2025 Best of Las Vegas Award Winners

At The Venetian Resort, every key unlocks a suite. And that suite is inside the back-to-back Gold award-winner for Best Hotel on Vegas Strip. Let's see, what other boxes can we check? World-class restaurants? Check. A rejuvenating Canyon Ranch spa + fitness and a five-acre pool and garden deck inspired by the Italian Riviera? Double-check. Two landmark casinos? You get the idea. There are endless opportunities when you stay at the best hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, The Venetian Resort.

The Armillary Sphere is a grand reminder of the Renaissance spirit that guided the scholars and statesmen of Venice, Italy. This stunning recreation is the centerpiece of The Venetian lobby and an inspiring window into the artful craftsmanship that created it. Standing beneath the frescoed ceiling, the Armillary Sphere is a wonderful backdrop for photographs and a key feature that earned us Gold for Best Hotel Lobby in Vegas. Complementing this grand space is Sala 118, a gorgeous bar where guests can enjoy bespoke cocktails.

No one knows Las Vegas nightlife like TAO Nightclub, and it shows again by being awarded Gold for Best Nightclub in Las Vegas for the fifth year in a row.

Boasting three bars, private sky boxes, and a 40-foot outside terrace overlooking the Las Vegas Strip, it doesn't get better than this. From bathtub model to bottle service, this is a must-see-and-be-seen nightclub.
