The Venetian is certainly a Las Vegas Institute. They have plenty of of function rooms for events such as Amazon's reinvent and Microsoft inspire. The number of restaurants is impressive and upstairs where they have the gondola, there are some great places to eat and my only complaint is the smoking that is still allowed in the casino area which you have no choice but to walk through. The smell gets stuck on you even as you walk through. Otherwise I think this place would be rated higher.
