Settle into an accessible room, store luggage if early, use elevators and the hotel's seating areas to rest after travel.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a ground-floor or elevator-adjacent room when you check in to minimize hallway distance.
- If arrival is before standard check-in, request luggage hold and a guaranteed quiet seating area in the lobby.

Short rest & coffee in the Venetian (lobby or café)
A calm 30-minute break to transition from travel, use restrooms, and orient to the day with shaded indoor seating.
Tips from local experts:
- Choose a café table near the elevator bank for minimal walking back to your room afterward.

- Locate the nearest accessible restroom and water fountain for the rest of the day's outings.
Short taxi transfer to Bellagio Conservatory
A brief (about 15 minutes) taxi or rideshare to Bellagio — short door-to-door transfer reduces walking.
Tips from local experts:
