Gondola Rides: Indoors vs Outdoors
The Venetian provides both indoor and outdoor gondola rides. While both gondola experiences are different, they are equally charming. Both rides traverse canals with a gondolier, usually singing as you float along the river.
Indoor Gondola Ride
The indoor gondola ride travels through the beautiful Grand Canal Shoppes. The ride itself is charming; you find yourself beneath the gorgeous, always-blue, hand-painted ceiling. Because the ride is climate-controlled, it is a great rain-or-shine experience, smooth and aesthetically pleasing year-round. You will pass lovely Italian-inspired architecture, little cafés, and adorable shops along the way. This option is also more accessible, as it is wheelchair-friendly with staff assistance.

Outdoor Gondola Ride
For a different perspective, the outdoor gondola ride glides along a beautiful lagoon at the front of The Venetian Resort. This experience is truly unique to Las Vegas, offering breathtaking views of the Strip from the water. You’ll take in the resort’s beautiful exterior, which features a replica of the Doge’s Palace and the Rialto Bridge. The outside ride is best experienced at sunset or night, as the city lights sparkle on the water, creating a lovely, romantic ambiance. This is an open-air attraction and may be closed during inclement weather.
