LOVE LOVE LOVE this hotel! I have stayed here every time I go to Vegas and have never been disappointed. The rooms are impeccable and the service is outstanding. The last time I went, my friend and I arrived about 3 hours before the check-in time and they still let us into our room!
The atmosphere in the Venetian is amazing! What a fun/elegant feel that takes you outside of Vegas and into Italy. The location is wonderful and is right next to a Walgreens so you can pick up some cheap commodities such as souvenirs and bottled water.
I loved the pool at the Venetian, and Riva by Wolfgang Puck is a must for breakfast purely for the atmosphere. The drinks by the pool are AMAZING as well. Don't forget to try the Spiked Bellini.
Overall, this hotel definitely deserves a 5 out of 5 stars. It is a bit more pricey than many of the other hotels on the strip, but worth every penny.
