The Grand Canal Shoppes

The Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian/​Palazzo is quite pretty during the holidays when they put up festive decorations. Nice place to take pictures, it’s a lovely stroll along the canal. But the restrooms are a little hard to find and not easily accessible if you’re in a time crunch (dock a star).
Free attractions by St. Mark’s Square
STREETMOSPHERE — noon-​6pm on the hour, except 3pm, performed by singers, actors, and musicians
LIVING STATUE — on display 10am-​6pm — performer poses as marble statues for guests to take pictures with (tips encouraged), amazing how long they stand their motionless for a long time
Gondola Ride: Reservation must be made in person, usually see a long line on weekends. Rates are $ 21 per person for shared gondola (seats 4) or $ 84 for private gondola (for 2).

This is a message to the management: I love your mall, it is my favorite in Vegas, so please DO NOT allow sales personnel to stand outside their stores and hawk their products like at a lowly shopping bazaar. I was appalled today by the aggressiveness as they called to me to try this or that as I was just walking in the palazzo mall. Not classy in the least!

For real though… I could spend an entire day inside of these shops just moseying around looking at stuff! I loved every store I went into. A lot of it is high dollar stuff but it’s just fun to window shop and look around. The Venetian itself is just beautiful with all of the murals on the ceiling. If you’re looking to kill some time and walk around definitely come here. It’s pretty much crowded all times of the day. They also have a cute little wine bar in the center of the mall where you can sit down with TV screens to watch the game. Every time I’m in Vegas no matter where I’m staying I make it a point to come here.

Lots of nice shops here, but few that I cannot get back home. I do like Lior, as we don’t have one in Houston. Other than that, a handful of restaurants and basic places to shop, as well as some lux stores like Christian Louboutin.

I am a fan of the shops and what they have to sale but most of the items are WAY WAY WAY to EXPENSIVE!!!
I like the watches and the clothes but most of the items are not with my price range by any means!
Window shopping is best when going shop to shop. Find what you like and find it even cheaper back home, at another city, or online. Trust me, I have done this and it has worked out well.
If you do buy from here back sure you keep your receipt!

Eine der schönsten Einkaufspassagen sind sicherlich die Grand Canal Shoppes, die sich im Venetian Ressort befinden und im Jahre 1999 eröffnet wurde. Leider waren wir ein wenig spät dran, so dass alle Geschäfte schon geschlossen waren.
Wie auch in vielen anderen Casino Shoppingmeilen hat man auch hier einen künstlichen Himmel installiert. Zusammen mit dem Nachbau des «Canale Grande» und den Gondeln wirkt das sehr edel. Der 400 Meter lange Kanal kann auch per Gondelfahrt befahren werden. Ein weiteres Highlight ist der Markusplatz mit Straßenkünstlern, der sogenannten Streetmosphere und lauschigen Cafés.
In der Einkaufspassage mit Kopfsteinpflaster findet man luxuriöse Geschäfte, Galerien und Boutiquen. Neben Kunsthandwerk findet man hier Designermarken in 80 verschiedenen Stores. Unter anderem findet man hier Barneys New York, Chloé, Diane von Furstenburg, Michael Kors, Tory Burch und Piaget.
Für das leibliche Wohl sorgen hier unzählige Restaurants. Hervorzuheben sind hier Emeril Lagasse’s Table 10, Wolfgang Puck’s CUT, Shimon Bokava’s SUSHISAMBA und Buddy «Cake Boss» V’s Ristorante, die auf Sternekoch-​Niveau kochen.
Die Grand Canal Shoppes sind von Sonntag bis Donnerstag von 10.00 Uhr bis 23.00 Uhr und Freitag und Samstag von 10.00 Uhr bis 24.00 Uhr geöffnet. Ein wirklich sehenswertes und einzigartiges Shopping-​Center.

I just remembered my family took a trip to Vegas for my brother’s twenty first birthday, yay for him for having a wonderful trip as a birthday gift! Anywho, we stopped here and it was really cool. it felt as if we were in a village, but it was on the inside, but on the outside. very strange if you ask me, but cool because the ceiling acts as if it is outdoors. The shops were nice, we didn’t visit any of them.

This place is THE WORST. You can’t find any restrooms. I am great with maps and direction (yes– even though I am a woman I am great with maps and where I am going) but the map in this mall made no sense. We were essentially stuck in this mall and casino for-​what seemed like– eternity. For a while there, I thought it was just purgatory. Aimless wandering around without any real direction. I asked staff how to «GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE» and they just pointed and said «that way». Helpful. Thanks. Super helpful. Great.
I could have kissed the ground when I finally made it out of that hot mess. The stores are either hokey or un-​godly expensive. The canal is cute-​but also hokey. I realize its vegas but no.
Next time I ever come here (if there is a next time) I am going to bring breadcrumbs so I can actually find my way out again.

The floor-​plan confuses me and I get lost every time I visit! There was some remodeling/​construction going on and we were a bit let down that we chose here for our shopping outing. I still got a cute dress, but quickly decided to cut our losses and take our shopping elsewhere. You are still beautiful, Grand Canal Shoppes and I’ll be back when you are done being made-​over.

This is the second «mall» we have been to this trip where the restrooms are impossible to find. This time I had to go bad-​bad. We made our way through the shops until we finally asked a worker who directed us «down that way.» Finally spotted a «restroom» sign in the food court area and rush down the hall to find a HUUUUUUGE line for the woman’s room. (Ugh). At the same time, another woman who had to go pretty bad, spotted the «family restrooms» and darted to it before me. She opened the door only to find it occupied already. Haha. I then headed back to the long line to wait my turn.
What I don’t understand is that this place gets MILLIONS of visitors each year… WHY IN THE WORLD DO THEY MAKE ONE RESTROOM WITH ONLY 5 STALLS AND TUCK IT AWAY MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND??? UGH!
We left without visiting any shops because I was too annoyed to spend any money in that place.

I love going to the Grand Canal shoppes in Las Vegas and I love shopping :) a MUST VISIT on the Strip!!!
I walked here almost everyday of my vacation to be able to explore everything, at least 4 days out of one week! It was fun, I enjoyed looking around, shopping, visiting all the stores, and of course eating/​drinking at a few of the restaurants in there!
It’s such a beautiful place, both indoor and outdoor. I really enjoyed seeing all the Gondola rides with tourists, and of course the singing was interesting! I know next time I visit Vegas, I’ll definitely go back to the Grand Canal. My favorite highlights were Bouchon Bakery, Basin White, and Lobster Me.

These are very nice shops with a lot of stores and restaurants. I like coming here on dates because you can eat something good and then buy a little something for the lady. My one complaint is the very slippery floors. I hope someone can fix the floors here one day because coming here would be so much better.

At least it smells a lot better than the real Venice.
I guess its technically a shopping mall, even though nobody really shops at these random one-​off boutiques. Folks come for the canals and $ 16 gondola rides. Even though its an obvious fake/​replica, the place has some charm to it. This is what Vegas is all about; doing our own take on places from around the world.
The high end luxury boutiques and restaurants don’t really fit everyone’s budget but its a great place to just walk around in. The Shoppes connect to the Palazzo which has a much better selection of stores. The food court here is probably the most affordable spot to eat and is always packed with tourists. Definitely worth checking out even if there is nothing to buy.

I met up with about 10 other girls here on Saturday afternoon, prior to our evening out on the town. We walked around and they had a great time taking photos.
I’m not very big on shopping, but I like the fact that they have almost every high end brand under one roof. You’ll find shops like Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, etc. They also have a pretty wide selection of restaurants for every taste bud as well. My favorite cookie shop is also here, The Honolulu Cookie Company…
While we were walking around, I hear a familiar voice call out my name «Sivilay»…and I turn around to see who was calling out my name. To my surprise, it was one of my customers from my restaurant. It’s amazing how you just run into people even if you’re hundreds of miles away from home, but for someone to actually recognize you from just hearing your voice makes you truly wonder if your voice is really that distinctive… but it’s still a great feeling nonetheless.
The other girls decided to buy tickets to ride the gondola (departure at 5:15 PM), and I decided to head out to have my very late lunch since I hadn’t eaten all day.
I love the fact that the shopping mall is indoors, but it still feels like you’re outdoors with the fake sky and water stream. It’s definitely beautiful and relaxing to be able to avoid the extreme heat of Vegas. Unfortunately, being that it was indoors, I didn’t realize it was raining until I went outside. Lol

Tolle Mall mit vielen verschiedenen shops. Das Venetien ist wie der Name schon sagt Venedig nach empfunden es gibt sogar echte Gondeln mit Gondolieries das Venetien muss man einfach gesehen haben.

If I am going to go shopping while in Vegas this is definitely a place that we visit! First of all I love to walk along the canal, watch the gondolas and listen to the singing.
The shops are upscale featuring Barney’s of New York, Jimmy Choos, Coach ect. However there are stores here for every budget. I just love the feel of this place, I feel like I am walking in Europe. Even if you are not buying it is a fun experience to just window shop.
There are some unique restaurants located here like Buddy V’s (see separate review) and upper scale places for lunch. A must stop on the shopping tour of Vegas.

The décor was really pretty. The shops did not include any that I would usually shop in, but it was fun seeing all of the designer stores. Some areas felt a little overcrowded, dark and odd (particularly near the interior gondola area). It was a neat experience to see everything here, but I really enjoyed the Caesars palace shops and displays much more.
I did ask a customer service attendant at a front desk for directions to one of the stores inside and he was very helpful and friendly.

The Grand Canal Shoppes at the luxurious Venitian was simply breathtaking! By far the best hotel in Las Vegas architecture wise. They did a perfect job imitating the canals in Venice and the gondolas were nice and seemed so romantic.
Walking through here is amazing, you’re walking down a «cobblestone road» so to speak under the blue sky with a few clouds. Even if it’s nighttime and dark outside, one you come inside you feel like it’s daylight out and you have stepped foot into another country.
The grand canal shoppes offered a variety of shopping selections from high end stores like Christian Louboutin and Herve Leger to Victoria’s Secret and Banana Republic. There’s something for everyone no matter what your budget is. They have TONS of restaurants and speciality stores, many of the food network chefs have restaurants here.
This place is just lovely and so huge, you can spend hours here, it’s away from all the gambling and hustle and bustle of the strip and you may forget you’re in Vegas. This is a must do/​must see whether it’s to experience great architecture or great shopping, either way it’ll be worth it!

Sounds silly, but I really wanted to see this. The shops themselves are gorgeous, to say nothing of the canal, ceiling, and Venice storefront attraction!
So beautiful, I wish we’d had more time to explore rather than just before dinner.

***The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian has that Disneyland for adults look that epitomizes Las Vegas; the exteriors of the storefronts and the canals give off a faux Venice, Italy appearance and there are even meticulously dressed street performers who have a striking look (great use of makeup too); the simulated blue sky with paint is well done as the ceiling curves are not immediately recognizable; still, The Grand Canal Shoppes is kind of only worth visiting once because the shops are not that interesting and the food here is not that special***
Like almost all of the major hotels on The Strip, The Venetian offers both complimentary self and valet parking.

Huge shopping area in the Venetian Hotel.
They have a ton of stores and eats.
I love the Italian themed canal like they have in Venice.
They expaned the shops from the last time I came here.
Only issue I have is the difficulty of walking the shops. The map is not very useful.

This is a very good shopping complex to walk through. The architectures, decorations, and interiors in this place are very nice to look at. The store selection here is bigger than the Shoppes at Palazzo, but keep in mind — most of the shops here are quite pricey, if not higher.
It’s always good walking through in here!
