The Venetian is one of Las Vegas’s luxury resorts, designed to look like Venice with actual gondola rides that glide through canals both inside and outside the property. In many areas the ceilings inside are painted like a sky and you don’t need to be a hotel guest to explore it, shop, dine, or take a gondola ride. If you do stay here, rooms are spacious and usually have a suite with a separate living areas and upscale finishes, giving it a truly elevated feel.
