"That said, for a classic experience, stay at The Venetian. The whole place is so marvelously over-the-top that it doesn’t matter that it looks nothing like the real Venice. That’s not the point. This is Vegas, baby." - Caitlin Morton
"As I amble through The Venetian Las Vegas hotel and casino complex, I try to block out the cacophony of fake Venetian gondoliers belting “Oh Solo Mio” against the beeps of slot machines, and I’m struck that every 200 feet or so I walk past a steakhouse — not just generic spots but boldface names like José Andrés, Emeril Lagasse, and Wolfgang Puck; in fact, there are six steakhouses ensconced within The Venetian." - David Farley
"Stepping into the frescoed, basilica-style registration area with its massive gilded sphere and replicas of Venice landmarks felt over-the-top but genuinely impressive; the enormous complex (more than 7,000 rooms and three million square feet of retail and meeting space) is home to standout dining—Estiatorio Milos for incredible seafood and the Strip’s best lunch deal, Mott 32 for excellent Chinese, and outposts from chefs like Tetsuya Wakuda and Eyal Shani—and offers robust wellness amenities including a Canyon Ranch gym (climbing wall, nutritional counseling, and gait analysis) and a spa with unexpected extras such as acupuncture." - CNT Editors
"Las Vegas has fully embraced the modern food hall — a new take on the food court model that has replaced buffets with trendy stalls from big-name chefs. The newest, and arguably most exciting, is a food hall inside the Venetian Resort. Among its standout offerings is a cult-favorite Los Angeles spot known for round-the-block lines and Nashville-style hot chicken fried until golden and craggly; the signature chicken sandwich is described as "juicy fried chicken with heat levels ranging from a mild zing to mouth-scorchingly hot, layered with slaw, cool pickles, and creamy sauce on a roasted bun." Sides like crunchy fries and indulgent thick banana pudding round out the meal, and, best of all, unlike the LA location, the Vegas outpost is still enough of a sleeper hit that there’s no line at all." - Janna Karel
"The later-day iteration of Mason Hereford’s presence in the hall, taking over after 11 a.m. and highlighted for serving fried bologna sandwiches as a distinctive midday offering." - Janna Karel
