Celebrating their 25th anniversary, The Venetian Las Vegas has begun a huge redesign including renovated suites, new restaurant additions, a new gaming platform and a $188 million dollar renovation of the resort’s Convention Center.
Still boasting the largest standard rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, designers Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo are redesigning the 4,000 spacious rooms and suites in the Venetian Towers. The South Tower is now complete, and the new rooms include a cabernet color scheme replacing the old purple theme. The ornate costumes of the Venetian Carnival are the inspiration for the new suites. Accenting the deep red theme are blue and gray accents on pillows, tables, chairs and walls with a beige carpet with a red and gold hexagon line design. There is also two 65-inch Samsung TV’s bedside standard and USB charging ports, and a nice reading light on each side of the bed. The worktable in the sunken living room is gone and replaced with a round dining table and a new huge red sectional sofa provides extra sleeping space with a pull-out bed as well as comfy seating for a large crowd.
A big plus is the new empty refrigerator to store water, snacks and leftovers.
There is also a under lit luggage rack built into the vanity under the television, providing a nice space for luggage but new rooms offer less drawer space.
The bathroom has a pretty new marble countertop for the dual sinks, a full mirror and lighted mirrors above the sinks, a beautiful vanity area with a big lighted mirror and added big dispensers in the shower – great if you want lots of product, not great if you liked to take home the little bottles.
“The Venetian Resort’s innovative spirit has had a massive impact on Las Vegas over the last 25 years and paved the way for our visionary $1.5 billion reinvestment,” said Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas.
In addition to the new suites which will continue to be redone throughout the North Towers, The Venetian has added a variety of innovative new restaurants. Gjelina, now housed in Venetian’s restaurant row, has been an LA favorite for years and brings its California farm to table dishes to Vegas diners. The menu is seasonal and sustainably driven and sources ingredients straight from the Santa Monica farmer’s market. Dishes can change weekly according to available seasonal produce and there is a large variety of vegetarian dishes on the menu as well as pizzas, pastas and main fish, chicken and steak entrees.
COTE Steakhouse, Gracious Hospitality Management’s first West Coast concept, will open in 2025. The Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse will be located in the Waterfall Atrium. Also opening soon is Bazaar Meat by Jose Andres, moving from its old Sahara location to The Palazzo (connected to The Venetian).
The resort has also unveiled the new Venetian Rewards, a new loyalty program housing both gaming and non-gaming spending and providing more ways to earn Rewards Points off the casino floor.
The Venetian’s Convention Center is also getting a $188 million upgrade including a new color palette, luxury lounge spaces for meetings and new technology enhancing options for business conventions.
For the past 25 years, The Venetian has been one of Las Vegas’s most luxurious resorts, and now with a huge number of upgrades, the Sphere, new restaurants, outstanding entertainment and a new loyalty program, it is worth a trip to the desert to experience the best resort on the Strip.
The Venetian Resort is located at 3355 Las Vegas Blvd South, reservations at 866.659.9643.
