We went to Las Vegas for my wife's Birthday and spent the weekend at The Venetian Hotel. We are not big on gambling but love the night life and excitement that Vegas has to offer. This place is absolutely beautiful and has such wonderful atmosphere with great Italian renaissance elements everywhere. Our room was upgraded free to beautiful suite with all the amenities you would expect in a five star resort. We walked around the strip and found it to be not as exciting as it used to about 10 years ago. The strip is dirty and full of people trying to sell you stupid things and not family oriented. But we took a walk for the experience and to take in the lights and excitement. We quickly decided to return to the Venetian to have dinner inside the resort. I will strongly recommend this hotel for Vegas you will not regret it and of course we plan on coming back soon.
