The strip is the most famous part of Vegas, this is where all the action happens.
Some of the major hotels place themselves just off the strip.
The old Vegas still has lots going on, especially on Fremont Street.
The Venetian is one of Las Vegas most luxurious hotels. Located next to the busy corner of Spring Mountain and Las Vegas Blvd. across the street from the Mirage it is easily identified by its beautifully carved exterior and a large obelisk. The walkways and street entrance is lined with Venice esc scenery, and this theme does not stop at the door. Upon entering you will find tourists with cameras pointed to the air and as you glance at the glorious ceiling you’ll be dazzled by the detailed fresco leading to the lobby. The Venetian, as many put it, is the closest you will get to Venice in the United States. It is also the worlds largest hotel convention complex with its sister site the Palazzo which is connected to the Sands Expo.
The entire building simply oozes European elegance, in a good way. The Grand Canal Shoppes not only have some of the most world renowned shopping and 500,000 square feet of floor space, along with many shops you will not find anywhere else in the world, true to its name there is also an actual indoor canal going right through it. Visitors can even take a romantic ride on it as one of the gondoliers romantically steers them across the water between the amazing shops. Entertainers riddle the shopping center, and when combined with the shopping centers on the upper floor from Palazzo, it is one of the largest and most visited series of shops anywhere. And don’t forget to stop in at one of the world’s most famous wax museums, Madame Tussauds, and visit some of your favorite celebrities and historical figures… kind of.
