After having gone to Italy the past two years, once for vacation and the other time for or honeymoon, the venetian was a nice little reminder of those trips. Now that I have seen the real thing I can really appreciate all the detail that went into creating this hotel and casino. Now the Venetian isn't the newest kid on the block but overall I still think its one of the best places to stay and eat along the vegas strip. Food recommendations include the Yardbird for chicken and waffles and Bouchon for breakfast and pastries.
