Why is there a canal in a hotel?
This hotel is the largest hotel in America and second in the world!!!wow!!!
Besides for the gorgeous rooms and suites there is the mall with high end shops restaurants bars and coffee shops.
The theme of the hotel is Venice I guess that s why there s the canal.
Disclaimer: don t got a boat ride on the canal it s $108 just go to Venice.
