| - I recently stayed at the Venetian for 2 nights with some friends right after New Years and I must say it was very nice! I had found a deal for $130 a night for a luxury suite so it was a great price for such a fancy hotel.
So we got a bit lost in the casino with all our luggage because the place is ginormous, but once we found the hallway to the front desk (which was beautiful and made me feel like I was walking in a palace), everything was right as rain.
The lady at the front desk was very nice and helpful. She gave us our room keys and a bunch of coupons (such as free drinks to some restaurants, free admission to the LAVO nightclub, and even 2 free tickets to see Phantom of the Opera!). We also went to the concierge's table to check out other things to do during our stay. In addition to giving us some good tips and tricks, the concierge also gave us more coupons and more free tickets to nightclubs. NICE.
The rooms themselves were very nice as well. Everything was nice and clean. The bed was huge. The extra pillows, towels, and blankets we had asked for were sent quickly. Housekeeping was also very quick, though they came a lot earlier in the morning than we expected (about 9-10am).
As for the actual hotel itself, the casino is huge and the decor is beautiful. The Grand Canal Shoppes are also very pretty with a plethora of restaurants, from a simple food court to really nice high end places. The town square would have shows with costumed staff every hour and the echoes of the gondoliers through the shoppes made me feel like I really had stepped into Venice.
However, some downsides:
- none of the TV channels had any signal. My friends and I attempted to watch some TV while we were relaxing between outings and none of the channels worked. Almost all of them said "weak signal" and when they had signal, they would freeze while it searched for signal. Though I suppose if you aren't going to watch TV anyway, it wouldn't be a big deal.
- the light switches were very inefficient. There was no master light switch so each light had to be turned on and off separately. Also, none of the switches had any type of label so we had no idea which switches did what. Some of the switches did nothing as well, which was annoying.
Overall, I had a great experience at the Venetian. The hotel itself is beautiful and aside from the few small details that bothered me, I would recommend staying here.
