I love this as much as I love the Palazzo. Love the rooms and LOVE the atmosphere (minus the tourists, but they go everywhere) and Bouchon is BOMB. Phantom of the Opera is the best, I've seen 3 times. The original Venetian shops were Burberry, Jimmy Choo, and Lior. I love Lior but i'm not sure if it's still there because even though I've stayed there recently, I haven't been to the Venetian forum shops because I hit up the Palazzo's Barney's. Love Barney's. Anyways, love the Venetian. I love the pools. You can also buy swishers in the 10th floor lobby. A great hotboxing hotel! All the rooms are suites, as well. Classy atmosphere, I like this better than the Bellagio, that's forsure.
