The Venetian

This hotel/casino recreates the city of Venice complete with copies of the Doge's Palace, the Campanile and the Rialto Bridge. Gondolas can take you inside the building and on the way you can be serenated for a lot less than in real Venice :-) The canals lead you to - where else - the Grand Canal (upscale and expensive) Shoppes. Inside the complex cobblestone streets and bridges lie under a blue painted sky like the one in Renaissance paintings. Throughout the building you'll find reproductions of famous paitings by Venetian masters like a copy of Veronese's painting "The Apotheosis of Venice". They even kept the same prices as in Venice as the restaurants and shops are all expensive :-) But I liked their casino which is big and well air-conditioned. If you are in Vegas, don't miss the Venetian.
