It wasn't my first time at the Venetian but I was glad to be back. I love the huge rooms and the opulence, and the fact that you can fit 6 people in the Bella Suite; more if you don't mind sleeping huddled like sardines on the bed, or sleeping on the floor.
Anyway, Venetian is such a huge hotel so it's easy to get lost. Good thing they give their guests maps for easier navigation. While there are a lot of people milling around, once you get to the hotel wings, you'll see a staff checking people out, asking which room you'll go or asking to see your key card. Security is good.
As for the room, it's plush and very large. You could do cartwheels in there. The beds are kept separate from the sunken living room with railings. There are two queen-sized beds and the sofa converts into a bed, too. Just ask for extra sheets, pillows and a comforter if you want to sleep on it. Oh, there are two tvs, too.
Of course, the bathroom is huge. The shower, toilet and bath are separate, with the dressing area taking up much of the room.
My friends and I availed of Venetian's package which includes breakfast and one-way ferry to HK for two, a photobooth picture and 200 MOP shopping credit at participating stores at the hotel.
This is the package we availed of.
Our room has amazing views of the surrounding hotels but I think most of the rooms have equally compelling views. After all, the windows are floor to ceiling and there are no uninspiring edifice in the vicinity. At night, you'll get glittering lights from the nearby hotels.
The Venetian is so huge we didn't even have the time to explore it in its entirety!
Like this place seen on our windows.
City of Dreams, Crown and Hard Rock.
There is another attraction at the Venetian that pulls people in, aside from its casino: shopping at the Shoppes at the Grand Canal, Shoppes at Cotai Central and Shoppes at Four Seasons. These sections are interconnected so you could go from one section to another.

Of these Shoppes, the Shoppes Grand Canal is most frequented by visitors. Why? Because there's an indoor canal with gondolas to take you around and the shoppes are Venetian-style which little arch bridges, lamp posts, and yes, the ceilings are painted with clouds.
Another reason why it's famous? Koreanovela addicts know the answer! Boys Over Flowers had location scenes shot here.
