Rough Guide "Ranks behind only the Wynn properties as the Strip’s most luxurious resort."
Frommer's "One of the most elaborate hotel spectacles in town, The Venetian falls squarely between an outright adult Disneyland experience and the luxury resort experience." Full review
Concierge "In many ways, the Italian-themed Venetian is the perfect Vegas resort."
Fodor's "Some of the Strip's largest and plushest accommodations are found at this gilded resort that's a hit with foodies, shoppers, and high rollers alike." Full review
Insight Guides "Renaissance Italy is captured in dramatic architecture and landscaping, including canals with operating gondolas."
Lonely Planet "Vegas' own Serenissima features huge suites with sunken living rooms and countless luxuries from afternoon tea to pillow menus. Best for honeymooners." Full review
Travel + Leisure "The most painstakingly detailed of the themed casino resorts, the Venetian is a condensed version of its namesake city and features some of the largest suites on the Strip." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Whether or not The Venetian really evokes accurate images of Venice is beside the point: the sum of the hotel’s parts adds up to an aesthetically pleasing whole."
Condé Nast Traveler ""Luxury abounds" at this hotel constructed of green stone from the Italian Alps." Full review
Time Out "Attractions here are, with the arguable exceptions of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera and the adjacent Madame Tussaud's, pretty cultured." Full review

Rough Guide "With a hundred retrofurnished rooms – some with flowery windowboxes – it’s tiny by Vegas standards, and slightly lower-key than its Fremont Street neighbors."
Frommer's "Always the standout hotel in the Downtown area, a recent face-lift and expansion has made it more appealing than ever." Full review
Concierge "The only hotel-casino in the sector that comes close to rivaling the Strip in respectability is the Golden Nugget, with its clean... guest rooms, its boisterous casino, and its Rush Tower."
Fodor's "The Golden Nugget has pretty much reigned as Downtown's top property since the mid 1970s, evolving with the times, but maintaining classic appeal." Full review
Lonely Planet "Looking like a million bucks, this casino hotel has set the downtown benchmark for extravagance." Full review
OysterUpper-middle-range
"For the price, the Golden Nugget is a steal, provided you don't mind staying in Vegas' older downtown neighborhood instead of the newer, livelier Strip." Full review
Time Out "Following the improvements, the Nugget has consolidated its position as the best casino on Fremont Street." Full review
Star Service "Despite a few flaws, it is one of the most solid values to be found in downtown Las Vegas." Full review
BlackBook "The flagship casino of revitalized downtown, this sixty-year-old property recently underwent a $160 million top-to-bottom renovation."
Zagat3.8
"The “closest thing Downtown has to a Strip hotel”, this “classy Vegas original” in the "heart of the fun" on Fremont Street is a “well-cared-for and well-loved” property."
