The first time I stayed here was with my wife. I usually stay at the Palazzo side of the Venetian, but the rooms in the Venetian are just as nice as the Palazzo. I guess the Palazzo has a slightly fresher feel to it since it is newer. You get the same awesome strip view. We were on the 36th floor which was incredible. You really get your money's worth staying at the Venetian. The food there is awesome. There's fine dining and also places that will not break the bank. The shops are fun to walk through. What else can I say? I've stayed here a bunch and still having touched everything yet. Definately check out Tao nightclub if that is your sort of thing, and Tao beach is very chill. I consider the price moderate for what you get. It's one of the more expensive places on the strip, but you are getting your moneys worth for sure.
