| - This past weekend my boyfriend and I stayed at the Venetian, we flew in from MD on Thursday early morning.
I had made our reservations months ago and had let the concierge know that we would be arriving around 1030-11:00am. I knew check-in wasn't until 3:00 but they asked me anyway.
To our surprise when we walked up to the front desk, our room was ready. They said that the note in the computer helped us guarantee we'd get an early room if possible. I was thrilled!
They let you use your room key as a credit card throughout the hotel as well which came in very handy so I didn't need to travel around with many credit cards.
The hotel was gorgeous. If you haven't looked at pictures of the room, be prepared to be impressed. Sunken living room, vanity in the bathroom, stall shower, flat screens? It was great.
The Canal shops make you feel like you're walking around outside in Italy. Gondola rides indoors AND out. Tons of restaurants, fast food courts and drinks! High end shops as well as the usual gift shops.
When I made the reservations the woman who helped me said "we have everything- you don't even need to leave our property." I didn't believe her at first. She was right!
They also have Phantom, Jersey Boys & Blue Man Group all within the hotel.
I definitely won't stay anywhere else in Vegas again. Can't say more good things about this place!
*Tips*
I requested to be near an elevator (most resorts in Las vegas are HUGE and you might be walking a mile to your room - no exaggeration!) this ended up being great.
Like I stated earlier, I let them know what time I was getting to the Venetian, in case a room was ready. They can also hold your bags if you get there before 3am so you are free to explore.
Take the Executive Las Vegas shuttle from the airport. 6 bucks each way, and Venetian is the first stop/last to be picked up. Located lowest level of Baggage Claim by Door 1/2.
