Fantastic. I wonder if these 2 and 3 star reviewers were drunk and only thought they were in the Grand Canal but were really at Circus Circus. It certainly is not an accurate description or review of anything goes at the Venetian including the mall area. If you go there really expecting to shop then you're loaded. If you aren't why I the world would you shop for real at one of the highest end hotels on the strip when a glass of water if 4 dollars most places. Of course it is expensive. Duh. Same with the food however that is manageable a d well worth it given the magnificent surroundings and design features. The place is stunning. A must see if you are hotel sight seeing in Vegas.
