I have always liked the Venetian, many marvelous memories over the last 15 years. There has been some revamping and lots of new additions but the basics are still intact, gondolas, day and night sky, some of the old restaurants, the noodle house, the suites are fabulous, very large and ornate and great VFM, sometimes you can grab them for under $200 a night. New slot machines and a good crowd. One of the first choices when selecting accommodation.
