Alright, let me tell you somethin’ about this here Venetian Hotel, and how to get yourself checked in, just like I did when I went to that Las Vegas with my boy last year.
First off, you gotta get there. Now, if you’re drivin’, that’s one thing. I ain’t never drove in that big city myself, my boy did all the drivin’. But I’ll tell ya what I do know. You gotta find this here place, the address is somethin’ like 3355 Las Vegas Boulevard South. That’s what my boy told me. He typed it into that phone thing he’s got. A GPS, I think he called it. Follow that thing, and it’ll get you right to the door, more or less.
And lemme tell ya, that hotel, it’s a sight to see. Big, fancy, like nothin’ I ever seen before. They got all sorts of decorations, looks old-timey. Rooms big enough to get lost in. My boy said, “Ma, it’s antique decoration!” I just know it looked pretty, but kinda dusty.
But here’s the thing, before you even get to that fancy door, you gotta be old enough. Not like, old enough to get into a bar, but you gotta be 21. That’s what they told us. No kids allowed to check in, no sir. And you gotta have some kind of paper that says who you are. Like a driver’s license, I reckon. I showed ’em mine, had my picture on it and everything. I think any card goverment gave you will do it. You know, they just want to make sure you are who you say you are.
- Gotta be 21 to check in.
- Need a driver’s license or somethin’ like it.
- They check to make sure it’s really you.
Now, about this parkin’ business. I heard them talkin’ about it when we was there. If you live in Nevada, you get to park free for a little while. Three hours, I think they said. You gotta scan your license at some machine. But for us folks, you gotta pay. I heard it’s like, $20 or $23 a day. A lot of money just to park your car, if you ask me. But that’s how it is, I guess. Some hotels used to let you park free, but I hear even the Venetian and that other one, Palazzo, they charge now, too.
They got all sorts of things to help you out, once you get inside. This “concierge” thing, I don’t rightly know what that is, but it sounds important. My boy said it’s like someone who helps you with whatever you need. They can tell you where to go, what to do, all that stuff. And they got maps and such, so you don’t get lost.

And this here “mobile check-in,” that’s somethin’ else. You can check in on your phone, before you even get there. Up to 24 hours ahead of time, they said. Then they send you a message when your room’s ready. That way, you don’t gotta wait in line so long at the front desk. My boy did that for us, he’s always on that phone of his. I don’t know how he does it, but it seemed to work out okay. It is convenient, I have to say.
- You can check in on your phone, a day early.
- They tell you when your room is ready.
- Saves time waitin’ in line.
When you get to that Venetian hotel, you gotta go to the front desk. That’s where they check you in. You gotta show ’em your ID again, and the credit card you used to book the room. That’s how they do it. Just make sure you got all your papers in order, and you’ll be fine. My boy had to sign somethin’ too, I think.
Now, I heard some folks sayin’ you can’t drive right up to the front door. Somethin’ about the roads bein’ tricky. I don’t know about all that. Like I said, my boy did all the drivin’. We just followed that GPS thing, and it got us there. Maybe you gotta go around the back way or somethin’. I ain’t sure. Just follow the signs, I reckon. And ask someone if you get lost. There’s always people around, you can ask for directions. They will tell you how to drive to Venetian hotel.
There’s also these bus things, I seen ’em goin’ up and down the road. Public transportation, they call it. I guess you can take one of those to the Venetian, too. I saw somethin’ about an app, called “Moovit” or somethin’, that tells you how to get there on the bus. I don’t know nothin’ about that, though. I never rode a bus in my life. But it’s there, if you need it, I suppose.
And they got this app thing for the hotel, too. It shows you where everything is, like the restaurants, and the casino, and the rooms. Even the bathrooms. Pretty handy, I guess, if you’re the type to use those things. I just asked someone when I needed to find somethin’.

So, there you have it. That’s how you get to the Venetian Hotel and get yourself checked in. It ain’t too hard, really. Just remember your ID, and your money for the parkin’, and you’ll be alright. And don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Folks are generally pretty friendly, even in that big, busy city. Just be polite, and they’ll point you in the right direction.
Oh, one more thing. If you want to go to that Sphere place, you can walk there from inside the Venetian. They have this walkway, it is all indoors. Pretty neat, huh? You don’t even have to go outside in the heat. I don’t know about the way back, we didn’t go to that Sphere. But it is good to know.
