Masquerade Mask Studio in Venice. Are you an artist in your heart?
If you are looking to see Venice in a way that few tourists do (and if you are an artist in your heart), spend an afternoon at the Masquerade Mask Studio creating your own carnival mask. Besides learning about one of the most iconic traditions of Venice, you will have a chance to communicate with local artists. They are the key to discover true Venice! And it’s a unique chance to take home a cute piece of Venice - your own Venetian Masquerade mask.
The Venetian Masquerade (Carnival) has been a world-famous event since the 18th century. Mask making is an old tradition of Venice. During carnival Venetian Nobility (Patricians) wanted to hide their social status by wearing masquerade masks, because normally, for the nobility, interaction with the common people was limited and undesirable.

Verona in January. А one-day trip from Venice
Переглядів 272Місяць тому
Most tourists planning their stay in Venice completely ignore the charming medieval town of Verona. Verona is only 79 miles away from Venice. In January Verona is pleasantly quiet as the winter peak season is over. If you have an extra day in Venice, I highly recommend you to take a one-day trip to Verona. Watching my video, you will get answers to the 3 most frequently asked questions: What is...

I just wanted to say that I love this video so much. The formatting and how you describe them is amazing. I’ve only stayed at the palazzo once and it was very nice. I prefer the Wynn next door though. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I love Wynn too. Charming atmosphere, lovely Spa, and great service. After staying in Wellness Suite at The Venetian, now we have a dilemma: Tower King at Wynn or Wellness Prestige Club at The Venetian? 🙂🙂🙂
Two of my favorites are Le Stanze del Vetro on the Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, and the Museo della Musica, housed in the Chiesa San Maurizio.
Thank you for your comment. I have been thinking about making the second video about Venetian museums. It is impossible to "squeeze" all information into one video!
Did the complimentary happy hour include free alcoholic drinks?
Yes! As a member of the Prestige Club you will enjoy your complimentary alcoholic drinks during the happy hour! I do not recall the exact time of the happy hour. You may verify this information with the Prestige Club concierge at the time of check in. Our concierge was very helpful and friendly!
@@mygreedytravelblog I didn't realize that it is for members. I thought that anyone can book a room... At least on the website that I checked.
If you add Prestige Club Lounge fee to your reservation, you will be able to use both Lounges at The Venetian and Palazzo. I should have said "guest" instead of "member". As a Prestige Club Lounge guest, you will get VIP check-in and check-out, complimentary breakfast, hors d'oeuvre and happy hour.
Awesome, we will be innSD next week from NJ
Have fun! Are you planning to visit San Diego Zoo to see Cheetahs? These "kitties" are amazingly beautiful! Unfortunately, there are fewer than 7,000 (!!!!) cheetahs left in the wild.
My only point of reference to a hotel club lounge is the club lounge with the Hyatt Hotels. Though the idea of the Hyatt Club Lounge sounded great in theory, the reality was they make access too easy and they end up getting over crowded. Plus people bring their kids in and do a terrible job of supervising them. So when you said that the Venetian Prestige Lounge allowed kids, that wasn't exactly a selling point for me. It's not that I hate kids. It's that it would be nice to have areas where it's adults only. That said, what was your experience in this Lounge? Was it over crowded? Were there a lot of kids?
Our Prestige Club experience was great! However, I want to say once again that we (my husband and I) stayed at The Venetian during the Quietest Week (I mentioned about it in my video). During our stay there was hardly NOBODY at the Lounge (Spa and Bouchon restaurant). I was amazed to see how quiet LAS was during our visit. If you are planning to visit LAS during the High Season, your experience may be different. We chose The Venetian among the other hotels for: 1) Unique Hotel design (we love Venice, Italy). 2) Large suite (Wellness Suite). 3) Prestige Club (private check-in and breakfast is included). 4) Affordable price (Slow Week!). So, our Prestige Club experience was absolutely great. Loved it! My dear viewers, I do NOT work for the Venetian (or any other hotels) and I do not trying to “sell” them, I just want to share my travel experience with you (hoping you will get some useful information)! 🙂🙂🙂

Does the resort have transportation services to and from the port?
Not as I know. If you get to Cozumel from Playa del Carmen by the ferry (it arrives at San Miguel, the main town of Cozumel), you will find a taxi with no problem. It's a 5-7 minute ride from the ferry to Playa Azul. If you are a cruise liner tourist you will be much far away from Playa Azul (there are 2 ports for cruise liners in Cozumel). Usually cruise liner representatives take care of their guests proving them a taxi. Cozumel is a tiny island. From the port (for cruise liners) it will take you not longer than 15-20 minutes to get to Playa Azul by car (taxi). Does this info help you? Have fun in Cozumel!
What is the name of the snorkeling tour that picks you up at the pier at playa azul?
As I recall there is one company which works with Playa Azul. I don't have its name on me. I would contact Playa Azul directly for more info. Also, there is an email you may try to contact Laura ((: laura@kaykib.com
Her info is at the hotel's website: www.playa-azul.com
What time exactly of May do you recommend? Early/mid/late? I’m trying to avoid the mosquitoes lol I get horribly attacked.
We had our trip in the second half of the month and didn't have any problems with mosquitoes or bugs. Closer to the end of May we noticed the very first mosquitoes showed up.
Did you have any problems with mosquitoes during this time?
We came to Alaska in the middle of May and finished our trip 3 days prior to the Memorial weekend. We didn't have any problems with mosquitoes!
No but I do believe in crazy

Hello! I am trying to find the website to book a massage through this spa! Would you send me the info?
I think the best way to contact the Spa is to go to the hotel's website: www.playa-azul.com Click on "contact" and send them a request. I tried to use the direct e-mail to Savia Spa but it does not work.
Thank you so much
Enjoy your time at the Spa! If Ingrid is available, try to schedule your appointment with her (the hot stone massage was the best).
just stayed in the Executive Welness suite. really nice. only thing that i dont like is the TV in the living room is way too small. Come on Venetian, we need at least a 60 inch flat screen for a room like that.
Travelling with you in Venice, with this video, was a wonderful fairy tail! Your narrative is so relaxed and interesting! Thanks for sharing it with us! Looovely!
You are right, Venice IS a fairy tale! I visited it many times but it's never enough! Every trip I found something new to see and explore in Venice the Beautiful. I wish I had more time to finish all my videos about Venice.
We got married at Playa Azul back in 2017 and to this day many friends and family tell us it was the best vacation. Many folks have been back since. We will be back soon and can't wait!! We choose to fly into Cozumel, it's easy and the hotel is less than 10 minutes from the airport. Love the staff at Playa Azul (recently under new ownership) so we come back to see those folks as well! Check out Playa Azul, you won't be disappointed!
It's so nice to hear that you like Playa Azul as much as we do! I got an email from them rd new ownership couple weeks ago. I hope that Palay Azul will keep its individuality. It's a real gem.
Excellent video. We are heading to Alaska this may, and we cannot wait!
Have fun!
Do you have any good hotel recommendations? Thx 😊
We like hotel Casanova. Stayed there several times in January. Here is a link to my video "Hotel Casanova, Venice" ua-cam.com/video/PrxD042vDCE/v-deo.html
you've convinced me to go Venice in January!
🙂🙂🙂
Beatiful !!!
did the couch have pull out bed?
You will need to contact Hotel directly to request a pull out couch.
Good review. I have a reservation for a room + breakfast the first week of December. I'm looking forward to snorkeling right off the hotel beach, renting a car for some exploration of the island, eating at the restaurant and other local options, and just relaxing for a few days! I will be arriving by ferry, and I assume I can take a cab from there to the hotel? For a reasonable price, I hope. Let me know if you have any pro tips for transportation to and from the ferry.
You will find a taxi at the ferry with no problem. As I recall we paid $7-8 for the ride from San Miguel to Playa Azul (and from Playa Azul to the city center/ferry). I don't think there is another way to get to the Hotel from the ferry. It was easy to rent a car from Playa Azul. Please keep in mind that the first week of December is the beginning of the high season, and it may be busier than during our May trip (low season). It may be harder to find parking in the city center of San Miguel if you decade to dine out or shop there. Taxi would be the best option. If you want to drive around the island, rent a car! The tours are rather expensive (in my opinion). It's safe and easy to drive in Cozumel (there is one main road going around the island). Have fun in Cozumel! it's a lovely island. Don't miss Cozumel's historical part of San Gervasio!
@@mygreedytravelblog thanks! My trip starts Saturday. Very helpful comment I appreciate it!
Enjoy your trip to Cozumel!
How much is the car rental?
Just found your channel. Love it! Have stayed in another hotel but not these yet! Going to check it out!
Welcome aboard!
I watched your video about Maui. I love Maui! We visited it many times and I feel so sad about all the people.
@@mygreedytravelblog talk about a happy place turning sad. Bet lots of people feeling that way about Acapulco now too
The story as to how this zoo began is also amazing!
I agree! It's a great place. People with big hearts work there helping our "little brothers" and educating us - the visitors.
Awesome!
I am glad you liked it! I adore this elegant Palazzo. Every time we come to Venice, Ca'D'Oro Palazzo is on the top of my list. The museum's art collection is lovely but it's not allowed to make videos or pictures there.
Very beautiful city!

Yup He had FUN 😊

Great
It is a lovely hotel
Quisiera ir a las vegas
Hi - thanks for the vid! Can you give an appraisal of the overall condition of the hotel? The last time we were there - Pre-Covid and when the Adelstein’s still owned the property - the hallways and common areas looked very, very worn and shabby. While we love Venetian - we’re reluctant to pay for Prestige service & room if the place is in disrepair or showing it’s age with banged up furniture and 23 year old drapes and decor. Will greatly appreciate your response! 💕10/2023, btw…..
Hi! It was February 2023 when we stayed at the Venetian last time. I didn’t see anything wrong with the hotel. As I mentioned in my video, we stayed at the Venetian during the quietest time prior to the Super Ball game. It looked like that the hotel’s team had enough time to clean and fix everything before the event (: I was pleasantly surprised by our Wellness Suite and the Prestige Club customer service. If you are planning to purchase the Prestige Club option, you will be fine. Based on the reviews, it looks like that the "hot deal's rooms" (the most inexpensive rooms) make tourists unsatisfied with service and cleanliness. Here is the link for Wellness Suite (at 2:05). It may help you to see how the Wellness Suite looked in February 2023: ua-cam.com/video/xvj7-d9M6RI/v-deo.html Enjoy Las Vegas!
@@mygreedytravelblog …..Thanks for the wonderful response - we definitely will be booking the Venetian with Prestige service for our pre-Christmas stay!! Glad you were so pleased with the hotel during your visit!💕
Win a million! One more travel tip. Do not hesitate to call Prestige Club concierge with any questions (if you have any) prior to arrival. I found it very helpful. I had a special request and my request was taken very seriously, I was impressed.
Great list! I enjoyed your video and loved your voice.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice! Unfortunately when we rent any hotel room that has a kitchen attached to it my husband expects me to cook! Not happening!!! I am quite happy to visit the fine and also the fast food restaurants in Las Vegas and not be bothered with pots pans dishes shopping and smelly food trash in the room. Thanks for your walk-through… This is a lovely place!💕
I like Tableau Restaurant (Wynn) and Bouchon at the Venetian. What restaurant is your favorite in Las Vegas? Just out of curiosity... I trust people's opinion more than restaurants' reviews and promotions (:

We visited Alaska (Denali and Kenai Peninsula) from the middle of May to the end of May. It was very nice and quiet. We finished our trip 3 days prior to the Memorial weekend ((:
