  • Must walk inside the Venetian Casino to see the marble floor and painted ceiling. They spare no change in making this the most luxurious casino in Las Vegas.

  • After entering Venetian Casino and up the escalator, raise your head at the center hall and you'll see this beautiful painted ceiling. You know it's not Michelangelo, but it feels grander than Sistine Chapel. You have to admire Venetian's attention to details.

    Venetian Hotel/Casino: People-watching at Piazza San Marco

  • Singing group at Piazza San Marco
  • by mht_in_la
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • By far, Venetian's Piazza San Marco is still my favorite spot in all Las Vegas. I can sit here all day watching people from around the world interact with the Venetian entertainers, admire the amazing and amazingly real archtecture, or spend their hard-earn money on a shopping spree in the surrounding luxurious stores. The photo shows a singing group presented by the casino. So what do they sing? Famous Italian love songs of course.

    Venetian Hotel/Casino: Grand Canal at Venetian
  • Tip Rating:
  • Las Vegas Venetian Hotel/Casino
  • Gondola ride at Venetian
  • by mht_in_la
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Venetian Casino built a beautiful Grand Canal. Even the sky looks real. The gondola ride, although short, takes you through several bridges, including Rialto, and through many cafes and shops along the narrow canal. A few years ago I visited the real Venice in Italy and it was raining and flooding. Here I don't worry about a thing. Also, I didn't see one slot machine in the canal area, which really makes it tasteful.

  • Venetian built an incredible indoor Grand Canal, and it's on the 2nd floor! Make sure to take a gondola ride with your love ones (about $12 per person). The gondolier will sing you Italian love songs. Close your eyes and you are in Venice!

    Stratosphere: The top of Las Vegas

  • Statosphere
  • by mht_in_la
  • Send Photo to a Friend
  • Stratosphere is the tallest building in Las Vegas. The tower's 3-leg architecture is similar to the Space Needle in Seattle, but taller than the Needle. There's a rotating restaurant, an observation deck, and a small amusement park at the top. The photo shows the ride called the "Big Shot" that shoots you up to the very tip of the Tower. Great view.

    THE STRIP: Sunset at the Strip (1)

  • The photo was taken from the observation deck at the top of Statosphere Tower. Statosphere is located at the northern end of the Strip. The view from the top is great. At sunset, all the casinos and hotels start to light up. Las Vegas is like a man-made oasis in the middle of Nevada desert that never sleeps.

  • Another shot of the Strip at sunset. Besides the Strip, in this one you can see the traffic on I-15 freeway, the main connection between Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Also on the other side of freeway you can see another cluster of casinos like Rio, Palms, etc.

    DOWNTOWN: Downtown from top of Stratosphere
  • Tip Rating:
  • The photo was taken from the top of Stratosphere Tower. The bulk of buildings at the end of Las Vegas Blvd are the downtown casinos. In general, downtown casinos are older, smaller, and tightly built within a few blocks, while most casinos on the Strip are grander, newer, and with individual theme.
