Built on the former site of the historic Sands Hotel in the center of the Las Vegas Strip, the Venetian takes the idea of a mega-resort to a new level. The Italy-themed property features two towers comprising more than 4,000 suites, over 1.9 million-square-feet of meeting space, 80-some-odd stores in its Grand Canal Shoppes and 20 restaurants from celebrated chefs such as Thomas Keller, Wolfgang Puck and Emeril Lagasse. The newest suites are found in the Venezia Tower, which has a separate check-in area and offers access to the private Venezia Garden Pool Deck. But the best part? The bathrooms. Nearly a third of the size of the room itself, each bathroom includes a Roman tub with a separate glass-enclosed shower, marble countertops and intricate gold detailing. Additional amenities include a private work area with fax/printer/copier, dual-line telephone, wireless Internet access and flat-screen TVs in both the bedroom and living room.
