Walking around in the Venetian Casino

You could literally spend the whole day just walking around the casino and hotel. It is like a mall inside with shops and restaurants all over the place.

They even had a snoopy gallery, but the employees came running out telling us we could not take any more pictures.



Inside the mall area, they had these human statues painted in white. They stand still for a minute, then the move sometimes scaring passers by.



Then they freeze again. You get fixated the first time waiting for them to move again.



Then they have the gondolas that go both inside and outside the hotel. I think it was about $30-$40 for a 5 to 10 minute ride. We didn't go on this particular ride because you become the center of being gawked at andpart of the collection of anonymous tourist photos.



Here is a different shot with the background of the building. Again, a lot of details went into the design.



Here is a shot of the entire building. It is a big size casino but on the strip this is probably the average size.



In the next picture you can see the hotel raking in the dollars with more tourist suckers on the gondolas. I think they have 10-20 going all at once.



It is really nice that these hotels are connected by walkways that no longer require to cross the street of oncoming traffic. In the background on the right side, that is the volcano with waterfalls.
