| - So, I roll into town to enjoy the SEMA show in Vegas. My admin booked a suite at the Venetian, where I have never stayed before. It was mid morning, and there were two attendants at the check-in counter, not counting the Japanese only section at the end of the counter. There were only 4 people, me included standing in line to check in. I waited for what seemed like hours!! In reality, it was only about 30 minutes, but come on! this wait took forever, and nobody seemed to be in any kind of hurry at all. Once I did get to check-in, the attendant was very nice, and processed my transaction very smoothly. I can't figure out what the long wait was all about. The other people trying to check- out were really getting ticked off.
One more thing about the Venetian... bring a compass, gps, bread crumbs, or something. The signage and floor number system is completely worthless! Everyone I met in the hallways was vainly searching for their rooms!! Its apparently so bad that they hired people to help with directions, but they were more lost than I was! Twice I was sent completely around the facility when my room was actually just around the corner.
I don't believe this place is nearly as well run as many less expensive options in Las Vegas, and I don't think I will be coming back.
