Helpful. Thanks.

a place is any where that has anything it could be a park, a random building etc. A venue is usually used for places that have things going on i.e a concert or a basketball game. a spot is like a place it can be any where but it can be smaller than a "place" a place is usually used when talking about something decent sized a spot can be a random part of the sidewalk or a park bench. spot and place are more common and interchangeable while venue is for events most of the time
