Tour The Venetian
This year's ICFA Convention & Exposition travels to the luxurious Venetian Resort, Hotel and Casino, set in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. Opened in 1999, this is the $1.5 billion mega-resort that helped redefine the culture of Las Vegas as an upscale travel destination.
At The Venetian, you'll enjoy the romance and beauty of Italy. Characterized by elegance and old-world charm, The Venetian offers an escape from everyday life.
You'll love exploring the resort's expansive enclosed mall, the Grand Canal Shoppes, with more than 17 world-class restaurants and 80 shops, featuring cobbled walkways, a reproduction of Venice's Grand Canal and a replica of St. Mark's Square topped by an ever-blue "fresco sky." There is always something to do, whether strolling on the quaint Venetian Streets, snacking at an Italian café or enjoying a romantic gondola ride through the canals - an authentically Venetian experience!
With an average of 700 square feet, even the standard suites are approximately twice the size of the typical Las Vegas room. Every room in The Venetian is a spacious European-style suite, a luxurious haven where you can retreat after a long day attending convention sessions. Your living area sits on a slightly lower level than the sleeping area ... more like a luxury condo than a hotel room! You'll experience the conveniences of home, as well: All suites offer two televisions, a refreshment center, a large safe and a personal fax, copier and printer.
ROOM RATES:
Single Luxury Suites and Double Bella Suites -- $219 per night
Rialto, Piazza and Prima -- Please contact the hotel at 1.877.883.6423 for availability and pricing.

The Canyon Ranch SpaClub on the fourth floor - rated one of the best spas in the United States - and the resort's expansive pool deck allow you to indulge yourself with massages, spa treatments, hot tub sessions and fitness activities.
The Guggenheim Hermitage Museum is a spectacular venue offering an opportunity to view beautiful art in a conveniently located space. The museum is next to the hotel check in at The Venetian, which allows easy entrance and the ability to stroll through the museum at your leisure.
You can tour the museum on your own, or bring along a handful or large group of friends for a custom-guided tour led by one of the museum's docents. The Guggenheim Hermitage is also available for private receptions and dinners (except during ICFA Convention and Expo program hours) catered by The Venetian. If you would like to set up an event with colleagues or customers, please contact ICFA staff and we will direct you to our special events contact at the Guggenheim.
The featured exhibit during the ICFA Convention will be the work of Flemish baroque painter Peter Paul Rubens, b. June 28, 1577, d. May 30, 1640. Rubens was the most renowned northern European artist of his day, and is now widely recognized as one of the foremost painters in Western art history.
Designed by Pritzker Prize–winning architect Rem Koolhaas, the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum opened in 2001, inaugurating a partnership between the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in New York, the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. This unprecedented trilateral collaboration enables the Guggenheim Hermitage Museum to present a broad spectrum of exhibitions drawn from the three permanent collections.
Additional attractions housed on property include Madame Tussauds, an interactive wax museum; the high-energy Tao Nightclub; and the resort's newest show, the always-exciting Blue Man Group.
An international sensation that features three bald and blue characters, Blue Man Group combines music, comedy and multimedia theatrics to create a very funny, visually stunning and completely unique form of entertainment. In October 2005, Blue Man opened its most lavish production ever, in The Venetian's brand-new, 1760 seat Blue Man Theatre built especially for this spectacular show.
USA Today calls Blue Man Group "an absolutely ecstatic experience. The most inventive theatre to come along in ages." Join the celebration, and experience bluephoria for yourself!
Of course, The Venetian casino offers a full range of slots, race and sports book and table games, and the resort's prime location provides instant access to the Vegas Strip, entertainment mecca of the world.
