Venezia At The Venetian

I stayed here for business.
DISCLAIMER: I didn’t realize that Venezia is essentially one of three towers owned by the same org. Other reviews mentioned a dedicated reservation desk; I saw no such. I checked in at the Venetian, and they put me here.
Its location is ridiculous, as others have noted. But the real issue is signage. It’s confusing. There are terms used on the signs that don’t match terms people say. So someone will tell you «go across the bridge» and there’s no sign talking about a bridge. (it’s actually a breezeway that doubles as a bridge, between Venetian and Venezia, and is IMO the fastest way to get between the two towers). The other issue is the elevators are all sparse and use confusing button terms. So the towers in Venetian will tell you that they’re taking you to the «Venetian Lobby» — that’s fine. But there’s nothing in the elevator indicating exactly where you need to go to get to the «Venezia Lobby». Vice versa on the Venezia elevators. What I’m used to is, «Venetian Lobby, access to Venezia Lobby», or something similar. Not here.
If I had a warning, I would say to stay away from Venezia anytime there’s a boxing event. This particular business function is scheduled right during Mayweather’s fights, so you can imagine the nightmare that ensues. Tons of people, drunk people, stupid people, etc. The Venezia gets literally beat up — someone had peed in the hallway and they just put a fan out there to dry it out. NO! You need to get a steam cleaner ASAP to get it up off the floor, THEN do a dry when it’s been cleaned and odor removed!
You’ll have teen girls sitting out barefeet in the hallway blocking access, laughing and chatting at the top of their lungs (which of course reverberates into the rooms) all through the evening.
Heaven help you if any of these teen girls or even 20 somethings get a room next to you. It’s not fun to have their 20 something male buddies banging on the door at 3am. Nor is it fun to experience their music literally vibrating the walls. It IS moderately funny to watch them nearly injure themselves running into closed elevator doors because they’re so drunk.
I would STRONGLY recommend requesting a full linen replacement before you sleep in that room. In my case, while the bed was made and the sheets and pillows appeared clean, they all smelled like… well, imagine what you’d end up with if some basketball player went straight from a game, skipped the shower and went to bed. That’s what it smelled like, even the pillows. Not good at all.
Whatever they wash towels with, I’m assuming they don’t use soap or wash powder. They smell rancid and unclean, even after you request replacements.
WiFi kept throwing auth errors — even though you don’t need a password.
Verizon 4G, though you can get signal, is unusable. It simply won’t work.
In-​Room Dining is a price nightmare. You’ll see a price for $ 19, but then there’s a «delivery charge» of $ 5, «service charge» of 18% and tax of just under 10%. So you’ll get very close to $ 30 all told and that’s NOT including a 20% tip (which you really should do at this kind of place). One plate I recall was over $ 60 just for the food — ordering that would have been high side of $ 80! For ONE plate of food, just some seafood and a steak!
No coffee maker in the room and none for breakfast unless you buy a full pitcher. Why?
THE GOOD:
WiFi is part of the resort fee. There’s a card that swears you’ll be billed; technically this is true but it’s not per-​hour or whatever. You’re charged the resort fee anyway, use the WiFi all you want, and you don’t need a password.
The room does look nice, with decent furniture.
Shower was comfortable and heated up nicely. Unlike some others I experienced (Omni Parker, I’m looking at you).
Sound isolation from outside was about 95%. This is excellent. (too bad the inside didn’t fare so well.)
What I did try of the in-​room was actually very good. The brie cheese was nearly perfectly creamy, the fruit was reasonably fresh, and I really should have listed to the server. He swore up and down that I wouldn’t be able to finish two club sandwiches, and he was absolutely correct. They’re massive and delicious, but I simply couldn’t finish more than one. Too good. I guess the days of eating two medium pizzas by myself are long gone. The only thing I got that was «meh» was the porchetta, and only because I’m picky about it. But the antipasto — which I found out later was the «sausage and cheese platter» that Omni Parker serves — was actually good. Didn’t smell like a gym locker, tasted good. Didn’t finish it because there was just too much to eat.
The In-​room servers are the shining stars. Excellent service, polite and will go out of their way to accommodate you.
If you stay here, just keep an eye on your wallet and the noise levels, I guess.

Long story short: I booked a room with 2 queen beds months in advance, we check in the hotel late so they only had one king size bedrooms available. The lady said she will upgrade our room for free to the Venezia tower which is suppose to be a lot better & more expensive. Honestly, these rooms at the Venezia tower are not any different than their regular rooms. There’s absolutely nothing special about them, I seriously thought this was a joke. The size of the room is either exactly the same or a little bit smaller, they don’t even have an L couch at this hotel, and there’s not even a TV in the bathroom –_​– how is the Venezia tower room suppose to be an upgrade compared to their regular rooms? It seriously puzzles me, it was literally the same room, maybe even smaller! Definitely felt ripped off!
I called the front desk all pissed, complaining here and there because I was seriously dissatisfied. The lady at the front desk was really nice, so props to her for not losing her cool with me because I was super mean. They said they could have us change to queen bedrooms the next morning, but seriously, who wants to unpack, pack, and unpack again all in a matter of 12 hours?! Of course we just stayed in the king size bedroom because there’s no point if we’re only staying two nights.
It also takes forever to even get to our room in this tower, it’s a waste of 7 mins of our precious time to be honest. You have to take like 2 different elevators just to get to the room. The only good thing about these towers is that it’s close to the front desk, taxi line, and valet line.

My husband and I stayed in the Venezia Tower over the 4^th of July weekend. We booked our reservation through Costco which allowed us to use the VIP check-​in section (a very nice feature as the line to check-​in was very long) and a complimentary continental breakfast at the Grand Lux Restaurant.
I really enjoyed our stay. Our room was big and the bathroom was very nice. I like the big bath tub as it came in very handy when I needed to soak my sore legs from all the walking that I did. The king size bed was very comfortable. I also noticed that there were 2 TVs in the room — one in the living room and the other in the bedroom section. From our room, we had the view of the High Roller and the airport. When we checked in, the clerk asked if we wanted to upgrade (for a fee) to a room with a better view, but we declined. I liked the view from our room anyway.
Parking at the hotel was free so that was a nice perk given that I’m used to paying for parking at hotels in a similar caliber.

The Venezia Tower at the Venetian was okay. The rooms were just like the rooms at the regular Venetian Tower. The difference would be the décor being a bit older in style, but it still looked nice (Not as nice as the Venetian Tower). These rooms feel like a downgrade from the Venetian Tower because they have missing features like DVD players and TV’s in the bathroom, which I don’t really care about, but these rooms were built way after the Venetian Tower rooms were. Given that these rooms are newer than the already luxurious regular rooms, this is disappointing since you would expect something even better. All of those complaints will bring this 5-​star room down to a 4-​star room.
The ultimate flaw that makes this room lose another star is the convenience. This hotel is really far away from the casino and most of the main parts of The Venetian hotel. To get to your Venezia Tower room, you must take an elevator to the 10^th floor of the Venetian Tower. You then have to walk through a hall until you get to a restaurant in which you will see elevators to take you to the Venezia Tower. So basically, to get to the Venezia Tower from the casino, you must take 2 elevators before going there.
But here’s a tip, at the parking garage’s 3^rd floor (Hotel Lobby), there are 2 elevators at the end of the 6 elevator bank which leads you to the 10^th Floor of the hotel, but you still have to walk a little more to get to the Venezia Tower elevators. This is less walking, but you still have to take 2 elevators to get to the Venezia Tower rooms. So basically, the Venezia Tower is on top of the parking garage.
I would say, «Screw The Venetian and The Venezia @ The Venetian and stay at the much newer and better, Palazzo hotel, which is owned by the same company that owns these 2 hotels.»

This three star rating is in comparison to the regular five star rooms that are available at the Venetian. The Venetian advertises this tower as better than the regular tower, but I’m not buying it.
We stayed in the Venezia tower for three nights last month. While it was nice to be on a separate wing of the hotel instead of having to walk through the casino, that was about it. The layout of this tower is very odd and it’s like a maze. You have to take two elevators to get to your room, and walk very far through many hallways. I can see someone getting lost after having too much to drink.
The rooms are nice, but not as nice as the regular Venetian tower. They don’t have the big sectional couch like the regular rooms, and the blinds aren’t electronic either. The bathroom doesn’t have the TV in it.
I’ve heard the private Venezia year round pool is amazing and gorgeous, but it was closed for construction while we were there so we could neither see nor use it.
While it’s still much nicer than any room on the strip, I’d stay in the regular tower next time. How disappointing!

This was my first trip to Vegas and so happy my boyfriend chose the Venetian as our hotel. From start to finish I have no complaints. For being the massive hotel it is the check in process was a breeze. Our room in the Venezia tower was a suite and had a great view, was huge, and overall quite nice. The cleanliness of the hotel and casino was great. The smoke smell was there in the casino but not overwhelming. I’m not a gambler but my boyfriend and friends are so I spent a considerable amount of time at the tables. The drinks did not lack, the service was fast, and the dealers were fun. We did get to take advantage of the gondola ride, which was pretty fun. I did not have enough time to explore the pool area but on my next trip, trust I will be there. I was amazed at the interior and decoration of the entire hotel… the detail alone was amazing. I was probably spoiled on my first trip but I loved the hotel and would definitely go back!

The room was beautiful and large but the Venezia tower is an absolute maze to get to. You have to take 2 elevators and walk through 2 very large lobby areas after wandering through a meandering casino. On each elevator ride, without fail, a new group would enter and exclaim how confusing the layout was. If you’ve been drinking any, be prepared to wander around, lost, for a bit.
It is very close to a Walgreens which came in handy for affordable beverage and snack options. Also, if you love the North side of the strip, this is a great location! We prefer to be in the middle of the strip so it’s not so much walking to The Mile Shops and Caesars.
The bed was very hard but the bedding was great. Beautiful, spacious bathroom and dressing area. If you want a nice room in the North end, this is a great option. However, if you’d like to be center to the strip action, choose Paris or one of the other centrally located hotels.
No in room coffee pot… HUGE negative for us.

I didn’t realize at the time of the booking we would be staying in an Italian themed tower, with a French styled restaurant, and that to get to my room I would need to navigate an English inspired maze or to find my chariot again would require 3 elevators.
Room was quite nice. Bathroom was very nice. Don’t touch anything or they will bill you. I’m glad we paid less than 40% of the normal rate.

This hotel is great. I like the three TVs, the sunken den, the bathroom and pretty much everything here. It is better than the Hard Rock hotel and Palms Place (my last two visits). This is the best hotel that my wife and I have visited in Vegas. I will have no problem staying here again.

Venezia is, in my opinion, the best tower at The Venetian. Bouchon is here, and the rooms have some of the best views, especially of the world’s tallest observation wheel and the east side of the valley. Five stars!

Ok, so when it comes to hotel rooms in Vegas… I am a spoiled brat. I like my rooms luxurious even when I know I will barely be in the room. It’s just so nice to come back to a big, clean, luxurious room after partying all day lol.
3 stars compared to OTHER rooms at the Venetian and Palazzo. Compared to other hotel rooms, it’s a 4 star. When I checked in, they offered me this tower instead because it was a packed weekend, I checked in late after taking a side trip to Death Valley first, and all the double beds in the main tower were gone… just one accessible room left and I didn’t want to take that room because what if someone really needed it.
Anyways, so the Venezia tower is closest to the check in desk… but far from everything else! The check in girl lured me in by stating there was a private entrance, lobby, pools… and she had a pool view room for me… while that was all true, it is very inconvenient! I tried the room not know how much walking I would have to do and what a maze it was.
To get to the rooms here, you take 2 elevators. One takes you to that building and other takes you up to the rooms. You go into the first elevator… get off, then walk a long ways down to the next elevator. While the walk is pretty (you walk through the wedding area), it’s kind far, especially if you have a lot of stuff. It is also here where Buchon is located.
Like the girl said, there is a more private pool area here, and this one is open year round. My friend and I checked out the pool area, but did not swim because it was cold, but we saw people in the jacuzzis, maybe the water was warm? I felt the water in the pool and it did not feel cold though. Buchon overlooks the pool area.
As far as the rooms… for some reason, it felt smaller to me. Maybe it was the décor? I like the rooms on the Palazzo side better because it’s very easy to get to from the parking/​elevators and the rooms are a tad bit bigger. Anyways, like I said, I’m spoiled and like the rooms here, so I was disappointed to see only 2 TV’s in these rooms instead of the 3 that are in the other rooms! There is no TV in the bathroom. I like to have the music channel on while I’m getting ready! The beds also felt smaller. I’m thinking they were full beds and not actual queen beds… Another thing the rooms here lacked compared to the other rooms was remote controlled curtains! The rooms in the main Venetian tower and Palazzo have buttons you can push to open and close the curtains as you desire. I was not happy seeing a small sofa bed couch instead of the sectional one as with most of the other rooms. Yes, I so sound spoiled lol. Trust me though, the room in the Venezia tower IS nice, and yes much nicer compared the other hotel rooms on the strip… and the Venetian is my favorite hotel and having stayed here many times in the main tower and Palazzo, compared to those rooms, this room didn’t compare.
If you were to have a wedding here however, then these rooms would be more ideal as you don’t have to walk around the casino and the rooms are in the same area.
I think from now on however, I will book the Palazzo side. It’s just much easier and closer to the parking/​elevators! I guess I shouldn’t complain much though… my room was completely comped for the weekend, no resort fees even, lol. The housekeepers were friendly and did an excellent job, cleaned around the same time each day so we always came back to a fresh room.

I didn’t stay in the hotel but this was the first stop i made once i got to Vegas and wow this place is beautiful. If your in vegas u must stop here and visit the shop and the canal up above the casino. That’s right Above the casino there are shops and a huge body of water… I didn’t get a chance to go on the boats because the line were so long but they had lots of other things to do so i was entertained. Four stars only because the actual casino part wasn’t that great.

Beautiful, romantic, classy, all that. Plus I get free suites here so I love the Venetian even more. The only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars is because they have a new system that allows you to order drinks directly from your slot machine & the drinks never came after waiting for 25 minutes! I kept putting in more money just because of my drink. I had to tell a cocktail waitress from a different section & she delivered my raspberry martini.
All I gotta say is… That was a VERY expensive martini –_​_​_​–

I first stayed here 5 years ago. Nothing has changed since then. I recommend if you want to stay at the Venetian, stay at the Palazzo.
We stayed here for business and was jealous of my coworkers staying in the Palazzo. I remember staying at the Venezia 5 years ago. It was such a maze to find our rooms. Business or pleasure in Vegas, I’m drunk and my sense of direction is foggy. Why does it have to be so hard to find my room? If they don’t want to build direct elevators, please provide a monorail service to the elevators. 15 minutes, at the least, to get from my room to the ballrooms near the Blue Man Group and Canal Shoppes where our meetings were being held inside the Venetian. I probably could have gotten to work faster staying at the Mirage.
The rooms are in desperate need of a face lift. No iPod jack. No coffee maker. No coverings on the light fixtures in the bathroom. No wifi. The rooms are gigantic and perfect, I guess, for 6 people trying to stay in the same room together. It’s not perfect for business travelers. They should take the money spent on the travel sewing kits in the bathrooms and use it on something people actually need. If I’m going to drink in Vegas, I’m going to a bar. Take out the minibars and give guests a coffee maker so they can stay up all night gambling or get rid of their hangovers without having to go on a property adventure to locate the Coffee Bean.
There’s potential to actually be the fantastic property it promises to be… it just needs to keep up with the times and the many properties going up around it.

LOVE the fact that you can buy swishers in the 10^th floor lobby!!! LOVE!!! Swishers can also be delivered to your room… if you’re on that vip tip :) GREAT rooms for hotboxing, and great pools too!

Star deductions:
1. No wifi!!! Come on venezia @ the Venetian. Join the 21^st century for goodness sakes. Make sure when if you book here to stay at the palazzo instead. Who even carries Ethernet cables anymore?
2. T.V.s don’t work. Yes t.v.s plural. There’s two of them and none of them work. It’s been 1 ½ hrs since I have complained and no ones come yet
3. The maze to get to the elevators.
The two stars go to the valet, the bell hop and the concierge. Joe the bell hop awesome dude, Sean the valet who parked and re parked my car after I realized I left my phone in the car and Jaquelyn the concierge who did not hesitate to move us to the remodeled Venetian tower after I complained about the lack of wi fi and non operational flat screens.

Great Hotel! Had a lot of fun! Will stay again! ;-)

Venizzia is a hotel within a hotel. It is its own tower with its own reservations and check desks, restaurants and other services and is a separate building from the Venetian. Venizza is a step up from the Venetian in appearance and quality of service, has its own pool and beautiful hallways burning real fire in the lamp posts inside.
We have stayed here several times and the service is always great, the Bouchon restaurant and bakery does not disappoint (unless you get the chicken and waffles which they recommend but you should stay away from) and if they bring back the concierge level (currently closed because of the economy), you have to stay on that floor!
