The Grand Canal Shoppes - Las Vegas

The main entrance from Las Vegas Boulevard is over a nice
replica of the Rialto Bridge. The old world setting is
enhanced by winding cobblestoned walkways, the ubiquitous
trompel'oeil blue ceilings with clouds, and Venetian style
facades. The central square modelled after St. Mark's
featuring street performers with musicians, actors, and
singers. At the center, living statues attract a lot of
interest especially since benches are provided. Also at the
center of the square, exorbitantly expensive but absolutely
delicious gelatos. Many of the most famous restaurant
offerings spill out on to the square as well.
This was one of our favorite malls, a little smaller than most
and surprisingly authentic looking, with a somewhat eclectic
collection of stores
You didn't mention if they have gondolas to get around!
