When The Venetian was built, its planners knew right away one element they could not do without: A replica of the Grand Canal in Venice. After all, without it, how would they replicate the gondola ride? It’s arguably the most iconic, romantic experience one can enjoy as part of a trip to Italy. So it would have been sacrilege to not replicate it in Las Vegas.
And very romantic it is! It’s still one of the most popular attractions in Las Vegas after more than 20 years. But it’s not just couples—entire families can also be seen enjoying a song (or two) from their gondolier as their boat floats down the man-made waterways, snapping photos aplenty. And this is one attraction you’ll want to experience more than once—there are both indoor and outdoor options available.
Here’s a “secret” tip: There’s a Gondolier March twice a day, at 9:50 a.m. and 4:20 p.m. Catch a team of gondoliers serenading the crowd along the indoor canal near the gondola turnaround. These performers have some impressive pipes!
