Best for travelers who want immediate access to the Las Vegas Strip, a large casino floor, and a wide range of restaurants and nightlife.

Best for travelers seeking a more relaxed, spacious resort setting with an on-site spa and proximity to Angel Park Golf Club.
When The Venetian wins: choose The Venetian if you want to be in the middle of the Strip action, stay in large suites with immediate access to dozens of restaurants and nightlife, and value a very large casino and convention footprint.
When the JW Marriott wins: choose the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa if you prefer an off-Strip, lower-key resort with a full-service spa, golf nearby, a quieter pool atmosphere, and larger grounds.
Bottom line: The Venetian is the choice for classic Strip energy, dining variety, and casino-focused stays; the JW Marriott is the choice for a calmer, spa-and-golf–oriented base in Summerlin.
