This is not what Venice really looks like, effin' liars! Nevertheless The Venetian is charming, and beautiful and elegant, and just might be the next best thing. Everything about this place is perfect, and you can see that just by walking around.
Rooms are huge, a bit pricey, but not extreme, and the service is impeccable.
Even if you can't afford to stay in the hotel, or you'd rather stay somewhere less expensive to save for other Vegas-adventures, you can still enjoy what The Venetian has to offer, even a gondola ride. The shops, well, that really does remind me of Venice somehow. The canal, the gondoliers, the sky-painted ceiling. There is a bit of Venetian magic there.
