Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian

The first thing you ask yourself is if you get to the second floor of The Venetian, if you took a wrong turn. The transactions are done here, look like outside of Venice on a warm spring day. The illusion is complete with an azure blue sky above and gondola rides around the hotel. A boatman will serenade you while a lazy stroll down the river. You can even meet a famous Venetian while you're here. Marco Polo may discuss his travels Casanova exerts his famous charm or the ladies.The boat ride ends in a replica of St. Mark's Square, which is a key milestone in Venice. You can also listen to strolling musicians, opera singers, or see glass blowing their vases. It is the normal bustle of a Venice-market activity.The Shoppes themselves are directly accessible from the outside, so you do not have to try to navigate the casino. A walk through the casino takes the long way around the outside, but you get to see the fabulous artwork on the ceiling and into the lobby. Also, the floor of the entrance hall is an eye catcher.The Venetian recently added to its other tower structure called Venezia. This building is adjacent to the Shoppes at the end of the Piazza San Marco. So it makes it easier for guests to get back on their specific tower and makes it easier for visitors to find their way.The stores themselves are medium-to high-end brands like Jimmy Choo, Ann Taylor, Banana Republic, Rockport and a Venetian glass and paper shop. They have a food court leads to one end of the shopping center and the other end to the Tao, a nightclub, where you must be 21 to get into.
