The Venetian is my favorite casino! It appears they shut off the water to the outside canal during the summer, but in the winter, it was beautiful. The canals inside ran during both seasons I went. We ate at an Italian restaurant overlooking the inside canals. It was pricey, but worth the food and service. We were also in awe of the mural on the ceiling at the entrance and how the inside makes you feel like it is always daytime. Simply amazing!
