Las Vegas (Oct. 6, 2026) -The Venetian Resort Las Vegas was recognized today as the #1 Hotel in Las Vegas by Condé Nast Traveler as part of its annual Readers' Choice Awards. The Palazzo was also recognized as the #2 Hotel in Las Vegas.

After more than 798,867 survey responses from readers across the United States rating their travel experiences around the globe, The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and The Palazzo ranked as the #1 and #2 hotels in Las Vegas - one of the most competitive hospitality landscapes in the U.S. The Readers' Choice Awards, with its unparalleled legacy as the travel industry's longest-running and most prestigious accolades from readers, remains the ultimate symbol and acknowledgment of excellence within the travel sector.

"Earning the #1 and #2 spots in Las Vegas is an incredible milestone and a direct reflection of our team's relentless dedication to the guest experience," said Patrick Nichols, president and chief executive officer of The Venetian Resort Las Vegas. "As our $1.5 billion reinvestment comes to life across the entire property, this honor validates our vision to redefine luxury on the Strip. Between our reimagined suite collection, celebrated culinary concepts, and premier entertainment, we remain focused on delivering experiences unlike anything else in Las Vegas."

The historic, resort-wide transformation begins with fully redesigned suites at The Venetian and an unparalleled culinary portfolio featuring celebrated dining destinations like Bazaar Meat by José Andrés and the Michelin-starred COTE Korean Steakhouse, contributing to the most Michelin-recommended dining experiences under one roof in Las Vegas. The monumental reinvestment also introduces elevated gaming amenities, including the all-new high-limit lounge on The Venetian casino floor, alongside a premier lineup of world-class entertainment, including experiences created to enhance the fan experience for headliners at Sphere at The Venetian. Tailored for elite executive travelers, the highly anticipated Lusso Lounge will soon debut as the Strip's premier executive retreat, while Milano offers an ultra-exclusive suite experience at The Palazzo. This definitive reimagination ensures The Venetian Resort remains the pinnacle of Las Vegas luxury.
