Grand Canal Shoppes

Opened in 1999 along with the Venetian Hotel, the 500,000 square foot Grand Canal Shoppes provides upscale shopping experience unlike any other. Shoppers can enjoy an authentic Italian gondola ride through the canals, take in one of the live performances found throughout the mall, or window shop as they stroll along the cobblestone walkways. All this and more *Streetmosphere* is offered at the Grand Canal Shoppes.

With names like Dooney & Bourke, bebe, Sephora, Ann Taylor, and Kenneth Cole, it's little wonder the mall takes in over 20 million visitors a year, making it one of the most visited malls in the United States.

Be prepared to encounter singers, actors and musicians from around the world performing throughout the mall. Upwards of 30 performances a day around St. Mark's Square add a vibrant air to the unique oddity of "Streetmosphere" found only at Grand Canal Shoppes, where old world charm and pleasurable shopping come together.

Grand Canal Shoppes dining options are numerous, and include over a dozen delis, cafes and restaurants. Wolfgang Puck's Postrio Bar & Grill and James Beard and Piero Selvaggio's restaurant, Valentino, for those with a bigger appetite, while those hoping for lighter fare can opt for The Grand Lux Café.

Entertainment options at Grand Canal Shoppes include Blue Man group, JERSEY BOYS, Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and Phantom - The Las Vegas Spectacular.

Getting to the Grand Canal Shoppes is easy with a quick ride on The Deuce Double-Decker Bus. A modern version of the traditional double-decker bus, The Deuce holds up to 75 people and can be found continuously operating on The Strip. (Las Vegas Blvd) The Deuce makes stops every 8-10 minutes, and runs from 9a.m. until 1a.m. For those who prefer to drive, a parking garage is available. Direction signs at the entrance to the Venetian Hotel will direct shoppers to free parking for the Grand Canal Shoppes.

Whether you're looking to shop, or take in some entertainment and dining, Grand Canal Shoppes affords all visitors a unique and enjoyable experience.
