Ride the Canal at The Venetian in Las Vegas

Step onto the iconic Las Vegas Strip, and you will be surrounded by not just impressive casinos to game the night away but also architectural marvels. It’s not enough to have a newly renovated building with all the deluxe amenities. The top Vegas Casinos show their showmanship and love for the arts with custom features and attractions. One such attraction that draws tourists and visitors worldwide is a taste of Venice at The Venetian.

The Design and Outdoor Canals Brings Venice to You

There’s no doubt that the inspiration and the architecture is inspired by the legendary and romantic city of Venice, Italy. Besides the iconic canals, the entire Venetian Resort in Las Vegas brings all the top features of Venice directly to the Vegas Strip.

Ride the Grand Canal

The star attraction of The Venetian Resort is riding the Grand Canal. The Venetian Resort spares no expense in having an authentic Venetian Canal where you and your partner can take a 15-minute slow ride.

To cap off the experience, The Grand Canal even has authentic gondolas that steer the boat, just like in Venice, and even serenade you with Italian love songs. You can pay to have photos to maintain everlasting memories.

Fall in Love on the Rialto Bridge

Whether before or after riding the Grand Canal, prepare to fall in love with the Rialto Bridge. No need to visit Venice to walk over the authentic one because the Venetian recreates a mini version of it inside the Venetian itself. The architecture and the arcs even closely resemble the real-life bridge that dates back to the 16th century.

To complete the authentic experience, The Venetian actually imported all the cobblestones directly from Italy, so you feel a 100% authentic experience. You can admire the rides going in and out of the Grand Canal on the bridge. You can also step into one of the numerous shops or even take a photo for an everlasting memory.

Take a Stroll Through Piazza San Marco

Go through the heart of Venice directly at the Venetian with a replication of Piazza San Marco. Walk on the same cobblestones as the real-life St. Mark’s Square as you take in the Campanile Tower. The Campanile Tower at the Venetian Tower is the carefully built replication of the real-life bell tower in Venice with all the world-famous arches and elegant facades.

Surrounding with every step are world-class restaurants easily within walking distance, including authentic Italian cuisine. Don’t forget to look up at the painted ceiling at the amazing painting of a blue sky that resembles those in a duomo.

Admire The Palazzo Tower

After you finish admiring the authentic gothic architecture from the real-life Venice, Italy, it’s time to retire in style at the Palazzo Tower. You guessed it. The entire Palazzo Tower is designed like medieval Venetian luxury hotels and resorts. Beyond the amazing architecture, each room is well over 700 square feet of pure luxury, making them easily the biggest among the largest casinos in America.
