Every room a suite — the standard, tested
The Venetian's founding promise is scale with polish: every room a suite, roughly 650 square feet even at standard level, with the sunken living room, dining table and work desk the guide film tours end to end (its tableside Caesar salad and bananas Foster dinner earns the service praise to match). A renovated-rooms stay adds the current state — the host rates the casino the Strip's best for slots right now — with crowd and convention noise as the standing cautions, and Palazzo as the quieter escape next door.
The two towers, walked separately
The complex is too big for one film, so this page splits it the way the hosts do: a Venetian-side love letter from the creator who calls it the best hotel in Las Vegas (filmed in 2020, corridors unusually empty — an advocacy piece, framed as such), a billiard-suite stay that locates the gondola ticket office for you and compares showers unfavorably with Palazzo's, and two Palazzo-only films: a full 2024 walkthrough from the Sands Avenue entrance (Mott 32 and the restaurant row mapped) and a methodical 2026 suite review, price stated, that notes a Venetian room refresh expected later in 2026.
The night out and the time capsule
One film finds the resort's secret: dinner in St. Mark's Square, then the 1923 Prohibition Bar — a speakeasy with burlesque and a live pianist taking requests, hidden where most guests walk straight past. The closer is history: a staycation filmed in late 2020, as the news broke that Las Vegas Sands planned to sell the Venetian and Palazzo — the sale later completed (Apollo/Vici, 2022) — savoring the place at the end of the Sands era, sports book's 10-by-100-foot screen and all. Our gondola page covers the canals themselves; this page is the resort around them.
