Editorial Review for Gondola Rides at the Venetian – by Julie Wheat
Overview
Gondolas float through the canals of the Venetian Hotel and Grand Canal Shoppes. A uniformed gondolier, and perhaps another couple, are your only companions as you relax and take in the Vegas-as-Venice scenery. Gondoliers sing Italian standards, like "O Sole Mio," and allow you to escape to Venice without going to Europe.
The Experience
These gondolas are free-floating crafts not set on a track like amusement-park boat rides. A photographer takes your picture at the beginning of your ride, giving you the option to buy a photographic memento afterward. The indoor gondolas move quickly in a narrow, well-lit path along the Grand Canal Shoppes. The outdoor ride (weekends only) is more private and moves at a slower pace along a wider path that goes under the bridge at the front of the casino.

We were walking around before going to the theater and saw people lining up for the gondolas. I found the ticket counter and found out it was about $15/person. The four of us went on the inside tour as the outside one was closed. It was very romantic but I think my girlfriend and I had a better time than her sister and mother. Still, it was worth giving it a try and I'm glad we did it. I'd be interested to come back and try the outdoor one. I recommended this to a friend and she was proposed by her boyfriend to on this ride! And said yes!
Pros: romantic, unique
Cons: long wait

What a great place to (pay someone to) Serenade Your Sweetie. If you are thinking of proposing remember that this will be a public proposal so be sure to stack the deck in your favor... Have had several discussions about marriage in which she indicated that she is obviously ready.
Pros: Romantic, Memorable
Cons: She might say no
