About The Venetian
The Venetian Las Vegas is a casino-resort at 3355 South Las Vegas Boulevard in Paradise, Nevada, managed by Apollo Global Management (Venetian Resort 2024 responsibility report). The property opened in 1999 on the site of the former Sands Hotel and operates as a full-scale luxury Strip resort modeled on Venice, Italy — Grand Canal Shoppes, gondola rides, and Italian Renaissance architecture throughout the property. All gaming is regulated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board, with a minimum gambling age of 21. The floor operates 24 hours a day. Phone: (866) 659-9643.
The Venetian and The Palazzo operate as a single integrated resort complex at 3355–3325 S Las Vegas Blvd, sharing a gaming floor and resort infrastructure. Venetian Rewards is the joint loyalty program. The property’s social media presence spans @VenetianLasVegas (Facebook), @venetianvegas (Instagram), @VenetianVegas (X/Twitter), YouTube, and LinkedIn — one of the more comprehensive social footprints of any Las Vegas casino. For visitors evaluating Paradise casino resorts, The Venetian Resort’s poker room is now in The Palazzo and has expanded to 50 tables across 14,000 square feet, according to the resort.

Gaming Floor
The Venetian Resort has two casinos, in The Venetian and The Palazzo, with slots, table games, high-limit gaming and a sportsbook. (The Venetian casino overview)
Two table game types warrant specific attention. Pai Gow Tiles — the Chinese domino game played with 32 tiles — requires a separate strategic system from Pai Gow Poker and is available at very few Strip casino floors. Spanish 21 uses a 48-card deck (no 10-spot cards) with player-favorable rule liberalizations including player-21 always winning, and enhanced payouts for 5-card, 6-card, and 7-card 21s. The Caribbean Stud Poker Progressive Jackpot version funds a community jackpot triggered by a royal flush, with smaller payouts for lesser premium hands.
