Stayed at the Venetian for the first time last weekend and had a blast!
The hotel staff was outstanding. Prior to arriving, I requested that my King suite be placed next to my friends' Bella suites, if possible. Staff immediately accommodated this request. When I checked in, the front desk staff already had my request noted in their system and put me next door to my friends. I also requested a few items, such as a cork screw, throughout my stay and the staff delivered within minutes.
Love the fact that TAO Nightclub and TAO Beach are located at the Venetian. We had guest list to TAO Beach and it was easily one of the better Vegas pool parties that I've been to. My group had fun at TAO Nightclub...probably because it was less crowded than usual. Or maybe it was the fact that the DJ didn't make my ears bleed by playing non-stop EDM. Either way, it was fun.
I probably would give the Venetian five stars if my suite had a damn MINI-FRIDGE. Come on, even most Motel 6's have one. I thought I had found the mini-fridge, but I was informed that it was actually a "refreshment center." What the hell is a refreshment center? It's something that looks like a mini-fridge, but only holds hotel beverages that charge to your account if you slightly move them.
Would I stay here again? Probably.
