The Venetian Hotel and Casino is a 35-story luxury resort opened in 1999 in Las Vegas. On the theme of Venice, it presents many monuments of the Italian city such as the Doge's Palace, the Grand Canal, the Rialto Bridge, the St. Mark's Campanile and Square, the St. Mark's Clock Tower, among others. In 2007, the 50-story Palazzo Tower opened in the complex, making the Venetian the second largest hotel in the world.
The resort includes its own meeting space, as well as the adjoining Venetian Expo. The property also includes the Grand Canal Shoppes, and was home to the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum from 2001 to 2008. The Venetian has several performance venues, which have hosted entertainment such as the Blue Man Group (2005–2012), Phantom: The Las Vegas Spectacular (2006–2012), and Human Nature (2013–2020). A sphere-shaped venue and arena, known as simply Sphere, opened in September 2023.
Tao, a popular nightclub and restaurant, opened in 2005. It covers 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2), including 12,000 sq ft for the nightclub. A dayclub, known as Tao Beach, opened in 2007. The five-acre Tao Beach covers the nightclub's rooftop.
Tao Asian Bistro has consistently ranked as the highest-grossing independent restaurant in the U.S. since its 2005 opening, in part due to alcohol sales in its bar. The restaurant features Asian decor, including a giant Buddha statue. Another restaurant, Royal Star, also served Chinese food until its closure in 2006.
