Guests at the Venetian Resort and Casino, one of billionaire Sheldon Adelson's flagship properties, know they're in for a treat. Feast your eyes on the Classical European frescoes and architecture that make an instant impression everywhere you walk. Treat your tongue to tasty delicacies at fine restaurants and bars. From gondolas to the Grand Canal shops, to the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, to gaming, the Venetian Resort and Casino promises a terrific time 24/7!
Behind the façade of the Doge's Palace, you'll find marble floors, hand-painted frescoes and plush furnishings surrounding a 120,000-square-foot casino modeled after the interior of a Venetian palazzo with 2,200 slot machines, 120 table games, a high-limit salon, race and sports book and a newly expanded baccarat venue with added privacy for VIPS.There are 4,027 suites between the two towers, ranging in size from 650 square feet (almost two times larger than a standard hotel room) to the 6,000-plus-square-foot Chairman suite. (The Venetian holds the Guinness World Record for the "largest standard hotel room.") It's the lavish shopping, dining and entertainment options that keep travelers returning to the Strip's slice of the dolce vita.
The Grand Canal Shoppes feature such chic boutiques as Jimmy Choo, Dooney & Burke, Mikimoto and St. John Sport along cobblestone walkways. The Artisti Dell Arte - classically trained singers, actors and musicians from all over the world - perform beneath the sky of the Grand Canal's St. Mark's Square. Here you can catch a ride on authentic Italian gondolas navigated by an opera-singing gondolier.The Venetian's award-winning restaurants include Delmonico Steakhouse, Piero Selvaggio Valentino, Wolfgang Puck's Postrio, Canaletto, Lutece, Royal Star, Taqueria Canonita and Thomas Keller's Bouchon. Nightlife hotspots include the V Bar and the swanky Vegas nightclub, Vivid.
The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum, also known as the "Jewel Box," was designed by Rem Koolhaas and offers new exhibits every six to nine months from the permanent collections of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York and The State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
