The Venetian is huge - that's the only way to explain it. The shops in the Venetian are numerous and range from high end to moderately priced. We ventured in here to look at the canals and the always blue skies. I also wanted to hit up the Honolulu Cookie Company - ever since I had them in Hawaii about 5 years ago, I've been hooked!
There's also a Bouchon in the Venetian - it's one of my favorite bakeries in NYC and my friends had never had it. She absolutely LOVED the croissants and macarons. I think Bouchon macarons are my favorite, aside from Laduree.
The fountains by the Venetian are also great for people watching. On our last day, we sat by the fountains for about an hour just watching the other tourists walk by.
