The Grand Canal Shoppes
Luxury Shopping Venue Brings Venice To Vegas At The Venetian
Serenading gondoliers and Venetian glassblowers are just some of
the authentic Venetian details that redefine shopping in the Grand
Canal Shoppes at the Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino. The luxurious
500,000-square-foot indoor mall combines the beauty of Venetian
cobblestone walkways, arched bridges and winding canals, with an
unparalleled mix of exclusive shops - some of them not just exclusive
to the area, but also to the country.
A one-quarter mile Venetian streetscape filled with authentically
designed neighborhoods will transport shoppers to the festival-like
atmosphere of old world Venice. Featuring an intimate piazza-style
setting, The Grand Canal Shoppes includes a 1,200-foot "Grand
Canal," complete with a fleet of functional gondolas and singing
gondoliers. Shoppers can enjoy a cappuccino at one of the waterside
cafes while being entertained by Venetian performing artists, bringing
to life legendary Italian characters. Shoppers will be enchanted
by the tales of world-explorer Marco Polo, succumb to the charms
of beguiling Marianne and fall in love with irresistible Casanova.
The vibrant sense of an open-air experience culminates at St. Mark's
Square, the centerpiece of the mall, set beneath a cathedral-style
ceiling painted the beautiful colors of the Venetian sky.
"The Grand Canal Shoppes bring every detail of Venice to life,"
said Robert Goldstein, president of The Venetian Resort-Hotel-Casino.
"Shoppers will be amazed by not just the overwhelming physical
detail of The Grand Canal Shoppes, but also the ambience created
by the entire Italian Renaissance experience."
