I stayed at the Venetian twice for a few jobs I did out there. The room was as big as my apartment back home, it was an incredible size for one person. It was November and it was actually cold outside so I stayed in at night, went to the hot tub, walked around the shops, ate at the restaurants. Since my job was at the convention hall they have and it starts getting dark around 5pm, I didn't see sunlight for a week except through a window at the far end of a hallway. That stunk and I can't fault the hotel for that but it speaks to how big the place actually is if it's hard to get sunlight during a 10 minute break! One secret: there's a CVS right outside where you can stock up on supplies. Many of these places are pretty removed from shops forcing you to buy from inside.
The Palazzo rooms are brighter and a tad more spacious. I've stayed at both, and the experience at the Palazzo is more enjoyable. Don't get too hung up on the robes/slippers-- I think it was an oversight as I've had both in each property. I understand what Ruby was saying about the Venetian pool deck-- I enjoy the Palazzo pool deck more than Venetian. It's a completely different feeling.
I went to Vegas for the first time in June and stayed at the Palazzo which is connected to the Venetian. They did have robes in the closet there and the room was a lot lighter with the furniture and colors. I loved all the pools and the secret pool area on the 10th floor. Although I did go to lots of the other hotels, I was always really excited and grateful I was staying at the palazzo. Will definitely stay there again!!
My first visit to Vegas was in December. The party I was with and I stayed at the Palazzo. I highly recommend these two resorts. The rooms were fabulous as well as the food options. Delmonicos was phenomenal! I would recommend anyone to stay here. It was absolutely beautiful and perfect.
staying for a week early march, couldn't decide between those two went with the venetian. Never been to vegas so complete paradox of choices and decisions lol.
@@dbased1915 I was the same way. Luckily, I went with people who had been plenty, and they booked the hotel. It’s one of their favorites. Having stayed there, I could see why.
I think you nailed it when you said it’s just your opinion. Great video. We’ve stayed at Wynn, Encore, Aria, Cosmo, Caesar’s, Bellagio and The M (not mentioning the lower priced properties) and BY FAR, the Venetian is our absolute favourite. It’s luxury in every room and the property is stunning. …and that’s just my opinion. We are all different and for us, the Venetian is IT. Super good and honest video.
I am ASTONISHED by that intro. What amazing production. Also loved walking around the Venetian. Las Vegas can be so enjoyable, and your videos keep me in the know. *Keep it up.*
I stayed in big 5 : Cosmo, Bellagio, Aria, Wyn and Venetian! Venetian is the best, by my opinion, pools are connected to Palazzo pools plus there are hidden pools and jakuzzi area on 10th floor!
Venetian is my absolute favorite property. We had robes and slippers so I’m not sure why you didn’t get them. I totally agree that the Venetian has some amazing restaurants. We love it there. Best bang for your buck. Love ya Ruby-can’t wait to see where you go next!

Hi Ruby! Last month, I stayed at the Palazzo for a few days. Robes and slippers are included in the room. The Palazzo costs a little bit more than the Venetian, but is worth it. On the casino floor, there's a great restaurant that offers breakfast buffet for around $25; open 6-8 AM, then a la carte after 8:00 AM. By the gondolas, there is an ice cream "shop" in the middle of the plaza; try out authentic Italian ices. Enjoy!
We just got back from our stay at the Venetian. Absolutely the most beautiful & spacious room we have ever been in. Beautiful resort from top to bottom!
I love your vlog!! I love the Venetian, I stay there every visit to Vegas. I have thought about trying other hotels thanks to your videos! but always go to the Venetian. I love the location, it is close to all the things I like to go to. Since I drive to Vegas, I love the free parking & it is easy to get in & out of and on to the freeway. I went the week before Memorial Day & am counting down the days until i go back in Nov.
My favorite property as well... They reached out to me a few weeks ago, so we switched from Harrahs to Palazzo 3 of 4 nights comped... only paying for WEdnesday . Love this place. By far my fav rooms.
This video came at a perfect time!! I've been contemplating making a reservation at the venitian and was so disappointed earlier today when I saw you didn't have a video on it.
@@brendalogan6281 thank you, my vacation was over 2 months ago 😅. I ended up using the my Vegas apps and had 2 nights at the aria and 4 nights in the Bellagio just paying resort fees. Venician looked beautiful and I'll consider staying there if I'll ever go to Vegas again 😊
Frequent visitor of Venetian Palazzo since 2009. It's a must stay for me each visit to Vegas. Great location on the strip, love the shops and restaurants, and the rooms make the trip worth the visit everytime. Spacious, gorgeous, get the best nights sleep everytime. Like the older pool at Venetian, but the new layout is ok. Prefer Palazzo pool actually. Great place if you're looking for an upscale, quieter type visit to Vegas with lots of choices of things to do between the two properties 👍
Hi Ruby! You are the cutest! The Venetian is our go to luxury hotel and has been for about 15 years. We love everything about it but we’ve never even been to the pools. Too busy playing slots and craps! But you forgot to mention the Grand Lux Cafe! The service is excellent and the food I tell you the food is the best! I truly enjoyed your critique and you didn’t hurt my feelings. 🎰💃❤️
The Venetian is great, my roommate and his wife and daughter stayed there in August of 21, and we were very impressed by the accommodations, we like the idea of the pull out couch (Murphy bed) so I have a place to rest (for 4 hours lol) we have decided that this will be our go to hotel when we come to Las Vegas 👌
They bring you slippers and robes upon request during covid. You can ask for more amenities (shampoo conditioner body wash etc) at any time as well. You're in the standard suite so it only gets better from there!
You can always call room service and ask them to bring a robe and slippers for you we do it all the time we only stay at the Venetian and palazzo when we are in Vegas and the staff is wonderful too!
They had robes to wear before COVID. I get a two queen suite which is larger than the king. I have stayed at the Venetian many times and it is my favorite place to stay in Vegas. I will be there again at the end of October and am always excited to go.
The white dress was really nice Ruby ! You looked great ! The Venetian is a beautiful property. It’s so big though . Walking back to your room is so far I swear I saw a sign that said Santa Monica Freeway next exit lol . I agree they should have robes and the rooms probably need a refresh . Awesome video as always. Thanks for all you do 😎😎😎
Omg it sounds like you like party hotels and that’s fine The Venetian it’s classic more laid-back for us older folks And I don’t like hotels with a lot of younger guest Or Overcrowded pools so we are like the opposite 😂 so Understandable Great 👍🏽 Review.
Are you kidding? My friend and I were so discriminated against for being 50ish that I will never set foot in the Venetian again. After my one visit they sent stacks of generous comp offers. All went in the trash. They catered to young drinkers. Couldn't get near the hot tubs filled with drunks. Never went back and never will.
Had a great visit to the Venetian. Being a veteran of Las Vegas I never noticed any discrimination due to my age. Youth loves to party. I get that. As we said back in the late 60's and early 70's "been there, done that." Now comfort and luxury is our call. We pay for it and the Venetian delivers. Room service is grand and the variety of gaming venues and good drink catalog definitely satisfies. I intend to return. Numerous times.
Palazzo one of my favorite if not favorite places for sure. Lots of good food options at Venetian and Palazzo. When hot outside that side of street is good for walking up and down the strip vs west side. You can stay in AC most of the way south and North through the Wynn. Casino good there and lots of food options at all price ranges. They also had lessons for table games which was good for some in my party. Starbucks for coffee and breakfast and connected to Sands if you need to be there. One of the most beautiful lobbys and free parking.
Thanks for the honest review even if it may be “controversial”. I would rather have that than channels where everything is always wonderful. Hope your voice heals! The quality of your videos are 🔝.
I appreciate your review! My wife and I really want to stay there with IHG hotel points. Venetian seems to have the best room service. Mikey Chen did a sweep of room service through the different casinos and seems Venetian is best Also sign up for Grazie rewards you’ll automatically get 10% off the gondola rides. There used to be Venetian coupon codes where you book the room through them you would get a free gondola ride. Not sure if they still do that or how the codes come.
My wife and i are considering going to Vegas for the first time to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. And the Venetian is one of the resorts we are considering staying at.
I absolutely loved my stay at the Venetian in July. It was luxury at its finest! It is my #1 hotel so far! You don't really need to leave the hotel for anything. Everything you need is there. My family and I enjoyed our stay there and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Is there a lot of walking at the Venetian considering this hotel is the biggest in Las Vegas? I hate to walk 10 minutes from the hotel room to the lobby.
They should have provided robes and slippers. I haven't been there in a while so I'm not sure if that has changed. The spa there is phenomenal and a must for me.
Great intro to the video. Loved the videography. I see what you mean about the decor. It has a more classic look, drab look. Based on other videos, the Palazzo looks more modern. I’ll be trying the Venetian for the first time next week and excited to see how it goes. The Wynn is super nice and so is the Aria.
She forgot to add that the Venetian tower are the best suites, the other Venetiana towers (not sure on that spelling,) sorry but that’s the side I will never go to again.I love the Venetian tower only!!clean,beautiful and close to the casino. The other tower is far away and need to take 2 elevators then still along walk! Rooms are a bit run down.
@@deloresreasoner9313 I heard about those rooms. The ones next to the check-in desk, right? Or the ones over by the French restaurant? Those are far too. Luckily, I was in the towers by the escalators and bread cafe. It’s a beautiful hotel. I want to try the Palazzo next.
I pray this is not a bad review video I was just their for my 15th Anniversary last month And we had a blast no complaints excellent customer service housekeeping was on point most definitely will stay there again and try the Palazzo next Fyi I love ❤️ you’re videos travel ruby.
Every time we go to Vegas we stay at the Venetian because we LOVE it so much especially when they had Phantom of the Opera there. It was beyond words. Sad it closed because it was bad economic time. They have a huge coffee shop that was great. Aren't most hotel pools crowded. I highly recommend it. It is worth what ever price you pay. The indoor gondola ride in the canal of shops was incredible. The comfortable elegance was very nice and the smoke in the casino was no more, there is a light sweet scent through out. And no I don't work for them.
Venetian starting to show a its age and it is a bit too crowded. You should have stayed at the Palazzo its similar theme but way cleaner and more modern. It is actually quite a big upgrade in my opinion. I would take Wynn over the Venetian in a heartbeat but I would really have to think about it if I had to choose between Wynn and Palazzo.
@@mrmotel9977 I stayed at Mandalay Bay Thursday-Friday.. mandalay bay is better than all of them venetian/Wynn/bellagio (shark reef aquarium wave pool and lazy river super nice rooms and a GOLD building)....I spent about a half hour at excalibur I agree just implode Excalibur or Tropicana and put something new there....I stayed at Flamingo and loved it too... Tropicana/or Excalibur can get imploded
@@michaelsuzio4364 Some major upgrades down by Mandalay Bay would help that end of the strip! Mandalay by is a great resort - just too far from the center strip attractions. We've been given full comp offers at Mandalay and refuse them because we'd rather be center strip... Put a couple killer resorts next to it and I'm in!
@@mrmotel9977 I like the far end of the strip...Luxor is one of my favorites on the entire strip... Mandalay Bay/Luxor/Strat are my 3 favs...I like the architecture at ARIA too...if I go to Vegas again around halloween or Thanksgiving I wanna stay at Resorts World at least 1 of the days... mandalay bay does have the Raiders stadium right next to it too
Thanx for the review of this Hotel & Casino. I'm a local and used to work there in the hidden Design & Construction offices?❤❤❤ I truly enjoyed working there and eating at their Foodcourt everyday. It's so good! I loved their Pizza in the upstairs Foodcourt.
This is the first time I've tuned into your channel. I felt it to be very informative with great coverage of the hotel areas (common/private). I wasn't expecting your summary at the end of your video but felt it absolutely validated your experience. I have been to Vegas 3 times and have always enjoyed the individuality of each hotel and the over-the-top experience. I've just subscribed! Darryl
We stayed at Venetian my first time in Vegas over 10 years ago. It was definitely a win for a first-timer. I would stay again if the price was right but I felt like overall it was a much more calm and less party vibe than what I was expecting. Our next time we stayed at Planet Hollywood and the atmosphere and vibe was night and day. I like a mix of both.
Just got back from there. I prefer the pool on the 10th floor. Less crowded and there is more 'shade cover'. But I guess if you're in the younger demo, you'll dig 4th floor...Also important to note that most of the food court options (on the 2nd floor atleast) open later, like 9 or 10am. So I usually got some breakfast at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf since that was open at 7am.
I managed to book four nights for $600 (including all fees) at the Palazzo next month and am excited to explore the property! I’ll definitely check out the Dorsey. Thank you for your videos Ruby!
Venetian is my fav.. followed by ARIA, but Aria is a good walk 10-12 min walk from the strip!.......... with the venetian, its Clean, Safe.. and a 24 second walk from the front door and your in the middle of the strip!! DONT FORGET THE FREE PARKING AT VENETIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Venetian it's my fav I always feel at home there there's actually 2 Food Courts another one is in the Grand Canal Shops you can eat cheap if you want to without having to leave the Hotel I'm not a fancy eater :)
Looking forward to staying at the Palazzo for Thanksgiving weekend. Picked it because of the larger than average 720sq ft which suits our party of 4. Also friends have recommended it for cleanliness and being a little away from the bustle of the main strip which works for me since I don’t need that when I’m trying to rest.
Ruby, it was very nice and considerate of you to pay tribute to Sheldon Adelson, founder of the Venetian. He was a visionary, brilliant businessman and entrepreneur, and huge philanthropist .
The Venetian is my favourite hotel. Yes, it does seem a little dark, but that hasn't really bothered me. I could see how it might for someone else. I have always had a robe there (I can't remember about the slippers), so I'm not sure if they have chopped that with the pandemic or if it was just a mistake. I love the spacious comfortable room, which is perfect when going with a girlfriend, and I find I linger in the room a little more than I would otherwise. I am not a pool person, so I wouldn't notice the difference there. You've already touched on the restaurants and eating options at a wide variety of price points. I just find the Venetian relaxing and beautiful to wander around in. All of this being said, I am in my early 50's and the kind of vibe that attracts me is likely totally different than yours ... and that's ok! That's why it's nice to have so many excellent properties to choose from.
Just stayed at the Venetian January 11 through 14. Great hotel. Great variety of restaurants, and shops. Casino was fairly tight with payouts. I had to laugh when you mentioned the lack of slippers. That was our pet peeve about the suite. We did have robes though.
Love love love the Venetian! Stayed there 10 years ago! My favorite strip hotel! Second favorite is the Wynn, met Henry Winkler at the Wynn years ago. Wynn had turn down service I wonder if they still have it.
Venetian is top tier for hotels in LV. We stayed there in June and had a wonderful time. I would defiantly stay there again. Curious to see a ranking from Ruby as to what her top hotels are right now.
Venetian is our home away from home when we visit Vegas. I think robes were removed when covid started, they were amazing I hope they bring them back soon. Not a big fan of that pool but the jacuzzis on the 10th floor are amazing. They do have to add a personal mini fridge, only a mini bar is kinda forcing you to buy their juices & water when you wake up hungover 😂 great video Ruby! Hope to meet you guys one day :)
Stumbled on your channel and love your insights. All your points are valid for the Venetian. However, for me, it's hard to beat all the amenities of the hotel casino as a whole. As a frequent visitor it works for me. Subscribed! Can't wait for your next vid. 😘
Great video, good content- just want to say the video of the property especially at the beginning was so well done. You made it look better than the marketing videos the Venetian puts out. Really nice work!
I stayed at the Venetian the first trip to Vegas. It is over the top beautiful architecture with the canals and gondolas It's also over the top expensive and the slots were tight.
The Venetian and palazzo were amazing. Caesar and bellagio were ok. Venetian pools (including the hidden one that you didn’t mention) and spa areas are top notch. I can’t wait to stay again
The Venetian is my absolute favourite hotel we always stay there. We did get robes and slippers in our standard room. Food options are amazing my go to places are Cut & Grand lux ❤️
Love the Venetian and Palazzo! Always my first choice and I've stayed at many....MGM, Aria, Cosmo, Wynn/Encore, Bellagio, Marriott Grand Chateau...just so much to do and so convenient! I think Resorts World is next on my list though! 😎
We stayed here in June right after Vegas opened up for my Son's wedding. I was wondering if you'd go to Delmonico as that is where we all ate for the wedding dinner. Service was outstanding and the Ribeye was on point. Loved our stay at The Venetia. Oh yea, try the Japanese Breakfast off the room service menu. Pricey but really good!
When I stayed at the Venetian in mid June, I paid $115 a night, and that included the resort fee (mid week, of course). I absolutely loved my stay! Of course, I don't have the advantage of having tried every other hotel on the strip. For the average vacationer, and especially for first time vacationers, you will have an absolute blast!
I love the Venetian! We just stayed there a couple weeks ago. I agree about the pool, we had a cabana one day and a plunge pool the second day - and I’m not sure I would have loved it as much as I did if we’d been at the regular pool. But it is one of the few pools that has free umbrellas!
Since spring 2018, the Venetian/Palazzo Hotel Guest areas have heightened security measures at the hotel: there is a guard watching the guest elevator at all times and the guests have to tap the room key in front of the guard and the card reader has to be displayed green to get past the elevator entrance.
@@rathanaephuong3081 There should not be one too many guests in group gatherings at a time to access the elevator arena, limit is approximately no more than five in a party.
Great review Ruby! I've never stayed there before but on other vlogs when I've seen the room tour it looks "old timey" to me, not my style either. I also agree that the pool area just seems 'O.K'. There's a reason that I've never chosen it, I'm a Mandalay Bay guy and I think I'll keep floating in the lazy river.
🌺🌺🌺 Wow!! I totally disagree with almost everything you have said :( #1. I don’t care about the robe and slippers thing. I never wear hotel robes, just a personal preference, I think they are disgusting no matter where... #2 Every time we have stayed there, our room was bright and beautiful not dark....silvers, light blues, lavenders so it’s weird you said yours was dark and not your thing, but that’s ok too. #3 I know the pool could be bigger but it’s beauty and the vibe surpasses that and I like the littler pools too. #4 EXCELLENT customer service! I have had major issues with the Bellagio’s staff both times I have stayed there. #5 The Grazie reward program is GREAT! #6 I love the Arancia toiletries, they smell divine and are in abundance. #7 The beds are the best in town! Like sleeping on marshmallows! The towels and sheets etc are great too. I’m sorry you didn’t love it as much as I or others do but I’m glad you had a nice time for your birthday! I’ll be there in November for mine! 🌺🌺🌺
I agree with your response. I love both the Venetian and Palazzo. However, the Palazzo is much more brighter and more upscale. You may want to try that side before deciding not to stay there again. The rooms mimic each other but the Palazzo is more modernized. each The rooms we had all were bright and beautiful. I second not caring about the robes and slippers. I’m not wearing a robe and slippers that everyone else in the world has worn. No thank you, like you said it’s a personal preference. Just like I never use hotel washcloths on my face. Washcloths been in to many peoples private body areas. The hotel is awesome, the customer service was excellent. There very accommodating and the awards program I do like. Out of all the hotels on the strip, this is by far my favorite place to stay. The design is not for everyone but space wise you can’t beat it. I’m looking forward to our trip back there.
I tend to disagree with her as well. Normally she's very informative but I've stayed at The Venetian many, many times and always have an amazing experience. The Wynn is my all time favorite, but The Venetian is a close second :)
I get the Venetian for $70 a night plus Resort Fee during the week with my reward card. Best bang for your buck on the strip in my opinion. Friday and Sturady can get crazy though so I avoid those days, usually change hotels. And NO I am not a big gambler, mostly poker. Not having a fridge in a suite kinda sucks but I just go to the CVS next door and get cooler and other amenities, foods and drinks for room. CANNOT beat the food choices. Grand Lux is best 24hr restaurant in Vegas right now from my experience Having a TV in the bathroom is nice touch except whoever designed it really messed up cause u can't lay in the tub the right way and see tv.
You nailed the review! We love the Venetian but your critiques are the same as ours. It was so strange to see everything so quiet when you were filming. That place is always packed!
I like the fact that you make it a point to eat all 3 meals like breakfast at breakfast time lunch at lunch time and dinner at dinnertime you don't skip meals which is good
You are so great! Fun to see all these Vegas and casino videos. It reminds me of, believe it or not,some family trips with my mom, dad and brother (and even grandmother and aunt once!) Anyway, glad I found you. Very sweet and real. But when does the husband make an appearance ?😂
My sister does staycations here and she loves it. She did agree that the room's decor is dark. She noted that you missed a whole other food court. The rooms are definitely comfortable.
Thank you for making this! Your reviews are so good and The Venetian is on my list to try next. I have always admired the style, and it is restaurant heaven! I see where you are coming from on the price point vs. offerings. Maybe in a post-pandemic world some of the offerings will come back or be enhanced. I also love a good fluffy robe :). Your white dress is so beautiful btw.
Was there just like week. We stayed at the Venezia towers. Love the quietness and the isolation as well as our own garden pool. Our room didn't have robes or slippers but we called and it was delivered within 20 minutes. ONLY NEGATIVE was the AC in the hotel and specifically in the Venezia hallway was freezing! We both ended up with the flu upon leaving 🤧!
I went to the Venetian 2 weeks ago, standard but with the Mirage strip view. Only complaint was that the room needs a minor renovation but not soo much and maybe more elevators in the towers
I stayed at the Venetian twice for a few jobs I did out there. The room was as big as my apartment back home, it was an incredible size for one person. It was November and it was actually cold outside so I stayed in at night, went to the hot tub, walked around the shops, ate at the restaurants.

Hi Ruby! Last month, I stayed at the Palazzo for a few days. Robes and slippers are included in the room. The Palazzo costs a little bit more than the Venetian, but is worth it. On the casino floor, there's a great restaurant that offers breakfast buffet for around $25; open 6-8 AM, then a la carte after 8:00 AM. By the gondolas, there is an ice cream "shop" in the middle of the plaza; try out authentic Italian ices. Enjoy!
We just got back from our stay at the Venetian. Absolutely the most beautiful & spacious room we have ever been in. Beautiful resort from top to bottom!
What is the deposit fee like? I was reading that you can opt for just a flat fee of $150 or $150/night? What did they do for you?

My Absolute Favorite Hotel in LV!
I love the Venetian! It's the only place I stay, I usually look and price others, but end up booking the Venetian every time. It's my favorite!!!
Lmfao i do that too 😆 It’s the experience you’re paying for.. i love it.
I love the Venetian! I was there in May and have an awesome time. The room is clean, updated and glamorous!
My favorite property as well... They reached out to me a few weeks ago, so we switched from Harrahs to Palazzo 3 of 4 nights comped... only paying for WEdnesday . Love this place. By far my fav rooms.
Palazzo is where we ALWAYS stay and it’s amazing. Comp rooms, excellent service, awesome pool area.
This video came at a perfect time!! I've been contemplating making a reservation at the venitian and was so disappointed earlier today when I saw you didn't have a video on it.
please read the other comments..the Venetian is beautiful with outstanding service and food...everyone I know who has stayed there loved it
@@brendalogan6281 thank you, my vacation was over 2 months ago 😅. I ended up using the my Vegas apps and had 2 nights at the aria and 4 nights in the Bellagio just paying resort fees.
Venician looked beautiful and I'll consider staying there if I'll ever go to Vegas again 😊
Frequent visitor of Venetian Palazzo since 2009. It's a must stay for me each visit to Vegas. Great location on the strip, love the shops and restaurants, and the rooms make the trip worth the visit everytime. Spacious, gorgeous, get the best nights sleep everytime. Like the older pool at Venetian, but the new layout is ok. Prefer Palazzo pool actually. Great place if you're looking for an upscale, quieter type visit to Vegas with lots of choices of things to do between the two properties 👍
Hi Ruby! You are the cutest! The Venetian is our go to luxury hotel and has been for about 15 years. We love everything about it but we’ve never even been to the pools.
Too busy playing slots and craps! But you forgot to mention the Grand Lux Cafe!
The service is excellent and the food I tell you the food is the best! I truly enjoyed your critique and you didn’t hurt my feelings. 🎰💃❤️
The Venetian is great, my roommate and his wife and daughter stayed there in August of 21, and we were very impressed by the accommodations, we like the idea of the pull out couch (Murphy bed) so I have a place to rest (for 4 hours lol) we have decided that this will be our go to hotel when we come to Las Vegas 👌
They have a lot of restaurants plus The Grand Lux is open 24 hours bonus 👍🏽
Nice it’s getting harder to find 24/7 food
They bring you slippers and robes upon request during covid. You can ask for more amenities (shampoo conditioner body wash etc) at any time as well. You're in the standard suite so it only gets better from there!
Venetian is by far my favorite in Vegas. It used to come with robes, though I haven't been there in a few years.
You can always call room service and ask them to bring a robe and slippers for you we do it all the time we only stay at the Venetian and palazzo when we are in Vegas and the staff is wonderful too!
I love the grand lux, the prices and food are amazing. Def should have been included. also 24/7
They had robes to wear before COVID. I get a two queen suite which is larger than the king. I have stayed at the Venetian many times and it is my favorite place to stay in Vegas. I will be there again at the end of October and am always excited to go.
The white dress was really nice Ruby ! You looked great ! The Venetian is a beautiful property. It’s so big though . Walking back to your room is so far I swear I saw a sign that said Santa Monica Freeway next exit lol . I agree they should have robes and the rooms probably need a refresh . Awesome video as always. Thanks for all you do 😎😎😎
Hahaha
Omg it sounds like you like party hotels and that’s fine The Venetian it’s classic more laid-back for us older folks And I don’t like hotels with a lot of younger guest Or Overcrowded pools so we are like the opposite 😂 so Understandable Great 👍🏽 Review.
I wouldn't say that, my fav hotel is Bellagio.
@@TravelRuby Cool 😎
Are you kidding? My friend and I were so discriminated against for being 50ish that I will never set foot in the Venetian again. After my one visit they sent stacks of generous comp offers. All went in the trash. They catered to young drinkers. Couldn't get near the hot tubs filled with drunks. Never went back and never will.
Had a great visit to the Venetian. Being a veteran of Las Vegas I never noticed any discrimination due to my age. Youth loves to party. I get that. As we said back in the late 60's and early 70's "been there, done that." Now comfort and luxury is our call. We pay for it and the Venetian delivers. Room service is grand and the variety of gaming venues and good drink catalog definitely satisfies. I intend to return. Numerous times.
@@LesterMoore Im with you love The Venetian Luxury At It's Best 👍🏽
Palazzo one of my favorite if not favorite places for sure. Lots of good food options at Venetian and Palazzo. When hot outside that side of street is good for walking up and down the strip vs west side. You can stay in AC most of the way south and North through the Wynn. Casino good there and lots of food options at all price ranges. They also had lessons for table games which was good for some in my party. Starbucks for coffee and breakfast and connected to Sands if you need to be there. One of the most beautiful lobbys and free parking.
Thanks for the honest review even if it may be “controversial”. I would rather have that than channels where everything is always wonderful. Hope your voice heals! The quality of your videos are 🔝.
I appreciate your review! My wife and I really want to stay there with IHG hotel points.
Venetian seems to have the best room service. Mikey Chen did a sweep of room service through the different casinos and seems Venetian is best
Also sign up for Grazie rewards you’ll automatically get 10% off the gondola rides.
There used to be Venetian coupon codes where you book the room through them you would get a free gondola ride. Not sure if they still do that or how the codes come.
I've stayed here twice and would love to do it again!!!
My wife and i are considering going to Vegas for the first time to celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary. And the Venetian is one of the resorts we are considering staying at.
I LOVE this hotel. We always stay here or the palazoo when we come.
This place is home to me while in Vegas♡
I absolutely loved my stay at the Venetian in July. It was luxury at its finest! It is my #1 hotel so far! You don't really need to leave the hotel for anything. Everything you need is there. My family and I enjoyed our stay there and would stay there again in a heartbeat!
Is there a lot of walking at the Venetian considering this hotel is the biggest in Las Vegas? I hate to walk 10 minutes from the hotel room to the lobby.
@@lilpenny1982 its a long walk to the room, I had to take 2 separate elevators to get to my room
@@Alanaboo912 Wow!! 😓
yes 👏🏽 Delmonico is we’re we celebrating our 15th anniversary dinner omg it was phenomenal we had tableside Château Briand and ceasar salad 🥗
They should have provided robes and slippers. I haven't been there in a while so I'm not sure if that has changed. The spa there is phenomenal and a must for me.
Great intro to the video. Loved the videography. I see what you mean about the decor. It has a more classic look, drab look. Based on other videos, the Palazzo looks more modern. I’ll be trying the Venetian for the first time next week and excited to see how it goes. The Wynn is super nice and so is the Aria.
She forgot to add that the Venetian tower are the best suites, the other Venetiana towers (not sure on that spelling,) sorry but that’s the side I will never go to again.I love the Venetian tower only!!clean,beautiful and close to the casino. The other tower is far away and need to take 2 elevators then still along walk! Rooms are a bit run down.
@@deloresreasoner9313 I heard about those rooms. The ones next to the check-in desk, right? Or the ones over by the French restaurant? Those are far too. Luckily, I was in the towers by the escalators and bread cafe. It’s a beautiful hotel. I want to try the Palazzo next.
I pray this is not a bad review video I was just their for my 15th Anniversary last month And we had a blast no complaints excellent customer service housekeeping was on point most definitely will stay there again and try the Palazzo next Fyi I love ❤️ you’re videos travel ruby.
Ya, it’s my number one favorite by far!
Every time we go to Vegas we stay at the Venetian because we LOVE it so much especially when they had Phantom of the Opera there. It was beyond words. Sad it closed because it was bad economic time. They have a huge coffee shop that was great. Aren't most hotel pools crowded. I highly recommend it. It is worth what ever price you pay. The indoor gondola ride in the canal of shops was incredible. The comfortable elegance was very nice and the smoke in the casino was no more, there is a light sweet scent through out. And no I don't work for them.
Venetian starting to show a its age and it is a bit too crowded. You should have stayed at the Palazzo its similar theme but way cleaner and more modern. It is actually quite a big upgrade in my opinion. I would take Wynn over the Venetian in a heartbeat but I would really have to think about it if I had to choose between Wynn and Palazzo.
A lot of them are starting to show there age... Wonder when the first mega resort gets imploded! And which will it be?! Excalibur?
@@mrmotel9977 I stayed at Mandalay Bay Thursday-Friday.. mandalay bay is better than all of them venetian/Wynn/bellagio (shark reef aquarium wave pool and lazy river super nice rooms and a GOLD building)....I spent about a half hour at excalibur I agree just implode Excalibur or Tropicana and put something new there....I stayed at Flamingo and loved it too... Tropicana/or Excalibur can get imploded
@@michaelsuzio4364 Some major upgrades down by Mandalay Bay would help that end of the strip! Mandalay by is a great resort - just too far from the center strip attractions. We've been given full comp offers at Mandalay and refuse them because we'd rather be center strip... Put a couple killer resorts next to it and I'm in!
@@mrmotel9977 I like the far end of the strip...Luxor is one of my favorites on the entire strip... Mandalay Bay/Luxor/Strat are my 3 favs...I like the architecture at ARIA too...if I go to Vegas again around halloween or Thanksgiving I wanna stay at Resorts World at least 1 of the days... mandalay bay does have the Raiders stadium right next to it too
We stayed at the Palazzo and I was floored by how gorgeous and big the room was! I felt like royalty!
Thanx for the review of this Hotel & Casino. I'm a local and used to work there in the hidden Design & Construction offices?❤❤❤ I truly enjoyed working there and eating at their Foodcourt everyday. It's so good! I loved their Pizza in the upstairs Foodcourt.
I visited The Venitian Nov '19. Everyone was very nice there . Free parking,too.
The Palazzo is the nicest place I stayed at! The room was jaw dropping! So gorgeous!!!
This is the first time I've tuned into your channel. I felt it to be very informative with great coverage of the hotel areas (common/private).
I wasn't expecting your summary at the end of your video but felt it absolutely validated your experience. I have been to Vegas 3 times
and have always enjoyed the individuality of each hotel and the over-the-top experience. I've just subscribed!
Darryl
We stayed at Venetian my first time in Vegas over 10 years ago. It was definitely a win for a first-timer. I would stay again if the price was right but I felt like overall it was a much more calm and less party vibe than what I was expecting. Our next time we stayed at Planet Hollywood and the atmosphere and vibe was night and day. I like a mix of both.
Just got back from there. I prefer the pool on the 10th floor. Less crowded and there is more 'shade cover'. But I guess if you're in the younger demo, you'll dig 4th floor...Also important to note that most of the food court options (on the 2nd floor atleast) open later, like 9 or 10am. So I usually got some breakfast at Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf since that was open at 7am.
Venetian is our go to hotel, it's beautiful and comfortable.
The Venetian is the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in🥰
It’s definitely my favorite!
Stay at Wynn/encore. Much nicer.
@@joshowens2219 I agree it's a much nicer part of the trailer park and there slot Club is not called Club Grizzie!
I managed to book four nights for $600 (including all fees) at the Palazzo next month and am excited to explore the property! I’ll definitely check out the Dorsey. Thank you for your videos Ruby!
Venetian is my fav.. followed by ARIA, but Aria is a good walk 10-12 min walk from the strip!.......... with the venetian, its Clean, Safe.. and a 24 second walk from the front door and your in the middle of the strip!! DONT FORGET THE FREE PARKING AT VENETIAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the Venetian it's my fav I always feel at home there there's actually 2 Food Courts another one is in the Grand Canal Shops you can eat cheap if you want to without having to leave the Hotel I'm not a fancy eater :)
Looking forward to staying at the Palazzo for Thanksgiving weekend. Picked it because of the larger than average 720sq ft which suits our party of 4. Also friends have recommended it for cleanliness and being a little away from the bustle of the main strip which works for me since I don’t need that when I’m trying to rest.
Ruby, it was very nice and considerate of you to pay tribute to Sheldon Adelson, founder of the Venetian. He was a visionary, brilliant businessman and entrepreneur, and huge philanthropist .
The Venetian is my favourite hotel. Yes, it does seem a little dark, but that hasn't really bothered me. I could see how it might for someone else. I have always had a robe there (I can't remember about the slippers), so I'm not sure if they have chopped that with the pandemic or if it was just a mistake. I love the spacious comfortable room, which is perfect when going with a girlfriend, and I find I linger in the room a little more than I would otherwise. I am not a pool person, so I wouldn't notice the difference there. You've already touched on the restaurants and eating options at a wide variety of price points. I just find the Venetian relaxing and beautiful to wander around in. All of this being said, I am in my early 50's and the kind of vibe that attracts me is likely totally different than yours ... and that's ok! That's why it's nice to have so many excellent properties to choose from.
Agree about liking a mini fridge in a room!
Convenience *is* luxurious to travelers, Las Vegas Sands corp!!
Just stayed at the Venetian January 11 through 14. Great hotel. Great variety of restaurants, and shops. Casino was fairly tight with payouts. I had to laugh when you mentioned the lack of slippers. That was our pet peeve about the suite. We did have robes though.
Love love love the Venetian! Stayed there 10 years ago! My favorite strip hotel! Second favorite is the Wynn, met Henry Winkler at the Wynn years ago. Wynn had turn down service I wonder if they still have it.
Venetian is top tier for hotels in LV. We stayed there in June and had a wonderful time. I would defiantly stay there again. Curious to see a ranking from Ruby as to what her top hotels are right now.
Imperial palace was at her 🔝🔝🔝
@@lstruggy
☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️
Venetian is our home away from home when we visit Vegas. I think robes were removed when covid started, they were amazing I hope they bring them back soon. Not a big fan of that pool but the jacuzzis on the 10th floor are amazing. They do have to add a personal mini fridge, only a mini bar is kinda forcing you to buy their juices & water when you wake up hungover 😂 great video Ruby! Hope to meet you guys one day :)
Would love to see you do a ranking of your favorite hotels.
Agree
Stumbled on your channel and love your insights. All your points are valid for the Venetian. However, for me, it's hard to beat all the amenities of the hotel casino as a whole. As a frequent visitor it works for me. Subscribed! Can't wait for your next vid. 😘
Great video, good content- just want to say the video of the property especially at the beginning was so well done. You made it look better than the marketing videos the Venetian puts out. Really nice work!
I stayed at the Venetian the first trip to Vegas. It is over the top beautiful architecture with the canals and gondolas
It's also over the top expensive and the slots were tight.
The Venetian and palazzo were amazing. Caesar and bellagio were ok. Venetian pools (including the hidden one that you didn’t mention) and spa areas are top notch. I can’t wait to stay again
The Venetian is my absolute favourite hotel we always stay there. We did get robes and slippers in our standard room. Food options are amazing my go to places are Cut & Grand lux ❤️
Love the Venetian and Palazzo! Always my first choice and I've stayed at many....MGM, Aria, Cosmo, Wynn/Encore, Bellagio, Marriott Grand Chateau...just so much to do and so convenient! I think Resorts World is next on my list though! 😎
I love your videos! You're not overly detailed, direct and but honest and always share a good deal!!! Best combination!
We stayed here in June right after Vegas opened up for my Son's wedding. I was wondering if you'd go to Delmonico as that is where we all ate for the wedding dinner. Service was outstanding and the Ribeye was on point. Loved our stay at The Venetia. Oh yea, try the Japanese Breakfast off the room service menu. Pricey but really good!
When I stayed at the Venetian in mid June, I paid $115 a night, and that included the resort fee (mid week, of course). I absolutely loved my stay! Of course, I don't have the advantage of having tried every other hotel on the strip.
For the average vacationer, and especially for first time vacationers, you will have an absolute blast!
exactly We went last month at the Venetian we booked in april got a super deal was not over $200 we stay four nights airfare included .
It pays to go midweek
@@Christine_1075 WHAT wad the total - 3 day stay & airfare ?
Ditto
I agree for about a five nights stay don't really worry about the decor of living and dining room
I love the Venetian! We just stayed there a couple weeks ago. I agree about the pool, we had a cabana one day and a plunge pool the second day - and I’m not sure I would have loved it as much as I did if we’d been at the regular pool. But it is one of the few pools that has free umbrellas!
Since spring 2018, the Venetian/Palazzo Hotel Guest areas have heightened security measures at the hotel: there is a guard watching the guest elevator at all times and the guests have to tap the room key in front of the guard and the card reader has to be displayed green to get past the elevator entrance.
yea, stupid shit.
Does everyone in your party have to have a card to gain access to elevator?
@@rathanaephuong3081 There should not be one too many guests in group gatherings at a time to access the elevator arena, limit is approximately no more than five in a party.
Dream Big Productions/Plush Bat Fan thank you we will have four people 2 room keys!
That is a great idea to have guards at elevators again like they used to in the 90s.
Great review Ruby! I've never stayed there before but on other vlogs when I've seen the room tour it looks "old timey" to me, not my style either. I also agree that the pool area just seems 'O.K'. There's a reason that I've never chosen it, I'm a Mandalay Bay guy and I think I'll keep floating in the lazy river.
please don't go by this review...the hotel is amazing. This review gave a really bad impression..
please read the other comments
Great video, as always. I stayed at the Palazzo in May, and we went to The Dorsey several times. They have a great drinks and a good Happy Hour, too.
🌺🌺🌺 Wow!! I totally disagree with almost everything you have said :( #1. I don’t care about the robe and slippers thing. I never wear hotel robes, just a personal preference, I think they are disgusting no matter where... #2 Every time we have stayed there, our room was bright and beautiful not dark....silvers, light blues, lavenders so it’s weird you said yours was dark and not your thing, but that’s ok too. #3 I know the pool could be bigger but it’s beauty and the vibe surpasses that and I like the littler pools too. #4 EXCELLENT customer service! I have had major issues with the Bellagio’s staff both times I have stayed there. #5 The Grazie reward program is GREAT! #6 I love the Arancia toiletries, they smell divine and are in abundance. #7 The beds are the best in town! Like sleeping on marshmallows! The towels and sheets etc are great too. I’m sorry you didn’t love it as much as I or others do but I’m glad you had a nice time for your birthday! I’ll be there in November for mine! 🌺🌺🌺
I agree with your response. I love both the Venetian and Palazzo. However, the Palazzo is much more brighter and more upscale. You may want to try that side before deciding not to stay there again. The rooms mimic each other but the Palazzo is more modernized. each The rooms we had all were bright and beautiful. I second not caring about the robes and slippers. I’m not wearing a robe and slippers that everyone else in the world has worn. No thank you, like you said it’s a personal preference. Just like I never use hotel washcloths on my face. Washcloths been in to many peoples private body areas. The hotel is awesome, the customer service was excellent. There very accommodating and the awards program I do like. Out of all the hotels on the strip, this is by far my favorite place to stay. The design is not for everyone but space wise you can’t beat it. I’m looking forward to our trip back there.
I’ll be there in November for my birthday too! First time staying at this property! I’m so excited!
I tend to disagree with her as well. Normally she's very informative but I've stayed at The Venetian many, many times and always have an amazing experience. The Wynn is my all time favorite, but The Venetian is a close second :)
I’m with you on this
I’ll be there on Wednesday! I’m glad your response eased my thoughts on this!
So far it looks like a very nice hotel ☺️
I live in Las Vegas ,and I love the Venetian💕
Happy late Birthday Ruby!!! I love your vids. Thanks for making them
I really like how accurate you describe an emotion or how you feel about an experience in particular!! Thanks 🙏
Great vlog, personally I love the Venetian and its location. But everyone has an opinion and this vlog was very informative .
I get the Venetian for $70 a night plus Resort Fee during the week with my reward card. Best bang for your buck on the strip in my opinion. Friday and Sturady can get crazy though so I avoid those days, usually change hotels. And NO I am not a big gambler, mostly poker. Not having a fridge in a suite kinda sucks but I just go to the CVS next door and get cooler and other amenities, foods and drinks for room. CANNOT beat the food choices. Grand Lux is best 24hr restaurant in Vegas right now from my experience Having a TV in the bathroom is nice touch except whoever designed it really messed up cause u can't lay in the tub the right way and see tv.
You nailed the review! We love the Venetian but your critiques are the same as ours. It was so strange to see everything so quiet when you were filming. That place is always packed!
Venetian and Palazzo are the only two hotels in Las Vegas that are all suite rooms. All rooms are suites.
I like the fact that you make it a point to eat all 3 meals like breakfast at breakfast time lunch at lunch time and dinner at dinnertime you don't skip meals which is good
You are so great! Fun to see all these Vegas and casino videos. It reminds me of, believe it or not,some family trips with my mom, dad and brother (and even grandmother and aunt once!) Anyway, glad I found you. Very sweet and real. But when does the husband make an appearance ?😂
I love the Venetian and I have stayed at many Hotels in Vegas. I guess it is personal preference.
Grand Luxe Cafe in the Venetian is 24 hours. Only one on the Strip that is open late after COVID. Buddy V's has some amazing food too.
For my taste top two hotels in Vegas- I love everything Italian - thank u
My sister does staycations here and she loves it. She did agree that the room's decor is dark. She noted that you missed a whole other food court. The rooms are definitely comfortable.
Thank you for making this! Your reviews are so good and The Venetian is on my list to try next. I have always admired the style, and it is restaurant heaven! I see where you are coming from on the price point vs. offerings. Maybe in a post-pandemic world some of the offerings will come back or be enhanced. I also love a good fluffy robe :). Your white dress is so beautiful btw.
Ive been waiting for you to do a Venetian review for ever. You the best guys thanks alot
Was there just like week. We stayed at the Venezia towers. Love the quietness and the isolation as well as our own garden pool. Our room didn't have robes or slippers but we called and it was delivered within 20 minutes. ONLY NEGATIVE was the AC in the hotel and specifically in the Venezia hallway was freezing! We both ended up with the flu upon leaving 🤧!
I went to the Venetian 2 weeks ago, standard but with the Mirage strip view. Only complaint was that the room needs a minor renovation but not soo much and maybe more elevators in the towers
