Screen is there to make it look like Venice obv.
Also, i imagine there is building work going on behind to expand the hotel and this screen covers the building work innit
The facade at the Venetian is there as work continues on the development of the new train line, that will run around the perimeter of hotel at (sky) height. and rumour has it the name will be Kendall-sky train.
The canvas is there for those who like to take photos/pictures of the Vegas sky line*
This enables the buildings to also keep up with the Joneses.
*i think the common term used for these kind of people is called....tikayists.
I believe the Venetian management have decided that as the only poker player above 120 years old Mr Tony Kendall is being honoured in statue form which is currently being erected behind the giant screen.
The problem with this is the builders work the equivelant amount of time Tikay spends actually playing a hand in a tourney, so they work approximately 45 seconds a day..... Will it ever be completed ???
With regards to the Venetian, I think they're planning a surprise unveiling of a 4 storey high statue of Tikay in celebration of all the 'donations' he's made this year ;-)
Its there to fool the pigeons from landing on the ledge and using it as a toilet ;0) they smack straight down the canvas to the pigeon disposal man waiting below ;0)

as if you didn't know tikay, honestly!
Loving the blogs Tikay and I hope you're feeling friskier today.
I emailed the manager at the Venetian and asked "Why the false floors?"
He came back with this:
"Dear Prop
Yeah. $1.5bn and we still couldn't finish it! Budget overruns are seemingly a prennial problem with Mafia building firms.
After they left us in the lurch we got a bunch of Polish builders in. Dead cheap and they work like, er, Poles. The only problem was something got lost in translation and they ended up extending the wrong half of the hotel. That'll teach me to take a holiday. So we put some tarps up to hide the whole nightmare while we swapped it over.
Money was getting short so we sent Sanjay from the IT department down to the Merc raffle. The idea was that he could sell the car for cash and we could finish the job. Worked like a charm until Sanjay decided he was keeping the damn car. Now the Gaming Commission fine has done the rest of our cash so the tarps stay up. In desperation I was even putting $10 a day into our Jackpot slot machine til someone from Finance explained the maths. Doh!
Our last chance of getting the moolah together to sort it out was the stake we bought in some limey poker player called Tikker (or something like that). Rupert at Fox said he was the best they had but he's hopeless, so we've taken an insurance policy out on the guy and poisoned him. We gave him enough junk to fell an elephant but he must have an iron constitution as all that's happened is he's going around saying he's "A little under the weather".
Mind you, with all the cr*p the guy eats we may not have to wait too long before nature takes its course.
Thank you for taking such an interest in The Venetian. And please don't tell anyone about all this. I'm soooo embarrassed!
Have a nice day.
Anthony (Fat Tony) Corleone.
General Manager"
Just goes to show how life can be stranger than fiction, eh?
Get well soon and be lucky.

Behind those canvasses is the wedding chapel Yorkie74 has demanded!!
(Scared of the bill!)

Plus of course it is to hide Area 51 its not actually in a desert its at the top of the Venetian LOL jokes.
But mainly its to make it look better and to make it more like Venice

Only read a cpl so far but you should be ashamed - 2 penaltys in 1st day - Who,d have thought it? It sounds like they,re keeping an eye on you - looking forward to reading the rest of blogs
"The geezer, a short stocky sort, looked very Scottish looking, if you get my drift, maybe remembered me from last year, when he gave me a one Level penalty when I was messing with some mates"
Or it could be that the itallians refused to sell the real one! :P
