The Venetian Casino, Hotel & Resort

The Venetian was built on the grounds of the old Sands Hotel where Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Sammy Davis, Jr. - known as the “Rat Pack” - held court nightly; singing, dancing, drinking, and joking to packed houses.



The Venetian Casino, Hotel, & Resort cost one and one-half billion dollars to build
and looks identical to Venice, Italy
with its replica of Piazza San Marco (St. Marks Square)




With its canals




Its atmospheric outdoor dining
and
Marble authentic marble columns





In addition, a painted fresco of
Michelangelo's Last Supper
Although it looks like the buffet at
 Caesars Palace 





The Venetian
Worth the effort to stroll inside and enjoy
The beauty of the Venice of America

Luigi Garrabaldi closed his deli at noon and went to church in his little town of Vasto, Italy. He sat next to Mrs. Cuccina.

“No, Mrs. C. I closed at noon so I could come to mass.”
“Ah, escuse me, Mr G, but your deli is open,” she said more emphatically.
“No, Mrs. C. I told you we closed at noon,” he said in frustration and he got up and walked out in a huff.
As he was leaving the church, he looked down and saw his zipper was down.
He felt bad and returned to the pew and sat next to Mrs. G. He sheepishly leaned over and asker her, “Excuse me, Mrs. G., but when my deli was open, was my salesman in or out?”
