I went to the Canal Shoppes, and had a grand old time. There are man-made "canals," complete with gondolas and singing gondoliers. The ceiling is painted to look like the sky, except in one particular large space, where it's painted to look like the Sistine chapel! The gelato stand is excellent (well worth the $5 for a small one), and I was especially excited to find a little place selling Murano glass beads. I have no doubt that I will be going back there the next time I'm in Vegas.
