We stopped in here our first time in Vegas to get on the gondola ride and to shop. We came back again Feb 17, 2018. I am truly loving the places decorated for the Lunar New Year-Year of the Dog. It was nice to see this area decorated. Of course the LOVE sign has many people taking photos in front of it since there is a nice waterfall behind it.
I love the painted ceilings and the theme inside to give you that feel of Venice. There are little bridges you walk over (photo op) and gondola rides (inside or outside). The gondola ride was very fun and entertaining. I agree that it's one of those things you do at least once.
There are high end shops inside the mall and even stores like Harley Davidson. I came here to get a gift inside this store so was glad to find it easily. There is a nice selection of restaurants here too. I remember seeing a show that was happening in the open area, but on this visit I didn't see anything. Happy shopping/dining!
