Outside this hotel are all the sights of Venice crammed into the frontage along the strip. You’ll find the Rialto Bridge, the Camponile and the Doge’s Palace, along with mini canals and gondolas. Inside the hotel, the shopping centre has Italian restaurants, more gondolas and a mini St Mark’s Square. This is an extract from our free Las Vegas City Guide.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THE LAS VEGAS VENETIAN
We spent quite a bit of time inside the Venetian in the shopping and eating area. The casino is on the ground level, and the shops and restaurants are on the next level up, starting from the main staircase and running to the rear of the hotel complex. Whilst there are plenty of shops, it’s the indoor gondolas that attract the attention which glide up and down a re-created Venetian canal. We ate at one of the restaurants overlooking the canal and the gondolas were alwasys busy with tourists and even wedding parties. Both indoor and outdoor rides cost $16 per person and operate Sunday to Thursday from 10am to 11pm and on Fridays and Saturdays from 10am to midnight. One way to get a discount on the gondolas is to take the Romance Package at The Venetian which combines a gondola ride with a meal and admission to Madame Tussauds. The mini St Mark’s Square is not quite so impressive, but is certainly worth seeing – check out the photo below. The show at the Venetian is currently the highly-rated the Blue Man Group.
