| - Thanks for the Memories !!!
My hotel of choice, partially biased by the memories of my best trips to Vegas happening when I stayed at The Venetian, is of course The Venetian.
I like this for so many reasons:
1) They are adjacent to many good restaurants
2) The clientele is a good mixture of eye candy and people one can say "aren't obnoxious knuckleheads" that you'd see at a few other spots in Vegas.
3) The proximity of the location is perfect on the strip, walking distance to the heart of the strip, which I consider from Bally's to the Wynn.
4) The rooms are spacious, as every room, as they say, is a suite.
Overall, I prefer The Venetian over the Pallazo, Wynn, Encore, Mandalay Bay, Aria, and the others I think are in the same style and price range.
*) Interesting note about their customer service. In one breath, they're great if your cell phone battery dies, you can leave your phone to get a free charge, which is a convenience many don't know about. On the other hand, once, when I left, I'd left a pair of prescription eye glasses in my room, checked out of the hotel, and called them that day to inquire, and they seemed nonchalant and didn't seem to put much effort to instill confidence in me that they even attempted to look for them or had any white glove treatment follow through to confirm or deny with a courtesy status update. So, I'd give that a coin toss.
Also, on a side note, I thought I heard a story where the security at the Venetian years ago once mistakenly mistook a high roller's daughter dressed up in typical night club attire hanging out at the hotel for a hooker, which caused a major issue, so going forward the management supposedly turned a blind eye to avoid making costly assumptions, so that's why you might see more girls selling their wares than other hotels... urban legend and myth or ? There's only one way to find out... j/k
