As a person who frequents Vegas several times a year, we try to do at least one touristy adventure each time. My expectations were not set very high, but I enjoyed the short ride with my boyfriend. Even in the sweltering heat way of a summer afternoon...
We chose the outdoor ride because of better photo opportunities during the day, but it was HOT out. No wonder there was NO LINE in the middle of the afternoon!! Since there were no other couples riding at the time, we got to go out on the gondola ourselves without pay for the price of the individual couple price - score!
The gondolier was really friendly and sang pretty well. Her personality really came out when we look back at the photos we purchased.
The photographer who took our pictures before the ride started kind of sucked because out pictures didn't look like they were focused on screen. The attendant assured us that the actual prints would be of higher quality, after purchasing our photos, they were exactly as displayed on screen... :(
Overall the experience was cute, not as romantic as you would imagine. We paid $40 for the ride and $47 for the photos, a pretty big tourist trap for a ride that lasted less than 10 minutes.
