The Venetian Resort Las Vegas vs Wynn Las Vegas

Much the same floor space, ten minutes apart on foot: a suite of about 650 sq ft at The Venetian, an entry room of about 640 at Wynn Las Vegas. The Venetian, from about $240, roughly 60 per cent of the rate, if you want Sphere next door; Wynn, from about $400, if you would rather pay for Five-Star Tower Suites and spa, Wing Lei and the Lake of Dreams.

Choose The Venetian Resort Las Vegas if

  • A first Las Vegas trip
  • Sphere shows
  • Friends sharing a suite
  • Food and shopping under one roof

The catch

A $55 nightly resort fee plus tax is added to every stay. It covers in-suite Wi-Fi, the Canyon Ranch gym for two, local calls and boarding-pass printing, but not the spa, and self-parking costs hotel guests another $20 a day, valet $40.

Questions people ask

Good questions about The Venetian Resort Las Vegas vs Wynn Las Vegas

The Venetian Resort Las Vegas or Wynn Las Vegas?

Much the same floor space, ten minutes apart on foot: a suite of about 650 sq ft at The Venetian, an entry room of about 640 at Wynn Las Vegas. The Venetian, from about $240, roughly 60 per cent of the rate, if you want Sphere next door; Wynn, from about $400, if you would rather pay for Five-Star Tower Suites and spa, Wing Lei and the Lake of Dreams.

Is The Venetian Resort Las Vegas worth it?

Book The Venetian for a big remodelled suite with the pools, the canal, 40-plus restaurants and a covered bridge to Sphere, all without a taxi. Pay for the Sphere View, budget for the $55 nightly fee, and check your dates, since the same suite can cost nearly three times as much in a busy week. A small city of a resort in the middle of the Strip, where the suite, the pools, dinner and the shops are all on site and a covered bridge leads to Sphere. Expect crowds, long corridors and a casino at the centre of it all.

Does The Venetian Resort Las Vegas have a pool or a beach?

It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.

Is Wynn Las Vegas worth it?

Book Wynn Las Vegas for the polished, stay-put version of the city: a spa morning, the lake show or Wing Lei at dinner and a round on the course. Pay the step to a Wynn Tower Suite King, since the Five-Star rating belongs to the Tower Suites. A vast, polished Strip resort you need not leave, with Five-Star suites and spa, a lake show at dinner and golf behind the casino. It is expensive, and from the north end of the Strip the Center Strip is a long walk or a taxi away.

Does Wynn Las Vegas have a pool or a beach?

It has an outdoor pool. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
