The stunning property was born from a romantic vision inspired by founder Sheldon Adelson's wife, Dr. Miriam Adelson, during their honeymoon in the romantic city of Venice. It was designed to replace the iconic Sands Hotel. Artists and architects trusted with the project traveled to Italy to study the city's landmarks and faithfully recreate its charm in the Nevada desert. As a result, the complex features hand-painted frescoes by Italian artists and authentic replicas of popular tourist spots like the Church of Santa Maria del Rosario.

The grand opening featured a parade of gondolas, complete with celebrities and performers. From its inception, The Venetian has been credited with contributing to Las Vegas's renaissance, offering guests an unparalleled blend of modern luxury and old-world charm in the heart of the entertainment capital.

  • Style: The overarching theme was designed to embody the grandeur of Renaissance Venice. Founder Sheldon Adelson went as far as ordering raw materials from Venice to maintain authenticity.
  • Inside, the property features several landmarks including a replica of St. Mark’s Campanile, the Rialto Bridge, and the Doge’s Palace. The facade features intricately designed archways and balconies, reminiscent of Venetian Gothic architecture.
  • Interior: The interiors are adorned with hand-painted frescoes, marble floors, and stunning mosaics. The Grand Colonnade ceiling and the opulent lobby with the Armillary Sphere are some of the most striking features of the complex.
  • Notable features: In addition to the beautiful interiors, the founder included several artistic masterpieces inside the property, like Samuel G. Bocchicchio's “Acqua di Cristallo” sculpture in The Palazzo Lobby and the iconic LOVE sculpture by Laura Kimpton.
