The concept is great - take a gondola ride through the canals of the Venetian hotel while your gondolier serenades you. If it weren't so short and expensive, it would get a higher mark. But the ride is really short (what can you except for an indoor canal and Vegas?) Then they try to sell you pictures taken on the boat. They must make a fortune ...
almost $40 for 2 people and it lasts about 5 minutes. We went to the outside one cause there wasnt a waiting line. The people are super friendly and will talk to you the whole time they arent singing. Its something I atleast had to do but for the money I would never go back.

I loved it!!!

omg..i loved the ride..it was pretty fun..it really felt like i was a great experience!! i got on it with my family and the "sky" looks so real and pretty..the ride was pretty relaxing. i dont quite remember the name of the man that took us through it, but he was cool and he has a beutiful voice. He sang to us =)
My husband, son and I went on this ride and we all loved it! Our gondolier's name was Pepe and his was just great. He had an amazing voice and an even better personality. The line was a bit long, but it was well worth the wait. If you go to Vegas, you must take this nice and relaxing ride!
This is a pretty neat ride. It was my first ride on a gondola, so it was worth the experience. It is very romantic, when there isn't a lot of noise from on-lookers. Keep in mind, the water way travels through the hotel and shops, so at certain times (a.k.a weekends and evenings), it can get very noisy and thus, less romantic. Also, the cost is $16 per adult - pretty pricey in my mind.
2 adults 4 children split between 2 gondolas. There are two rides one inside the hotel, one outside. We rode indoors. Tried it to kill some time after touring the Strip on foot all day.
Slightly pricey but so's everything in Vegas. Ticket line was a hassle... very crowded in a small shop but once you have tix, they give you a time to ...

You never feel alone on the gondola

Go by yourself or with others. It's magically relaxing . The Gondelier sings better than you could ever imagine. It's well worth the money. I will definetely do this again.

Pricey Ride
By Mona, 07/08/08
The Venetian is a Beautiful Hotel and there is so much to see in there. I would however pass the Gondola Ride. I was going to ride with my cousin and we were unaware of the price to ride Private meaning just for us two. The price was going to be $63.00....WHAT!!!! Go see Madame Tussauds there.

So romantic!
By Kristin G, 06/28/08
We took the outdoor gondola ride at sunset. Watching the lights come on in the neighboring hotels and buildings was magical. Our guide was sweet and funny, and when my husband and I weren't being romantic, our gondolier was making us laugh. He had an amazing voice! I heard a couple other gondoliers sing, and they were fabulous as well. I highly recommend doing this at least once! You won't regret it!
