Along with iconic architecture and replicas of famous structures in Venice, Italy, the newly Venetian in 1999 also introduced a facsimile of one of the Italian city’s most famous attractions—its gondolas.

The Las Vegas version was a motorized version which wound its way throughout a number of indoor and outdoor water routes around The Venetian and The Grand Canal Shoppes. Singing gondoliers added that feel of not quite being in the desert environment.
