    The Venetian is another luxurious hotel along Las Vegas Boulevard. Here, you can admire wonderful old world European architecture as colourful gondoliers guide tourists along canals of unnaturally blue water. You can venture inside to the shopping arcade where the a/c will keep you cool but you will still feel like you're outdoors under the ceilings of painted clouds. Grab a seat in St. Marks square and wait for the next free performance of Italian Opera singers or living statues. It's a great place to relax and cool off when the temperature is soaring outside!

  • Venetian Canal Gondola Ride - Las Vegas
    Venetian Canal Gondola Ride
    by emilienoelle
    Send Photo to a Friend
    If you come all the way to Las Vegas you have to come to the Venetian. It's gorgeous for one thing, and for another it's the only hotel, or building for that matter, that has an indoor/outdoor canal. You can take a gondola ride in the canal (if you don't mind becoming the center of attention for 100's of people) or you can just watch other people taking thier rides. Either way, you get to enjoy the gondoleer singing love songs in Italian at the top of his/her lungs. The ceiling inside of the Venetian is painted to mimic the sky with clouds, etc. and every 15 minutes or so the "sky" turns from daytime to nightime just like that! It's cool to see. The Venetian has a sort of Medieval Renaissance theme to it and throughout the hotel you will find actors dressed in Renaissance garb performing various tricks faithfull to the time period. Though I have to say that the guys in the Venetian carnival masks were sort of creepy looking. The shopping here in their Grand Canal Shops is also great, even if no one can afford to buy anything. It's great to look. I fell in love with a handbag shaped like an eggplant and covered with jewels--don't ask. Also, the Venetian is the home of Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum as well as The Guggenheim Las Vegas, though we did not have a chance to visit either.

    Inside Of The Venetian Hotel You Will Find St Marks Square (Piazza San Marco) Which Is An Almost Exact Scaled Replica Of The Real One In Venice,Italy. As You Stand In The Middle Of The Square You Will See Such Famous Sights As The Clock Tower, The Campanile (Bell Tower) And The Library Building To Name But A Few All Recreated In The Image Of The Originals. The Square Is Approximately 170 Yards Long And 80 Yards Wide And Above You Will See An Always Blue Sky With A Few White Clouds Which Was Modeled On The Early Evening Sky In Venice Except Of Course It Never Rains Here. The Canal Runs Through The Square And Under A Small Bridge Where You Can Watch The Gondola's Gliding By And Maybe Even Hear The Gondilier Singing To His Passenger(s). Starting At 11.30am Daily Untill 8.30pm You Will See Wondering Around The Square Various Artists Such As Actors And Classical Trained Singers Entertaining The Visitors As Well As Statues Or What You Thought Were Statues Suddenly Come To Life And Perform. At 9.45am And 4.15pm Each Day There Is A Gondilier March That Takes Place Between The Food Court And St Marks Square. Also In The Square You Will Find Benches To Sit Relax And Enjoy The Views Or You Can Eat And Drink At One Of The Eateries Or Do Some Shopping At One Of The Stalls And Of Course There Are Great Photo Opportunities To Be Had In This Little Piece Of Italy Which Might Be As Close To The Real Venice That You Ever Get. Definitely Something Not To Be Missed And If Your With Someone Else Preferably A Wife Or A Girlfriend Then The Half A Mile Gondola Ride Is A Must And Very Romantic I'm Sure.

    The Venetian, like The Bellagio, is one of those must-see hotels, just to drink in the beautiful architecture and the overall atmosphere of elegance. On our return visit (2006) we noticed even the air is perfumed as you enter the hotel! You are taken back in time to the artistic, architectural and commercial centre of the 16th century. They spare no expense with detail, as even the washrooms in the lobby are done up in grand style. The grounds are modelled after, well, as the name says, Venice, complete with canals with gondeliers and their boats. Great concept, but I just don't see the attraction of sitting in a boat while people are staring at you as you go past. However, it really is something else. It also has a branch of the Guggenheim inside as well.

    The Venetian is amazing, these people have gone to a great effort to reproduce many of the landmarks of Venice in a truely realistic way. Okay you know you're in Las Vegas, but it really is impressive. While I thought the Bellagio was the most opulent of the hotels in Vegas, I certainly thought the Venetian was the most interesting. My favourite thing about the Venetian was the ceilings inside make it look like day time and they can bring the lights down to represent evening. The clouds also look like they are moving when you walk down the streets inside - great illusions!

    In a Vegas Gondola

    I know it sounds cliched, but I simply couldn't resist taking a gondola ride at the magical Venetian hotel. There are two options available - the gondola trip in the lake outside the hotel, or another on the second floor. I opted for the first and as I didn't see the second I cannot comment other than to say I know it's slightly more expensive. My choice had nothing to do with cost, but we had a dinner reservation in Bouchon at 8pm and the outside one was beside us. At 12.50 dollars per person it was delightful and very well worth it. Our gondolier sang two Italian songs to us and we travelled the little lake, under the ornamental bridges, as the sun set over the City. Photographs in a presentation wallet cost an additional 20 for one or 25 for two. The queues were short and it was a great deal of fun. Thje price I paid was for a shared gondola with two other people, but if you want to be romantic you can of course hire the gondola for two.

    Of all the hotels I visited in Las Vegas The Venetian was the one that impressed me the most. The hotel is amazing! I wish I had stayed here. When you walk through it , you really feel like being in Venice. The cafes, the ambiance, the sky, everything has an italian feel. They even have the water channels, with gondolas and the gondoliers singing " Oh sole mio". The Venetian has also some of the best shopping I found in Las Vegas. You can find there Burberry, Banana Republic, Kenneth Cole, Agatha, Dooney and Bourke, Sephora, among many other fine stores. You will not starve here also. Plenty of restaurants and cafes for good dinning or just sit and have a coffee or cappucino while you watch people walking by.

    Never been to Venice? Never been to Italy? Well the Venetian has come as close as possible as duplicating it. One of the most breath taking casinos in Vegas, and on my top 3 list for casinos. Its a must see. Over a billion dollars was put into this casino and it shows. The art work throughout the hotel looks like the real things, partly becuase the owner flew in artist from all over the world to hand paint everything. The shops are nice to look at, but unless u have a platinum credit card, just stick to window shopping. The rooms are amazing, but pricey. I have stayed in them but i recommend saving your money and staying somewhere else. The pools are cool, probably in the top 5 for vegas pools.The casino is ok, but if u want to win, this is not the casino to play in. Especially if u have luck like me.I have ate in about every resturaunt in the place and all were great, but i am a more of a buffet kind of guy. Save a couple hours for this hotel cause u will need it... *Please feel free to rate this tip or any of my other tips. I am always looking to make improvements. Thank you...

    This is a MUST SEE in Las Vegas,the Venetian Grand Hotel brings the spirit of Venice into the city of Las Vegas.Is one of most beautiful hotels that I've seen.A very detailed fresco covers the arched ceilings and it looks like a real venetian sky.Enjoy a drink or a Cappuchino at Piazaa San Marco and have a good picture here,another interesting option may be take a ride in a Venetian Gondola,in the Grand Canal,it cost about $35 for a 20 minutes ride. Here also you'll find a lot of good restaurants,snack bars,a shopping area called Grand Canal Shoppes and also a Wax Museum,so this is a hotel not to be missed!!. In the picture you can see to a just married couple in a Gondola.

    I Did Say I Would Only Comment On Things I Had Done Myself But I Make An Exception On This One Because Its Something A Lot Of People Would Like To Do,Although I Think Its One Of The Few Things In Vegas That Is Best Done With Someone With You, Like A Partner Or Spouse And Then I'm Sure Its Very Romantic. Anyway The Gondola Ride Can Be Found At The Venetian Hotel And Is Very Popular,So You Will Need To Make A Reservation Which Can Only Be Done On A Daily Basis. The Boat Ride Around The Canal's At The Venetian Hotel Lasts Approximately 9 Minutes And Costs $15 (8.50 Pounds) For Adults And $7.50 (4.25 Pounds) For Children Aged 12 And Under For The Indoor Ride And For The Outdoor Ride Its $12.50 (7.00 Pounds) For Adults And $5 (3.00 Pounds) For Children 12 And Under. Both Rides Operate Daily From 10.00am To 11.00pm Sun-Thurs And 10.00am To Midnight Fri And Sat Although The Outdoor Ride Can Be Cancelled If The Weather Gets To Bad. During The Half A Mile Ride Your Gondolier Will Answer Any Questions You May Have And If You Ask Nicely He/She Will Even Sing To You,If Your Lucky. Even If You Don't Take A Ride You Cant Help But See Them If You Visit The Wonderful Venetian Hotel, Which Everyone Who Visits Vegas Surely Does.
