Gondola Rides at the Venetian is Romantic

Written By: joe - Jul• 27•10

Where else, but in Las Vegas can you experience a real live Gondola ride that make you feel like you’re in Venice. ‘O Solo Mio’ is heard throughout the casino as the gondolier serenades their gondola guests; gondolier trained by masters in Venice, Italy by-the-way ! You’ll be taking a trip that you’ll never forget, and you’ll even get to buy a photograph of you and your companion to help remind you about your wonderful experience.

The Venetian is one of the better Las Vegas hotels , which offers gondola rides that travel along the canals running through the Grand Canal Shoppes and runs outside as well. The concept is great, take a gondola ride though the hotel while your gondolier serenades you makes for a good change of pace from all the gambling, walking, eating and people watching. Guests get a choice of making reservations for either the indoor or the outdoor ride. Guests are only allowed to make reservation the same day and the ride lasts 20 minutes.

The indoor gondola ride will navigate you through St. Marks Square, past the great shops and under the walking bridges. There’s no privacy, but you’ll enjoy the onlookers who smile and wave at you. The Outdoor option is most like the being in Venice, Italy, especially when the sun shines down or the wind blows on you, just be aware if the weather is not favorable, the outside gondola rides cannot be scheduled. When making the reservations specify that you want a private gondola ride or otherwise you might end up sharing the ride with another couple, and remember to tip the singing gondoliers, that’s how they make their living.
