The property was beautiful, luxurious, and very clean. Our family of five enjoyed the generous living rooms for each bedroom and elegant and high end bathrooms. The beds were super comfortable. I have one comment and one critique, the latter which I suspect is the fault of the Venetian and not the owners. Comment: this room is not a 2 BR suite as described in the text of the posting but rather two separate rooms connected by a door. The pictures, however, do accurately reflect the suite layout, and the connecting door was no issue for us - my husband and I quite liked being able to shut our teens on the other side. The Critique: we were told at the Venetian check in desk that if we so much as picked up the water bottles and other food items left out and about that we would automatically be charged. Likewise if we removed anything from the fridge to make space for our own items. I asked if the Venetian could simply remove all these items so that we wouldn't accidentally pick up a water bottle (apparently they are weighted in some way) and could use the fridge. I was told that if they did so, we would be charged a $150 restocking fee. For the prices we are paying, this is ridiculous.
I actually have one other comment on the Venetian and another on Vegas. Although the pools at the Venetian are lovely and numerous, none of them are what my children consider "swimming pools." Rather they are all lounging pools with little place to swim or play - plus they were absolutely packed and guests did that annoying thing of covering lounge chairs with towels so no one has a place to sit (suggestion to the Venetian - if a towel covered chair isn't visited by a guest for 30 minutes, take the towel and free up the spot for another guest.)
As for Vegas....it is deadly, dreadfully hot in August. It's also faker, cheesier, and more tawdry than I remember from 20 years ago (although maybe I've changed vs Vegas.) We did have an amazing experience at the Water Grill in the Forum Shops - the only restaurant we could get into without a reservation. The food was fantastic, and our waiter (I think his name was Fernando) was my favorite part of our trip to Vegas - a real class act.
So overall thumbs up on the room and the VBRO hosts, but Vegas itself? I won't be back.
