The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino

This place is insane.

I had to blink a few times to see if I was in Italy or Nevada.

I quite liked the suite I stayed in, though the walk from the elevator to the room is literally over a minute. —and all 3 hallways are that long.

I tried the famous “give the checkin person 20 bucks” trick. She took it and gave us a nice suite. In comparison, the guy at Planet Hollywood (what used to be alladin) didn’t take the money and gave us a decent one, while the lady at Monte Carlo gave us a pretty bad one after seeing no 20 dollar bill…

Yvonne and I and another family we know saw the Phantom here. The Venetian has a theatre built specifically for the Phantom, and the efforts have paid off handsomely.

I think I had the most fun at this hotel with its live “street” performances and indoor Italian city. I’m also a sucker for buildings that have rivers running through them. ;-) Although I could not afford a gongola ride.

The rooms are beautiful and have lots of space. The bathroom is huge - a big plus when you are trying to get ready and there is more than one person in your room. The Blue Man Group is definitely a show I would recommend to anyone to see - A MUST! I love the casino and all the different restaurants they offer. There is quite a bit of walking involved, so if you are not into walking, this is not for you.
