I think I've moved on from the Venetian. While it is still a very nice place to stay at, the last 2 times I've been, I was a little disappointed in overall upkeep. I mean it's nothing bad compared to the 3-4 stars on the strip but for 5 star price, you expect a certain 5 star quality. I found the carpet to be a little dirty and the concierge experience a hit or miss. I would call to ask about getting on the club guest list for Tao and one person would say no and give me attitude and talk about how it's a busy weekend and nothing is free. I would hang up and call back and the next person would be totally nice and add us to the list. Weird. Also another weird thing is they charge you to bring you hot water. I thought i remember them having coffee pots before.
Encore is my new love. Good bye forever.
