Day One (cont.) - Finding Food at Enoteca
This place was perfect after a day of debauchery at Tao Beach. The only downside is finding this place. The Venetian is designed all funky, so the buildings aren't in your standard square blocks. They could be around nooks and crannies. I m glad we finally found Entoeca, because its exactly the carbs we needed to fill up on.
I came across this place via http://Restaurants.com's 80% coupon discount and thought it would be a decent spot to check out. We got here around 4pm, which was the perfect time to find a seat being that its neither lunch or dinner. The server was very friendly, and she even took her sweet time explaining the menu items. It was written in Italian and hard to figure out. So we ended up ordering a Monte Cresto, a full sized Margaretta Pizza, Risotto and a dish of spaghetti. Believe it or not, we did not have any left overs.
Enoteca isn't your typical Italian restaurant, it features food from the Mediterranean. So from what I can tell it did have a unique taste in all their ingredients. I love the atmosphere of sitting out in the courtyard areas of the Venetian. It made me feel like we were actually on the streets of Italy... but not really. The food here was good, and I definitely recommend it. For Vegas, its definitely considered a good price even if you do not have a coupon. I recommend the Enoteca.

Day One (cont.) - Our Room at the Signatures

View of the Signatures walking out of Wet Republic
I now officially have a new favorite hotel. Can you guys believe that this place actually put the Wynn to shame? I think so. I simply wish I can buy one of these high rise condos. I m very excited to compare them to the Vdara's when they are raised.
Driving to this hotel was a breeze. There is no need to find parking, because it is strictly valet only. At first I was a bit skeptical about tipping someone to get my car out everytime, but then I thought it was completely worth it and I wasn't tipping these guys enough. Valets are super friendly, fast and not to mention hand you a bottle of water while you wait. I saved so much $ just in buying water by taking my car out.
Checking into the hotel wasn't too bad either. Since there are 3 towers, no casino crowd, they don't need those super long conveyor belt lines up in here. You just walk to up which ever counter thats open. I didn't want to try any sandwiching tricks, I just want to get the full natural experience. Just put me in a room. And boy did I get a room! Either ways when I first walked into this room. There was no word to really describe it. I just made a video about it:

The best part of this room was simply it puts you a certain mood. Infact the entire hotel does with its theme music playing in each tower. The amenities I found myself using the most in the room was probably the kitchen. We always had left overs when we dined out, so found ourselves using the microwave and fridge a lot. They even refill your coffee and water supply each morning.
We stayed in Tower 3 which was farthest away from Wet Republic, but has the most modern theme. Tower 2 features Deli. We spent $24 of resort credits in a gourmet breakfast. Trust me, those eggs were worth it. Tower 1 features a Starbucks. The towers all connected all the way to MGM and the outside walkways lead you to the MGM pool and Wet Republic.
This was the best stay in Vegas..... ever. Did I mention there are jetted tubs that help you recover from a hard day of partying? I pretty much took advantage of everything this place to offer. I m looking forward to coming back and staying here again and again. It is worth every penny to spoil yourself at the Signatures.
Heres another look from my cell phone's panoramic mode (sorry I eff'd the pic up a bit)

Theres 3 different setups for rooms, one is JR bedroom suite which is the one I got, and then there are 1 bed room and 2 bed room suites which have seperate rooms and living area. All of them come with the kitchen and bathroom you see in the vid. At the top of the towers are the penthouse floors.Originally posted by Keebler View PostEnoteca is awesome.

I m kind of waiting for the Vdara to finish, that way the Signatures will have some competition and the prices will go down even further.Originally posted by nyc2vegas View Postim saying to buy, you can get a jr suite for 100-125K or a 1br for around 150K, im waiting for it to hit rock bottom and im seriously considering diving in for one
