😤 The Venetian Las Vegas: A Sphere-Adjacent Letdown 🎡

I booked The Venetian for its proximity to the Sphere (a 10-min walk! 🚶) and parking convenience. Big mistake. Here’s why this “luxury” hotel missed the mark: 💸 Nickel-and-Dimed to Death Bait-and-Switch Water: The room had no pricing menu, no tags—yet we were charged $12 for two tiny bottles at checkout. 🚰 Resort Fees: $51/night for… Wi-Fi and a gym? 🏋️ 🛏️ Sleeping on Rocks Mattress: Firmer than a casino craps table. Sheets: Stained and scratchy—felt like sleeping in a dorm. 😴 🔊 Noise Nightmare Walls Thinner Than Poker Chips: Heard neighbors’ conversations (and arguments) all night. 🗣️ Elevator Chaos: 20-min waits during check-out rush. 🚨 🇲🇴 Vegas vs. Macau: A Tale of Two Cities For the same $300/night, Macau’s Venetian offers: Free Bottled Water (replenished daily) 🚰 Silk Sheets + Pillow Menus 🛏️ Quiet Zones for light sleepers 🔇 Final Verdict: The Venetian’s “Italian charm” feels dated and greedy. Save your money for the Sphere tickets—or better yet, book a boutique hotel downtown. 🏙️ 📍 Alternatives: The Cosmopolitan: Trendier vibes + free booze in the casino. 🍹 Nobu Hotel: Zen-inspired rooms near the Strip. 🎌 #VegasHotelReview #TheVenetian #AvoidTheStrip 😴
