Where else but Las Vegas will a couple go for a romantic night out, find a quiet, respectable, beautiful Italian restaurant, and then spend all their time playing video poker?

Ventano Italian Grill and Seafood has all the classics: great Italian cuisine, a low-lit, romantic atmosphere and a patio, a fantastic view of the Las Vegas Strip far down in the valley, and of course, gambling at the bar. It's just a side effect of living in Nevada, and locals take it for granted that they're going to be able to play eighteen different kinds of money-eating video games while downing free drinks. But visitors wanting an off-Strip food experience could do worse than enjoying Ventano's fabulous cuisine, all while playing on the ubiquitous gaming machines.
