Marnie got the Red Rock recommendation from me at least a week ago so I
think she might get over there

Sorry, I didn't see this question until now. I hope it is not too late.
While I like Venetian and went there many times, I didn't find it
that interesting to photograph.
Here is what I'd recommend:
1. Within Vegas, I would recommend going to the "Secret Garden &
Dolphin
Habitat" in Mirage.
2. Street views of and from Belagio - in the evening when the musical
fountain in front of it is playing. (Every hour? or half-an-hour? check
the hotel's website for the schedule/)
3. Also, inside Belagio, there is a nice area that is called
"Conservatory and Botanical Gardens":

Their holiday display there is only until January 5, but even beyond
that, you might catch some nice photos.
4. I second Ken's suggestion for Red Rock Park.
I don't have my photos posted, but my wife has a bunch from almost
exactly a year ago:

Subject: Las Vegas Photo Spots?
Anyone been to Las Vegas in recent memory? Know any good photo
spots,
in town, or out?
Going with a friend in about a week (big electronic show), and
haven't
been there since I was about 15. I am not a gambler. I will visit
the
show for
a while, but it's not really my thing.
Googling I have found: Valley of Fire (red rock formations, 1 hour
north), Goodsprings (ghost town, 30 minutes south), and in Las Vegas
itself: a
mock Venetian street with water and gondolas, a mock Eiffel tower, a
mock
Sphinx, and a neon sign boneyard (junk yard of old Las Vegas signs).
Sometimes people on this list know where to shoot. Anything I've
missed?
Or shouldn't miss?
Thanks in advance, Marnie aka Doe :-) Probably no one on this list
has
been there at all recently.
I think by now it's clear you should go to Red Rock Park. Whether you walk it
or drive it, it's very nice and accessible.
Another place I'd encourage you to visit, though not for photography, is the
National Atomic Testing Museum, also a few minutes drive from the Strip. They
have a huge exhibit chronicling the history of that endearing desire humans
have to blow shit up with atomic bombs. Lots of stuff on display, much of which
you can touch, and excellent photographs and audio- visual displays. Don't miss
the simulated bomb test from a recreated bunker; it made me shudder.
The museum is a Smithsonian affiliate, and even though I work for the SI, I
don't get a commission if you visit it :-)
Lastly, make sure to grab a burger and fries at one of the many In n' Out
joints in the area. Take a detour if need be. Seriously.
Cheers,
—M.
