The Venetian is as close as you could possibly get to Venice in the middle of the dessert! Complete with canals and gondolas among with a faux skyline that isn't at all the gimick it could easily have been. The lighting coupled with the fantastic effort put into the sky and cloud art really comes off believable. The choice of shopping, galleries and wonderful food choices really completes the Venitian experience.
