The Venetian Las Vegas is an all-suite resort on the Strip, at 3355 S Las Vegas Blvd. Its indoor Grand Canal, gondola rides and Italian-inspired details make the public spaces worth exploring even if you are not staying overnight. Look for painted ceiling murals, marble floors, bridges and the replica Rialto Bridge, then browse the Grand Canal Shoppes or choose from the resort’s restaurants. Suites, pools, a casino and Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness are also on site, so you can spend much of a Las Vegas visit here.
Venice-inspired details indoors
The Venetian brings Italian-inspired architecture into its Las Vegas resort. Across the interior, look for painted ceiling murals, marble floors, columns, sculptures and bridges. The Grand Canal runs through the shopping area, with gondolas passing beneath bridges and singers accompanying some rides.
The replica Rialto Bridge and St. Mark’s Square add to the Venice theme. The scale of the property means there is plenty to notice as you walk, and the indoor canal gives the shopping area a distinct setting from the casino floor.
A resort with plenty under one roof
The Venetian combines hotel suites, a casino, shops, restaurants, pools and entertainment in one large complex. Its suites have separate living areas, and some include spacious bathrooms with a separate tub and shower. Views vary by room.
The Venetian connects to The Palazzo, its neighboring resort, and the two share many amenities. The Palazzo has a more contemporary style, while The Venetian leans into Italian-inspired decor. The resort’s size is a trade-off: there is a broad choice of places to eat and spend time, but getting between them involves walking.
Pools and Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness
The resort has multiple outdoor pools, with different areas suited to families, adults or a livelier pool scene. The Garden pool on the south side of the 10th floor is a choice for a less crowded setting. Pool areas can differ in sun and shade depending on their layout.
Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness includes treatment rooms, a fitness center and wellness facilities. Treatments mentioned include Thailates and facials using a 24-karat gold mask. The spa is a separate reason to set aside time at the resort; check the current details before planning around a particular treatment or facility.
Dining and shopping
Restaurants and shops are spread across the resort, including the Grand Canal Shoppes. Buddy V’s Ristorante is one option for Italian cooking. Other restaurants mentioned at the property include Bouchon, a French bistro with seasonal dishes such as roast chicken, steak frites, croque madame, pot de crème and lemon tart.
Bouchon’s dining room has a mosaic floor, a pewter bar, antique light fixtures and hand-painted murals. The resort also has food courts for quicker, less formal meals. With many dining choices on site, you can plan a meal around the area you are already exploring.
