text: Oh The Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes I have brought many a family member and friend here just to walk around and gawk at things I have never not once bought something here I am sure other locals will not be surprised by this omission as I am sure other locals would say the same thingnnThe gondola rides have been around forever it seems and I have yet to step foot on one However it is fun to giggle at the tourists floating around in a fake Venice I suppose if I had the expendable cash it would be a cute thing to do but considering how long I have gone without doing the gondola ride my expectations of really doing it are very lownnI feel as though the Canal Shoppes are set up strangely and I always get lost I have been in this place probably times and I still get lost Especially now that they have been linked to the Palazzo Shoppes nnPlus I am sorry but I just cannot get over the babyhooker smell of The VenetianGrand Canal Shoppes Yes I have dubbed it babyhooker smell I do not care what The Venetian thinks it smells like it smells like babyhooker
