Venetian Resort Hotel Casino

In the spirit of Venice, The Venetian is a little piece of romantic Italy right here in Las Vegas. The Venetian is an "all-suite" hotel, with rooms accented with plush linens and Italian marble. There are 4,027 suites divided into two towers: The 36-story Venetian Tower that offers guests a taste of luxurious Las Vegas and the new Venezia suites guarantee 12 floors of high-end elegance. The top five floors are the hotel's highest level of luxury with its private access, concierge lounge, upgraded features and even a dedicated staff.

The Venetian offers entertainment for the whole family with the critically acclaimed "Blue Man Group", comedian and songster Wayne Brady and the smash hit "Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular," a 90 minute version of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera.

The flagship of Venetian nightlife is TAO, an ultra-hip nightclub located inside of TAO Asian Bistro. V Bar is The Venetian's super smooth ultra lounge, made by the owners of New York City's club Lotus and Los Angeles' super swank Sunset Room.

There are 19 restaurants at The Venetian including: Thomas Keller's award-winning French restaurant Bouchon, Mario Batali's B&B Ristorante, Aquaknox for fresh seafood and the 42,000 square foot TAO Asian Bistro. Guests can float along The Grand Canal Shops in an authentic Italian gondola ride and pass stores like Burberry and Kenneth Cole along the way. And if you haven't caught a real celeb, on the street in Vegas, you can head over to Madame Tussauds to check out a wax one.

Nightclub & Bars

La Scena Lounge: La Scena pulsates nightly at 4pm and 9pm, as live bands perform everything from rock to disco to today's top hits. Dance the Vegas night away surrounded by grand Italian architecture, join in on a poker game, or simply relax and people watch at the full-service bar.

Tao

You may feel a little overwhelmed by the 60,000 square foot Tao complex that includes a massive nightclub, a restaurant, an ultra lounge and a rooftop beach club. You may feel intimidated by the line outside, which is the physical proof that if Tao were a high school student it would win Most Popular, Prom Queen and Most Likely to Marry Jake Gyllenhaal.

You may feel the tension (emotional, physical, sexual) when you see the almost-naked models in flower petal-filled bathtubs at the entrance, and you may feel your jaw drop when you realize that really is Pam Anderson sipping on a cocktail and chatting up a Manchester United soccer player. Everyone who is anyone is at Tao, and it’s all happening here—the word Tao actually means “that in virtue of which all things happen or exist.” So deep. With everything happening and existing all at once, we recommend taking it one step at a time.

Check out the scene in the ultra lounge, which features a towering 20-foot hand-carved golden Buddha, an infinity pool full of Japanese koi, waterfalls and walls made with century-old wood and stone and swathed in velvet and silk. Sample the sushi or lobster wontons in the restaurant, which must be doing something right since it’s the highest grossing restaurant in the country.

Then hit the club, which aims to please with two main rooms packed with gorgeous go-go dancers, nearly as gorgeous guests, three good-looking bars and private skyboxes that come with espresso machines and European Bottle Service. Last, but certainly not least, visit the 40-foot long rooftop terrace that boasts a breathtaking view of the Vegas lights and Venetian canals and on Saturdays a pool light show with floating Chinese lanterns and four 14-foot tall fire columns. If the music, the crowd, the dazzling décor and insane energy get to be a little too intense, just take a deep breath, let your eyes wander over the rock gardens and hundreds of Buddha statues and candles and tune into your inner Nirvana.

Dining

Aquaknox: Aquanox features fresh seafood flown in daily, including stone crab claws, caviar, grilled lobster and a huge raw bar. But if you aren't in the mood for fish, try the pan-seared filet mignon with truffle aioli. Headed by celebrated chef Tom Moloney, Aquanox is a sophisticated space wrapped in blues and greens to make you feel like you're at the bottom of the ocean. MORE >
