| - I went to the Venetian for my first stay in Vegas. This was the ultimate couples hotel/resort, but then again, I didn't try any of the other places. (but seriously, this one did it for me- hands down) I loved the Venetian!
We got to the hotel at about 11pm at night. The place was buzzing with people and it was surprising to see how many people were arriving just at 11pm. The front foyer of the hotel is absolutely beautiful and clean. Another plus: you can't smell the stale scent of cigs and carpet cleaner from the front desk. So we checked in then we went up to our room.
The casino does smell funky, but you really can't smell it past the elevators. The horrible smell does not travel far. We got to our room and I was so happy. We had a standard room with a king-sized bed, but for a standard room, it was HUGE! (and absolutely gorgeous). Marble floors in the bathroom, his/her sinks, deep soaker tub, stand-up shower, separate toilet room, vanity, gigantic bed, recessed living room with an l-shaped couch... just way too much to mention. My view wasn't great, but honestly, I didn't care when I could sit on the windowsill and just stare at my room. It was ahhhhhhhhhhhmazing.
The place was just so nice and clean. The bed was beyond comfortable. There was a little ottoman-looking thing at the foot of the bed. I don't know... just too many things that made me happy. I did NOT want to leave!
I also got a chance to swim in the pool. It was really nice and very clean. Lots of seating and it had great sun exposure since it was on the roof. Will be my go-to hotel in Vegas!
