Venetian Resort Hotel Casino Reviews
Overall Impressions
5/5
Wow. What more can I say. This place is beautiful and so spacious. There is tons of room between tables and they also have a few players lounges that are very comforable to hang out while you wait. Also, if you're interested in plasma screen they have close to 2 dozen of them showing all the sports events.

4/5
They are professional for the most part and know what they are doing. I had one guy who was a bit abnoxious to a few people who were new and a bit drunk, but for the most part very good.Food and Drink
5/5
Fantastic. Beautiful servers and they offer top shelf liquor and plenty of frozen drinks. They also serve food at the tables.Wait Time/Overall Service
3/5
Because it so good and getting more known by the minute, the wait can be fairly long. They do have a list on the computer screen which is good. The managers are pretty friendly.Comps
5/5
They have a big bad beat jackpot and I believe they give $3 per hour for their comp program which is really good.Overall Impressions
4/5
This room has moved up to the top of my list of favorites. They put a lot of thought into the design, a reflection of this beautiful hotel. The chairs are most comfortable, and the tables are spaced out from each other. I liked the comfortable waiting area, and, of course, a non smoking room is a must for most of us. My friends and I will make this a must stop. Atmosphere
4/5
As pointed out above, this is a comfortable room in every respect and very conducive to a good playing experience. The positioning of all those TV screens around the room seems to be very popular with the typical sporting public.Dealers
4/5
I look for dealers who are professional, which means moving the game along, keeping out of the way, not trying to be other than pleasant. That is what I have found the few times I have played this room. My table mates did not give any trouble, which helps also, because sometimes an inexperienced player might bring out the bad side of a dealer.Food and Drink
3/5
I do not drink, so this was not something I paid attention to very carefully, but there were attractive servers around and people were ordering and receiving drinks and food at the table.Wait Time/Overall Service
4/5
I was lucky to be seated within 15 minutes every time I have played at the Venetian, lucky I guess. The managers seemed to have control of the room. I have been told by others that there can be a wait, because of the growing popularity of the room, but there are lists kept, and managers manage to get you a table within a reasonable amount of time. Basically, they treat their customers very well here. It is a first class operation.Comps
2/5
I rarely pay attention to comps, because they do not amount to much, but there seems to be $1 or so, for each hour of play, but don't go by me. Not great -- can a room be too big?

Overall Impressions
3/5
I was really looking forward to playing this room after reading about it online, but was not overly impressed. It's not really a room at all, it's an area off of the main casino floor and is separated by a low wall. It is actually a bit too large. I played a few times during the week and each time I played only 10% or so of the tables were in use. The tables are very far apart so it feels even more empty then it should.
In terms of the play, I played in only the $1/2 game because my wife wanted to play with me -- or let me say better, I wanted her to play with me! There is a $200 max, which is a bit low AND two things that I didn't like were that they made you post if you didn't want to wait for your blind (some casinos do not make you post) and they do not let you reload if you fall a bit below $200 unless you want to reload back to exactly $200. They are very strict about this. Many casinos are more reasonable, even if they do have a cap. Also, cash does not play here which is a bit unusual. All rooms I have played at let you use $100 bills. Perhaps the higher-limit games are more reasonable.Atmosphere

Because there is no wall separating this room from the casino floor, it gets very noisey. There are plenty of flat screen TV's and the tables are all nice. My one complaint about the tables is that they use a light cream color felt. The felt on all of the tables I played on was stained.
As I mentioned above, there is almost too much room here. It feel very empty and the action and excitement is missing a bit because of it. If you are an NBA center however and need tons of leg room, this is the place for you!
There is a nice waiting area off to the side with fancy leather coaches which is very nice.Dealers
5/5
The dealers were all very friendly and professional. I normally play in a $2/5 or $5/10 NL game but I was playing with my wife who is a beginner so we played the $1/2 NL game. Most of the people were very new to the game and the dealers were very helpful and inviting to these new players.Food and Drink
4/5
They serve top shelf liquor and the very attractive waitresses are quick to bring over drinks. They have two menus and you can eat at the table. With one menu you can have the food delivered to you. You can also order from a nearby restuarant and the food is a bit better -- however you need to walk across the room to pick it up.Wait Time/Overall Service
3/5
I initially wanted to be seated at the $2/5 table, but there was no seat so they sat me at a $1/2 table. However, they never came and got me when a seat did open up. They said later on that they paged me, but in most rooms they will note where I was sitting and come and get me.
They were accomodating a few days later when my wife and I wanted to sit together and they worked it out for us.Comps

The room is clean, new, big, spacious, quiet enough, luxurious and well run. I can't think of anything bad about this room.
I like this room better than any other I have ever played in.Atmosphere
5/5
The tables are among the best in Vegas. The chairs are as good as any I've sat in at any poker room. The tables are spread apart far enough. The room is far enough away from the main casino so there is no smoke odor, and it is very quiet compared to many other card rooms. Only Caesar's poker room is more secluded in my opinion.
The players at 1/2 and at the SNG seemed soft mostly. It seemed like it was mostly tourists who were inexperienced.Dealers

The dealers seemed very good.Food and Drink

The drink service was quick and I think you can get whatever you want. The waitresses looked pretty nice too.Wait Time/Overall Service
5/5
The sign up process was easy and they seemed very well organized. I played 1/2 nl there twice and played a $90 sit and go once. The first time I was with a friend. We requested to sit at the same table and play 1/2 nl and there was no wait on a weeknight. The second time I was alone and waited about 10 minutes for a 1/2 game on a Friday afternoon. They announced there was one seat left in a sit and go tourney while I was playing 1/2 so I took it.
