As one of the sophomore classes of casinos recently built, the Venetian is a testament to what meticulous details to high art concept can do.\n\nDECO: 5 stars\n\nSometimes it's really easy to take for granted how much care is taken into constructing casinos. In a place like the Venetian, you can see the canals, the gondolas, the museum, the shops. Everything you expect in a luxurious hotel and casino in Las Vegas. But from expectation, we forget what those details can add up to. At the Venetian, they take care to build up on the details. You can find sprawling marble columns, well decorated floors, and frescoes on the ceiling. Even the melody of a single accordion player near the check in can ease the stress of long lines and road weariness.\n\nCASINO: 3 stars\n\nBecause of the high quality production, it is very easy to forget that a casino is there to take your money, not to give it away. This casino definitely makes it easy to forget this simple point. But the more you linger at the casino, the more you start to realize how easy it is to lose your money. Like a hot model, you start giving qualities to this casino you assume it has because it's so shiny and pretty. But the Venetian is no different than any other casino. In fact, it might be worse because of how high the stakes are.\n\nYes, they have penny slots like every other casino, but it seems harder to cash out without playing higher stakes. In fact, only when you play do you realize how hard it is to win money without investing lots of money in each bet. So, unless you're baller, you got to be careful of what you choose to bet cause you're going to bet high.\n\nROOMS: N/A\n\nI haven't stayed here yet as a hotel guest. I'll update this part once I do.\n\n\nCONCLUSION:\n\nThe Venetian knows what detail is and they make sure to show it, whether obviously or subtly. You get invested in how beautiful this place is, and you start seeing yourself staying here, being treated like a celebrity if you just spend a little more and get the comps. But that's the trap: the dream you desire is only created by the money you lose. That's a casino. As beautiful as the Venetian is, you need to remember they want your money, and they'll make you as comfortable as possible to take it. And boy, the Venetian is one shiny place to be.
