The casino in Venice is housed in the palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi on the Grand Canal. The Palazzo also contains the Wagner Museum as the composer spent the last winter of his life living here.
House of Paolo Veronese
Veronese lived in Venice from 1553 until his death in 1588. This is apparently the house where he lived.

Scala Contarini del Bovolo
www.scalacontarinidelbovolo.com
Hidden in a small courtyard at the end of a narrow street behind Campo Manin, this amazing spiral staircase is a must-see.
It is one of the best examples of Venetian architecture of this period - between gothic and renaissance. At the top of the staircase you can admire the view of rooftops, bell towers and the domes of Saint Mark's.
After a long restoration it is open to the public again from the end of January 2016. Tickets are available from the website.
