The Venetian is a little cheesier than Bellagio and Mandalay Bay, but if you like gaudy and want the best hotel room in Las Vegas, the Venetian is your place. They also improved their entertainment offerings by recently signing Blue Man Group. Their restaurant selection is among the best in the world (make sure to try Bouchon).
Our only knock on the Venetian is the casino, which is sub-par. It is small and spread out, but the dealers are great, as you would expect.
One of the main attractions of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas is the shopping. The Canal Shops are great, and offer many high-end stores to satisfy your shopping needs.
Another great attraction at the Venetian are the gondolas. Small boats with singing gondoliers are a real crowd pleaser. Even if you don't want to pay for a ride, you can stand around the canal and watch the show.
Overall, the Venetian is one of the best hotels in Las Vegas. The rooms are the best in town, the lobby is incredible, and the shopping and atmosphere make up for the sub-par casino. We reccomend Venetian for your Las Vegas trip.
