Okay it's hard only putting two stars, but I think the price you pay is ridiculous. They charge you a pretty decent chunk of money for 2 people, and you have to ride with 2 other complete strangers...unless you want to cough up some more cash for a private gondola, AND you're also encouraged to tip them. Plus they take pictures of you, but expect you to pay $22 for ONE picture...yeah no. Anyway, the ride was maybe 10 minutes, we went on the outdoor one. It was a really nice day out and I thought it was neat how they sang to you and the Venetian is gorgeous, but still the price is crazy for what you get. I would say if you have the money, go for it, it's nice but not worth the price for the amount of time you get and sitting with people you don't know.
