I have to disagree, the venetian is one of the best places you can stay in Las Vegas, maybe that just because it’s the only place I’ve ever stayed hahah

When I called to confirm a bunch of reservations that I made (thanks to a super $69.99 per night Club Grazie member promo valid through 9/11/2009), I was told that the Venezia tower is reserved for Club Grazie members and conference guests. Just recently I stayed there and after many trips, finally got a room in the Venezia tower that included the TV in the bathroom and DVD player in the living room; however, I had to request a bathrobe.

This would indicate that they have wholesaled out all their rooms and taken a flat fee rather than risk having unsold rooms. Its unfortunate because if you book through Expedia usually a casino will not comp your room. Its generally best for a gambler to book driectly with the airline and directly with the hotel rather than to accept a package deal from Expedia or other travel aggregator. The travel aggregator makes its money on capturing the air traveller’s hotel and rental car revenues.

Is this a sign of fiancial trouble for a high end place or simply a way to cut costs by lopping off all the time and effort needed to actually market rooms at a favorable price mix.

Perhaps they are reserving the suites for comps only?

We have stayed at the Pilazzo comped three then four nights our last two trips. They have been very generous to us and we only play relatively low level slots (Maureen may be a mid-player but I am definitely low).

In addition, they are the most aggresive casino operators when it comes to tournaments and free rooms.

I know they have a lot of rooms available and it seems amazing that they may be using them all but it is possible.

Anyway, we loved the suites in the Pilazzo and will go back again.

BTW don’t take the Srip view, the Wynn casino and golf course view is much better.

Wow. I’m a returning guest to the Venezia and I have to say I find that pretty rude.

It’s funny LVS brass believes they’re at the same level as Wynn and that they deserve the same daily rates. Aside from having total abortions for websites, they have little in common.

I so don’t get the whole Venetian thing. Every time I’m there, I just want to be somewhere else.
