LAS VEGAS May 1, 2003 When guests book rooms at the all-suite Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino this summer, they will have a tough choice to make: luxury or more luxury?
Separate from the current 3,036 all-suite hotel tower that features the largest standard rooms in the world according to the Guinness Book of World Records, "Venezia" is a part of the resort's $275 million expansion that will provide The Venetian with a total number of 4,049 suites, making the Venice-themed luxury resort the third largest hotel in the world by room count. As a hotel-within-a-hotel, the 1,013 suite "Venezia" will debut an exclusive concierge-level of 122 suites complete with private access, upgraded amenities, a business lounge and an appointed staff of hotel personnel.
"Venezia" will overlook a lavish pool deck reminiscent of a Venetian garden. With breathtaking vistas, the garden will feature a swimming pool and three spas, ornate gazebos and five languid fountains. Additionally, the new tower will be home to an exciting new restaurant concept by one of the world's top chefs and will feature The Venetian's first wedding chapel with seating up to 150 people which can be separated into three smaller chapels.
Much like The Venetian's award-winning suites, the standard luxury suite accommodations of "Venezia" will average over 700 sq. ft., but their nine and a half (9' 6") foot ceilings will allow for a greater sense of space. The standard suite will include a spacious private bed chamber with draped canopies, an oversized 130 sq. ft. bathroom finished in Italian marble, and a sunken living room area furnished with a convertible sofa, two upholstered chairs, a desk and a dining table. The suite functions as not only a place to relax or entertain, but as a place to work if necessary. The standard room has three telephones complete with high-speed Internet access, data ports and a fax machine that doubles as a copier and computer printer. Additionally, the room features a safe large enough for a laptop computer, a fully stocked mini-bar and two 27" color televisions -- one inside a bedroom armoire, the other located inside an entertainment center in the living room. But, the lavishness has only just begun.
As an exclusive facility within The Venetian, "Venezia" will grant guests a separate and distinctive experience. Unique to Las Vegas will be "Venezia's" exclusive Concierge Level, where the top five floors on the west side of "Venezia" (Las Vegas Boulevard) will include 122 suites. These Concierge Level suites will come complete with appointed concierge services, including quarters of unsurpassed spaciousness, thoughtfulness and taste. In addition to the standard amenities of Venezia suites (see above), certain amenities will be available on the Concierge Level that will not be available in the rest of the hotel, such as:
