Las Vegas' "Venetian" Gondolas Are Far From Authentic

Las Vegas, Nevada, is famous for its thousands of tourist traps. From the many hotels, clubs, and casinos, the city is basically demanding your attention and money. However, one particular aspect that many advertise in travel logs to Vegas is the gondola rides. While the gondolas of Venice might be famous and worth the experience, these Vegas imitations are so far removed from their inspiration that it's almost comically dismal.

The rides are barely 15 minutes long on average, and there are no sights to see other than the stores or gamblers that are meandering about. The water itself is basically highly chlorinated pool water, and the steep price pretends this ride is in any way glamorous.
