Grand Canal Shoppes
Las Vegas Shopping: Just down the street from The Fashion Show Mall is The Grand Canal
Shoppes at The Venetian. While the shopping isn't as high-end as other
malls along The Strip, this is a truly elegant experience with touches
of Italian art and décor from the vaulted ceilings to the cobblestone
walkways. There are more than 80 restaurants and retailers, including
Ann Taylor, Kenneth Cole, Banana Republic, Davidoff and Rockport, St.
Johns Sport, Venetzia, Chopar, Concord, Amen Wardy Home and Rado
throughout this 500,000-square-foot mall.
Actors and singers in crisp gondolier outfits take guests on gondola
rides in the crystal-clear waters of the quarter-mile replica of the
Grand Canal in Venice. The performers pristine voices drift through the
mall as they serenade their boat riders. Celebrities such as Cher and
Madonna have taken gondola excursions during their shopping sprees
here.
Grand Canal Shoppes is at The Venetian, 3377 Las Vegas Blvd. Call
702-414-4500.
