2024 Readers’ Choice Awards: The Top Hotels in Las Vegas
"Just walking into The Venetian lobby feels like taking a trip to the Bel Paese; it’s completely frescoed to its vaulted ceiling, and its centerpiece is a massive, gilded sphere held up by four golden women. After having passed a replica of Venice’s campanile and Rialto Bridge, arriving in this basilica-style registration area should feel totally cheesy—and yet, it is so over-the-top and grand, you can’t help but be impressed. The complex is enormous, with more than 7,000 rooms and three million square feet of retail and meeting space spread across the Venetian and Palazzo hotels. But perhaps the most memorable thing about the place is its huge array of restaurants, including Estiatorio Milos for incredible seafood (and the Strip’s best lunch deal), Mott 32 for excellent Chinese food, and new openings from superstars Tetsuya Wakuda (Wakuda) and Eyal Shani (HaSalon). Beyond dining, everything you need can be found inside The Venetian. The gym is actually a Canyon Ranch, where you can go on the climbing wall, get nutritional counseling, and even have your gait analyzed, while the spa is full of unexpected extras, such as acupuncture." - CNT Editors
