On May 3, 1999, the $1.5 billion,
3,036 room, 35 story, The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino opened its doors
at 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South amid the flutter of white doves, sounding trumpets and singing
gondoliers, with Academy Award-winning actress Sophia Loren joining The
Venetian Chairman and 64% Owner, Sheldon G. Adelson, in christening the
first gondola. The Venetian opened on 1.7 million square feet of
property. The Venetian is the first all-suites hotel on the Strip. Its
guests enjoy spacious 700 square-foot suites with the finely appointed
accommodations that include a plush private bed chamber featuring draped
canopies, an oversized 130 square-foot bathroom finished in Italian
marble, and a sunken living room area furnished with a convertible sofa,
two upholstered chairs, a desk and game table.
The Venetian Hotel is a welcomed
