Dec 21 at the Venetian

After visiting the Mob Museum, we took the public transit to the Venetian casino and resort. 

This was Ann's favorite place on the strip.

The first image is Ann in front of the 'canals' of the Venetian.

In the background is a version of the Clock and other facing on the clock tower in Piazza San Marco in Venice. The clock in Venice was installed in the 1490s and has been fixed and restored numerous times since then. 


The hall that connects the lobby of the Venetian to the casino is truly beautiful (second image).  

It has elements of several parts of Venice, e.g., the Doge's Palace and Basilica San Marco and elements from elsewhere in Italy (e.g, the paintings on the ceilings are copies of painting in the Vatican).

Of course, there are gondolas.




Ann is in the foreground and gondolas are in the background in the third image.

On the right is their version of the Rialto Bridge in Venice.
