We did the indoor ride, our gondolier was friendly and sang a couple of songs. The ride is relatively short but well worth the $16 each. We shared with another couple, although you can have a private gondola for a total of $64. Sharing allowed us to take photos of each other. The ride takes you under several bridges and... more

I just got back from Vegas... and heard one of the things I needed to do while there was ride the famous Gondolas at the Venetian. I took the outside ride on the Gondola. It cost 16 dollars and they drive you around in a circle and the ride was literally 3 minutes long. It was probably the biggest rip-off... more

My friend and I were very excited to be in Vegas for the first time, and insisted on trying everything at least once, but this was just a big ripoff. We payed $16 per person to ride through a tunnel and back around. Not only was it short but it was supposed to be 13 mins, our 13 mins consisted... more

This was a fun thing to do but a little overrated--we didn't on the last trip to Vegas so we wanted to this time. For our group of 4 it was $64.00. It is $16 per person, no kids discounts. We did the inside ride because I had read it was a minute longer, but at the ticket counter they... more

I highly suggest these rides. It's nice to sit and float for a little while with a gondolier singing to you. I didn't expect them all to be knowledgeable about Venice and amazing singers, but they were. Our gondolier sang the Godfather theme. It was totally worth it to do the outdoor ride, I wouldn't do the indoor. Also, it... more

Very romantic even at mid day. The gondoliers are amazing especially Leonardo, he has a fantastic voice. He sang to us twice during the 12 minutes. Well worth the money. I recommend taking video and lots of pictures during the ride. The photos they take are reasonable priced too. more

Enjoyable

Something fun and different to do. The wait time is pretty long but as long as you go and get your tickets first then wander around the shops, then it is not too bad. The rides are short but enjoyable. more

Once again, for the price it was a nice experience. We took the indoor ride. Note, the indoor and outdoor rides are NOT connected, so decide before you buy your ticket. Ride lasted about 15 minutes and we saw the interior of the Venetian. Wonderful hotel. A little taste of Italy, would have preferred to be in the actual Italy,... more

We did the outdoor experience! Approx £8 ($16) for less than 10 minutes. The gondolier tries to talk sweetly & sings (yuk) half way through. Then they try to flog a soppy photo!. Rip off or what!!!! Waste of time & money. My husband did point out that the real thing in Venice costs a lot but the water isn't... more
