Vegas - The Venetian

Welcome back MC...the Venetian is indeed a nice hotel. I personally like staying in the newer hotels like the Venetian because it seems like the smoke isn't as bad in the rooms and the overall hotel. Coming from California, we are spoiled here...a bit of smoke goes a horribly long way on the clothes, hair etc. But we loveeee Vegas! Love the entire suite hotel and their shopping and restaurant corridor, I spent a few hours there once waiting for Greg to finish up a meeting. Though I have to say that I was not super impressed with the Venetian's restaurants, IMO it seemed that the Bellagio has the best restaurants in terms of taste, what did you think?

Tell us more!!

Here's my Venetian pic I agree with Mara.. Vegas is SMOKEY! cough cough. I absolutely LOVED the Bellagio buffett. King Crab Legs, JUMBO cocktail shrimp, Kobe Beef, Prime Rib, the desserts....----------------

Yes Paris is not of the same caliber as Venetian and Bellagio but it sure is cheaper! It's still a very nice hotel and newer.

I personally would probably choose Bellagio then the Venetian. Reason being is that in Vegas, we spend NO TIME in our rooms. I'd much rather be out in the shops and restaurants and casino of the Bellagio than at the Venetian. But if you want to spend alot of time in the room, Venetian is probably better for you.

The Bellagio has what I have heard is the most amazing pools and outdoor fun...something like 3 pools and waterslides? Never seen it, but intriguing. Mandalay Bay has some great restaurants too.

It's not just Vegas. Everytime I leave California and travel to another state I have to re-adjust to people smoking in restaurants and bars.

hmmm. . .California is sounding like a pretty nice place to live

Here what drives me nuts is people smoking in public parks where i take my kids to play. in fact, one lady chain smoked the entire time she was there and I kept having to move my kids to other play toys to keep out of breathing distance! Flat out rude. lol - I should have pepper sprayed her

We stay in the Hyatt which is an all-suite hotel in the 'downtown' strip area...where all the activity is (which in PS isn't much..hee hee). I love the sun and the relaxed lifestyle, we just relax by the pool, sleep alot, and go out for dinner and ice cream at night. It's a great few-day getaway. However, when we did venture into other areas of the town...we were not impressed--even with other hotels. That one street is the best place to be IMO.
