The complex was built on the grounds of one of the most memorable casinos – the Sands, and it is owned by the same Las Vegas Sands Corporation who is headquartered at the resort. The Venetian is the second largest hotel in the world (combined with the Palazzo), spanning over 4,049 rooms and 3,068 suites, and it is only out-shadowed by its Asian counterpart – the Venetian Macau.Īs its name suggests, the resort’s design and amenities pay tribute to the Italian city of Venice, with built replicas of Venetian landmarks like the Piazza San Marco and Rialto Bridge found at the location. The resort is a five-diamond luxury resort that is a complex of several venues including its sister casino – the Palazzo Hotel and Casino Resort. The Venetian is one of the most popular Casino resorts on the Strip, despite its relatively short history (opened in 1991).
