Travellers don’t usually associate charming Italy with the bright lights of Las Vegas, but The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino succeeds in being the perfect pairing of Sin City and La Serenissima.
Situated in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas Boulevard, the 1.5 billion dollar complex is considered one of the largest and most luxurious resorts in the world. Rising 36 stories above the strip and boasting more than 3,000 elegantly furnished hotel suites, The Venetian, along with its equally impressive sister resort, The Palazzo, occupy an unmistakable spot in the Vegas skyline.
It was while honeymooning in Venice with his wife Miriam that inspiration struck Sheldon Adelson, CEO of the Las Vegas Sands Corporation, the company that owns The Venetian. Naturally, the couple was enchanted by Venice’s romantic atmosphere, and Adelson was moved to combine the romance of Venice with the luxuries of Vegas in a new project.
