I've visited Vegas many times but never had the chance to ride the gondola until this year. While we were waiting in line for our turn, we heard the other gondoliers sing and they all had amazing voices! Our gondolier's name was Giuseppe and he was actually from Italy! Before he started singing he cracked some jokes and talked about how beautiful the weather was and how the sky is always blue (we were inside and the clouds were painted on the ceiling haha). Halfway through the ride he asked what song we would like to hear him sing so we requested "o solo mio" and oh my goodness this guy could sing!! I was so surprised, his voice was so rich and so smooth. I don't think we would've enjoyed the ride as much if we didn't have Giuseppe as our gondolier! He is amazing and very friendly!
The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is because the ride IS kind of pricey (but hey, we're in Vegas!) and is a bit short (15 minutes?). So if you're only visiting Vegas once in your lifetime, definitely go on the gondola ride!
