To be honest, most of the time we actually left with more money than when we arrived or at least never lost that much. Previously, we were comped and yet only gambled about $5000 per day. I suspect that The Venetian has now changed its policy and started giving comps again to its 'average gamblers.' It has been several years (4-5 yrs) since we have been to Vegas and The Venetian is absolutely our favorite hotel.
