The Venetian is one of the biggest “lookers” on the Las Vegas Strip — and that’s saying a lot given the glitz and the glamour found on South Las Vegas Boulevard. This property is themed after Venice, Italy featuring canals and yes, gondola rides.
This independently-owned Venice-themed property includes the Venetian sportsbook and a well-stocked casino floor. When the Venitian opened in 1999, it was one of the most expensive resorts built. That’s been surpassed, of course, but the Venetian remains one of the most attractive places on the Strip.
We’re about to take you into the Venetian with an honest review of the new and improved sportsbook, casino, and more!
The Venetian Las Vegas sportsbook is brand-spanking new. It was completely remade and relaunched in 2023 in partnership with Yahoo! and William Hill. The book spans an impressive 12,000 square feet and is a sight to behold.
Right in the middle of the sportsbook is an oval-shaped bar. It has a perfect view of the 46-million-pixel, 1,770 square-foot LED video wall that can display 40 different screens at a single time.
Other places to sit include the sofas and lounge, which can seat up to 105 bettors. There are even Yahoo “fan caves” for personal seating that feature their own 98-inch TVs and food-beverage service.
The Venetian sportsbook hours are quite flexible. From Monday to Thursday, it’s open from 8 am to 10 pm. On weekends, it stays open an extra hour til 11 pm.
Venetian Las Vegas sportsbooks odds are powered by William Hill, which is now opened by Caesars but still operates its own brand. William Hill’s odds are pretty similar to what’d you find at BetMGM or even DraftKings (which is banned in Nevada).
The William Hill app — downloadable on both Android and iOS — recently underwent a massive update. The whole platform was upgraded and it shows, especially if you ever used the app in the past. William Hill works all over Nevada, but outside of that? It depends on if they have a license.
For some bettors, it might make the most sense just to bet on an offshore betting app like BetOnline. This one, in particular, works across the United States.

The Venetian sportsbook online takes the betting options to another level, especially on props and “in-play” wagering. Here, odds and spreads change continuously as the sporting event unfolds. Every score, injury and penalty can affect the betting lines in what is also known as live betting.
This type of wagering has become extremely popular at other off-the-Strip venues as well — like the Palms and Red Rock.

The Venetian Sportsbook, Casino, and Resort Las Vegas and its world renowned Canyon Ranch Spa are located on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard near the north end of the iconic Strip. It is sandwiched between Harrah’s to the south and its sister property to the north — the Palazzo, which includes the Lagasse’s Stadium sportsbook.
While MGM and Caesars properties are charging as much as $20 a day for parking, this luxury resort gives guests a welcome break. The Venetian and Venezia offers its visitors complimentary parking.
There are many modes of transportation to rush new arrivals to the Venetian, including taxi, limousine, public bus service, and resort shuttle. But the best option are the ride share programs, which now dominate the market with visitors looking for a budget-friendly ride.
This monster-size resort delivers for every budget. The Venetian has more than 20 restaurants with an emphasis on everything Italian — from an affordable food court to some of the biggest names in fine dining today.
The Venetian and its sister property, the Palazzo, together house restaurants from five award-winning chefs. Here are some of the top names:
Venetian’s Luxurious Hotel The Venetian’s five-star hotel, which opened in May 1999, is at the top of the list for elegance and luxury, even though the signature scent of the resort might take some getting used to for new guests. The scent is called Arancia, which is an airy Mediterranean blend of ingredients. You can even buy the product if you want to take a piece of the Venetian home with you.
This is a huge and congested area, with multiple entranceways from convention rooms, the Strip and the Palazzo. It will seem like a maze at first. It might take some time to get to know your way around here. The casino attached to the Venetian sportsbook can be a bit intimidating.
They built it to resemble the interior of a Venetian palazzo. It has the 120,000-square-foot gaming room includes more than 1,700 slot machines and 130 table games. The Bellini Bar is in the center of all the action. It makes a good landmark for those trying to find their way around the room.
Table minimums are consistently high here. They start at $15 during the day and working up to $25 or more during peak periods or special events like the Super Bowl. However, complimentary drinks for those playing the slots or table games are easy to obtain here. This is especially truein the slower parts of the day.
