About the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino
The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, located directly on the Las Vegas Strip, is one of the world’s most luxurious resort and convention destinations. The Venetian features The Grand Canal Shoppes, an indoor streetscape complete with gondolas, serenading gondoliers, street performers, the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, many highly regarded restaurants with award-winning chefs, the Guggenheim-Hermitage Museum, and five acres of swimming pools, spas, and sunbathing areas overlooking Las Vegas. The property is just a stone’s throw from other famous Las Vegas hotels including the Wynn, Caesars Palace, and the Bellagio. Also of interest and scheduled to open in December, 2007, is the Palazzo Hotel, which is adjacent to the Venetian and under the same ownership. This new resort property will include a 50-floor luxury hotel tower with more than 3,000 rooms. When finished, the combined Palazzo, Venetian, and Sands Expo and Convention Center will be the largest resort and hotel complex in the world with more than 7,000 hotel rooms and suites.
