Sentiment analysis: I stayed here on a Monday evening and have stayed here before but never reviewed. This place along with Palazzo I feel have the best value of price, room quality, restaurants, shopping, and visual appeal. The only thing that keeps it from being a five star hotel is probably the customer service and the crowd. Palazzo is better in this area though. There are also 2 separate elevators you have to take if you are staying in the venezia tower for the suites. Room was great although I like lemon scented bath products better than the bitter orange stuff they use. Since I usually like pastry or biscotti for breakfast I really enjoyed the free continental breakfast special they had. Basically you can get all you can eat croissants, pastries, orange juice, fruit, or coffee. This place along with Palazzo are my go to places here in Las Vegas. The encore might have a slightly more luxurious room but the crowd there is for 50 year old country club types. Bellagio is a little too crowded and less of an authentic Italian design. Venetian is the best because you have the palazzo joint together with it. Go for a ride on the Gondola, stop at Illy(Palazzo) and get a cafe mocha, and go to Bouchon for breakfast if you don't have the continental special. For $139 I don't think there is a bigger nicer room or more luxurious hotel. Would advise anyone to stay here.

Sentiment analysis: Surprised to see a stand alone Thrifty's ice cream shop. Yes, I agree with the other reviews. I think that I built up Thrifty's ice cream in my mind because of nostalgia. I got my old time favorite Rocky Road. Average ice cream.
