Just as the The Venetian set a new standard for hospitality, luxury, and convenience, the new $275 million, 12 story, all-suite Venezia furthers that legacy.

Guests will discover a new sense of refinement adjacent to world-class gaming and entertainment.
With the addition of Venezia, The Venetian is now the third largest hotel in the world by room count. We are excited about the premier of Venezia and all it has to offer our guests, noted Brad Stone, Executive Vice President of Las Vegas Sands, Inc., the parent company of The Venetian. This will be the only place in the world where guests can encounter 18 fine dining restaurants, the world's largest convention center, and a world renowned art museum all under one roof.
Venezia overlooks a lavish pool deck reminiscent of a Venetian garden. With breath-taking vistas, the pool garden features a swimming pool, three spas, and ornate gazebos. Additionally, Venezia features The Venetian's first wedding chapel, a 2,500 sq. ft. area seating up to 160 people which can be separated into three smaller chapels. Later this year, Venezia will be home to an exciting new restaurant concept by acclaimed chef Thomas Keller.
