Welcome to the Venetian – the exact copy of the resplendence and charm of Venice! Founded in the heart of the Nevada desert, this mega-resort is one of the most stunning and spectacularly beautiful hotel complexes in Vegas and the largest property in the US to receive AAA’s Five Diamond Award and Mobile Four-Star. The $2 billion luxury hotel leaves out nothing. Combining many well-known Italian landmarks, such as St. Mark’s Square, the Dodge’s Palace (the most impressive building in Venice), the Rialto Bridge (the main 400-year-old bridge crossing the Grand Canal in the middle of Venice) and the 300-feet high Campanile, the hotel offers a world-class shopping center, a variety of Italian-inspired restaurants, attractions and more.
The breathtaking façade of the Venetian is transformed into the famous European city, Venice. The ceilings are painted like the Sistine Chapel. The fabulous old world frescos decorating the walls are simply amazing. Also beautiful are the pools resembling the fountains of Italian palazzos.
The hotel boasts of 4,027 spacious and elegantly designed guestrooms (3,014 in the main tower and 1,013 suites in the Venezia tower) with modern facilities and amenities that will leave you exclaiming ‘Bellissimo!’ The 120,000 square-foot casino is where guests can play at their hearts’ content; all the most popular Vegas table games, state-of-the-art video poker and slot machines, the hottest mega-jackpot machines and this is just the beginning.

Other facilities include fitness center, on-site shopping, boutiques, complimentary valet parking, business center, five-acre outdoor sundeck and more.
Gondola Rides

These perfectly replicated gondolas will venture out for a glorious lake cruise, complete with costumed singing gondoliers introducing passengers to the romance and beauty of Venice, Italy. They will take you through the canals, underneath bridges and beside sidewalks. There are both indoor and outdoor rides for visitors to enjoy.
