Las Vegas Magazine Hall of Fame 2022: The Venetian and The Palazzo
$5,000 Welcome Bonus
Sheldon Adelson was a man of means who was well-invested in Las Vegas when he had a vision for canals in the desert, with gondolas piloted by singing gondoliers and a luxury resort-casino built around that. The vision came to fruition as The Venetian, eventually complemented by The Palazzo, becoming a one-of-a-kind property. The trade-show pioneer’s shining jewel contributed greatly to the Strip becoming a dining destination, with a major-league lineup of chefs recruited for restaurant row. Accommodations were top-notch, as were the entertainment, the spa experience, the nightclubs and the pools.
Today, its LOVE art installation by artist Laura Kimpton in its waterfall atrium has become an iconic must-visit site for Vegas visitors with a sense of romance, and the properties’ annual observance of Lunar New Year, with extensive thematic décor, has been embraced by the local community. Casino-hotels come and go, exploding with exciting grand openings and imploding to make way for the next phase in development. The Venetian and The Palazzo’s Italian-inspired elegance exudes permanence, indicating Adelson's vision will endure.
