About The Venetian

The Venetian Las Vegas is a casino-resort at 3355 South Las Vegas Boulevard in Paradise, Nevada, owned and operated by Las Vegas Sands Corporation (subsequently transitioned to Apollo Global Management). 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’s combined 159-table floor and 37-table poker room positions it at the top of the Strip by both table count and poker capacity.

Poker Room

The Venetian operates a 37-table live poker room — one of the largest poker rooms on the Las Vegas Strip — spreading 7 Card Stud, Limit Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em, and Omaha Hi-Lo. The 37-table capacity with four distinct game variants makes the room capable of running multiple simultaneous games at different stakes levels, from small-stakes tourist tables to higher-limit cash games.

The Venetian poker room has historically been one of the most cited and well-reviewed Strip poker rooms — the combination of scale, game variety, and the property’s premium hospitality environment draws experienced players alongside the tourist base. Omaha Hi-Lo splits the pot between high and low qualifying hands, requiring distinct strategic thinking from standard Omaha. 7 Card Stud is increasingly rare at Strip poker rooms, making its presence at The Venetian a meaningful differentiator. For Nevada poker rooms by pure size and game variety, The Venetian is at or near the top. Confirm current stakes, wait lists, and tournament schedule at venetian.com or (866) 659-9643.

Gaming Floor

The Venetian runs approximately 1,247 gaming machines alongside a 159-table game section spanning 14 game types. The machine floor covers standard reel slots and Video Poker. Table games include Blackjack, Craps, Roulette, Baccarat, Mini-Baccarat, Pai Gow Poker, 3 Card Poker, Let It Ride, Big 6, Race & Sports Book, and Simulcasting.

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.

Venetian Rewards

Venetian Rewards is an independent loyalty program covering both The Venetian and The Palazzo resort complex. Points accumulate on gaming, hotel stays, dining, spa, and retail spend — an integrated earn structure across all property spending rather than gaming-only. This distinguishes it from the Caesars Rewards and MGM Rewards programs in the Venetian/Palazzo’s competitive set. Enroll at the players desk or at venetian.com.

★ Editor note

The Venetian — 37-table poker room, Pai Gow Tiles, Spanish 21, and the Strip's most comprehensive multi-game poker program

The Venetian opened in 1999 and has maintained one of the Strip's most respected poker rooms ever since — 37 tables with 7 Card Stud, Limit, NL Hold'em, and Omaha Hi-Lo is the broadest four-variant menu on the Strip by table volume. The 159-table casino floor adds Pai Gow Tiles, Spanish 21, and Caribbean Stud Poker Progressive to the premium game list. Venetian Rewards earns across the full Venetian/Palazzo resort complex rather than gaming only. For visitors who want serious poker options alongside a complete luxury resort experience, The Venetian is the top answer on the Strip. Visit venetian.com or call (866) 659-9643 for current promotions and poker schedules.
