Another one of my favorite hotels in Vegas.
Rooms: They rooms here are ridiculously huge (as in more than 500 square feet). They have multiple TVs within one room: one big screen TV in front of the bed and another in front of the living room area. Their bathroom is also ginormous and has a TV in there as well.
Casino/Shopping: Great selection of stores that has something for every budget. If you stay in the Venetian side of the resort, the stores are in a centralized area. Once you start meandering into the Palazzo, they get scattered around. Nice poker room as well but it's not as busy as the Bellagio.
Crowd: Good mix of people. I felt safe for the most part but the crowd is a lot more louder than the Bellagio
Gondola Ride: Worth doing once. It's not cheap but if you can't make it to the real Venice its worth doing. They also sell these stuffed monkeys dressed like the people who row the boats. The monkeys are quite cute and I recommend picking one up.
Restaurants: They've got a good mix for varying budgets ranging from Emeril's restaurant to a food court.
Spa: Canyon Ranch Spa is here and wonderful.
