Best for travelers who want classic Venetian-style, all-suite accommodations with a central Strip location and a very large spa/fitness complex.

Best for guests after a newly opened, large-scale north‑Strip resort with many pools, extensive conference space, and a broad restaurant roster.
When The Venetian wins: choose The Venetian if you want an all-suite property with long-established Strip location, immediate access to the Grand Canal Shoppes and gondola rides, a huge Canyon Ranch Spa + Fitness, and a very broad set of restaurants and nightlife.
When Fontainebleau wins: pick Fontainebleau if you prefer a newer, large north‑Strip resort with many outdoor pools (6), vast meeting/expo capacity and a modern design language, or if pool variety and on-site meeting space are priorities.
Bottom line: both are large luxury casino resorts; The Venetian leans on established Italian‑style opulence, all‑suite lodging, and a massive, famous spa, while Fontainebleau offers newer scale on the north Strip with more on‑site pools and extensive conference facilities.
