The trip to the Dolomites from Venice is about 2 3/4 hours. Thats 5 1/2 to 6 hour round trip. I don't think you could do the Dolomites justice on a day trip from Venice. Once there, the going on the secondary roads is slow at best.
If I were spending the high dollars to spend overnites in Venice, I wouldn't waste them by not staying in Venice.
Spend one less night in Venice-save money-and then visit the Dolomites and give it justice.

The web site I mentioned above and the Dolomite day excursion confirms the fact that you will NOT be spending 5/6 hours travelling to and from Venice.There is alot of time alotted for sightseeing and time for visiting the Italian Alps.You are back to Venice by 6:15pm.

Your best options are San Martino di Castrozza (some of the most stunning scenery in the Dolomites) or Cortina.
Having driven it last year, Jim's driving time estimate to Cortina is nearer than Michelin's.
Let me know if I can be of more help ...

Last year we drove from Verona to Cortina and then from Cortina to Venice. The trip from Verona to Cortina was spectacular (the Dolomite Road) but I don't remember the drive to Venice being as breathtaking, really. I would say it took about an hour and a half to drive to a train station outside of Venice. Then we took the train in (15 minutes). Of course, once you are there, the dolomites are quite beautiful.
If you change your mind and decide to spend one night, I highly recommend Hotel Menardi in Cortina. It was a wonderful inn, great food, great atmosphere, good views, nice helpful staff.
