Three years after announcing a $1.5 billion reinvention The initial phases of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas have been completed. Patrick Nichols – the resort’s President and CEO – says: “We are very proud of having delivered on this promise.” Travel + Leisure.

Michael Gruber’s Chief Content Officer, Michael Gruber, came up with Voltaire, an innovative nightlife venue. Voltaire, which has hosted Kylie Minogue’s, Christina Aguilera’s, and Jason Derulo’s sold-out concerts, is now hosting a limited run for Dita Von Tease’s burlesque.
Nomikai is a sushi restaurant with a hidden speakeasy. The rollout of the culinary offerings continued with an outpost for Los Angeles’ favorite farmers’ market to table, Gjelina. The most anticipated additions will be coming soon. Soon, the property will welcome a trio of standout openings: COTE, the first (and only) Michelin-starred Korean steakhouse in the U.S.; the Las Vegas migration of José Andrés’ avant-garde Bazaar Meat from Sahara Las Vegas; and a new food hall called Via Via. Nichols says that all three restaurants will be ready by the end the year.
Via Via is a carefully curated collection of the most popular concepts across America. Think of an outpost from Florence’s legendary sandwich store All’Antico Vinaio. Nashville’s Howlin’ Ray’s and New York’s Scarr’s Pizza. On the list is also a revival from chef Ray Garcia’s Los Angeles B.S. Taqueria, Tokyo-and-NYC favorite Ivan Ramen, and two hits from New Orleans chef Mason Hereford: the breakfast haunt Molly’s Rise & Shine and the all-day counter-service gem Turkey and the Wolf. There is even a cocktail bar called Close Company from the team behind L.A.’s Death & Co.
The Venetian’s upper floors have some of the most opulent and luxurious suites in the entire city. The Signature Suites Collection includes penthouses and presidential suites. Chairman suites are the crown jewel of this collection. They have all been completely reimagined with top-notch amenities such as Tonal Gyms, Steam Baths and Saunas.

Nichols: “We stripped down all the walls to the studs.” “The goal was to bring in smart technology and create spaces that feel truly residential—comfortable, luxurious, and designed for how people actually live and entertain.” Meyer Davis, a NYC-based design firm, and Richmond International of London came up with four distinct designs. All marry Italian sensibilities with Vegas whimsy, featuring Venetian plaster, Murano glass–inspired lighting, and custom Italian-crafted furnishings. Butler service, Japanese toilets and Dyson Hairdryers are included.
In the penthouse suites, plush Italian fabrics, corner-framed Venetian photography, and Scarpa flooring–inspired carpets set a refined tone. The Presidential Suites feature a hand-crafted resin bar, Moroso leather chairs, ripple-detailed tables and custom-colored Pianos. The five chairman suites showcase exquisite Officina Luce chandeliers, embroidered leather dining chairs, and a woven Murano glass–inspired bar backdrop that practically begs for a negroni moment.
Some suites have unexpected elements such as karaoke, poker, or private bars. These feel like secret speakeasies, members-only clubs, or even hidden clubs. Nichols says that there is a suite to suit every type of traveler. We have a suite for everyone, whether you’re looking for something fun and energetic, or elegant and timeless.
The refresh also brings a new naming structure to the resort’s towers: The Venetian now refers to the North and South Towers—the former being the original 1999 tower, and the latter opening in 2003. Nichols revealed exclusively to T+L It is not widely known that the South Tower’s unfinished penthouse area, formerly a “gray skeleton”, has been quietly renovated. These 78 suites are scheduled to open in the summer and will have two to four bedrooms. Unlike the Signature Suites which are only available to The Venetian’s most prestigious casino customers, the public will be able to book them. Nichols states that “they’ll be the largest suites available in Las Vegas.”
The upgrades don’t stop there. Nichols says, “We are working on exciting things next at The Palazzo,” though the details for now remain under wraps.
