to the jacuzzi. But, it was all good. Hot day, cool pool. LOVE!
The casino is large with a huge selection of games. Really big poker room - YEA! One of the bartenders at the center bar is freaking awesome... I don't know about the others. Wish I'd gotten his name. The Property (along with the Palazzo) also has a great selection of restaurants/bars, shopping, and shows.
It really is a fun place. Definitely sign up for Club Grazie and spend enough gambling and you can hang out in the Gold room. HOORAY! Love the gold room... snacks, drinks, quiet and private bathrooms.
Overall, I enjoy this property. I'll be back!
WHAT CAN THEY DO TO GET FIVE STARS?
It'll never happen. The prices are too high, they charge a resort fee which just pisses me off and that filling the fridge with crap you have to buy is a serious pet peeve. But, if they changed that, well... I'd go FIVE.
