Hotel Venetian in Las Vegas used to be the old Sands resort. Now it’s like taking a trip to Venice without ever leaving America.
1- Check Out The Canal Shop Ceiling
Beautiful hand painted frescoes adorn the ceilings at hotel Venetian Las Vegas. In fact, they were all painted by Italian artists. Just make sure that you look ahead of you as you walk. Don’t just gawk at the ceiling walking around aimlessly.
2- Watch The Gondolas
Complete with a serenading gondolier. These authentic Venetian gondolas carry riders along the canals at the Venetian Hotel and Casino. Since there are indoor and outdoor canals that do not connect. It’s possible to ride each one separately.
3- Admire The Street Performers
During the weekends, you can also see street performers at the Venetian. Such as human statues, opera singers, carnival performers and costumed street performers.
4- Awe At The Acqua di Cristallo
Water runs down this beautiful cristal sculpture. As a result, it casts light reflections all over the lobby.
Fun Facts
- 2004 a drawing was rigged so that a high roller who lost a lot of money won a Mercedes-Benz
- 2013 paid government 47.4 million to settle money laundering charges
