We visited the Venetian Hotel Las Vegas. A large area of the hotel is a recreation of Venice Italy, complete with gondolas and gondoliers. the shops all have facades as they are in Italy. There is also a market square and live orchestra performances. Many paintings are on ceilings and walls. The whole place is roofed in with a sky painted on it.

The Venetian Resort Hotel Casino is a Venice-themed hotel and casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition to the lake in front of the casino, canals on the second floor of building, in the shopping mall, are used to provide motorized gondola rides.

Venice Italy travel explores the water taxi system, a must for getting around Venice, Italy. This Italian city is full of canals to explore and Gondolas to ride around Venice.

Here's a video capturing the beauty and magic of Venice! It's a place that only seems to get more beautiful with age. Everything about it is vibrant and unique - from St. Mark's square to the city's winding streets and canals. And Venice is an amazing place to just walk around, explore and get lost in. It's truly the best way to see the city! For more about my forty-day European adventure visit: http://www.myeuropeanadventure.com
