One huge drawback in Las Vegas is the lack of taxis. There are plenty of them, I guess, but so many gamblers and conventioneers to cater to that the line for taxis is invariably long. So we usually walked from place to place, which in the case of our walk from Luxor to the Venetian meant a very long walk. The Venetian seems to be the most over the top hotel. They did an outstanding job of recreating the Piazza San Marco and the Grand Canal (except of course they put the Canal indoors and lined it with shops).
