What to expect:
The lobby, decorated in many colors of Italian marble, features a 24-karat-gold-leaf statue and a high, frescoed dome that signifies the opulence and dazzling colors found throughout The Venetian. Re-creations of famous Venetian landmarks, many to scale, such as St. Mark's Square, Campanile Tower, Doge's Palace, Rialto Bridge, and the Grand Canal are found inside and outside. Under a sky-painted vault ceiling, the Grand Canal Shoppes provide a quarter-mile of shopping, dining, and entertainment.
Amenity highlights: Modeled after a formal Venetian garden, a rooftop, five-acre pool terrace includes two huge pools, two 18-person spas, columns, gazebos, massive tile-faced planters, and lemon trees. For-rent pool cabanas come with telephone, television, and stocked refrigerator. World-renowned Canyon Ranch SpaClub offers 65,000 square feet of rejuvenation space spread over two floors. In addition to massage and beauty, body, and facial treatments, the spa provides three fitness gyms with classes, a spinning gym, a weight room, a 40-foot climbing wall, saunas, steam rooms, 12-person spas, quiet lounges, a juice bar, and a spa-cuisine café.
