text: I think the Winter in Venice event at the Venetian was a nice idea and the execution was pretty good The biggest fail was the ice rink which seemed to be getting some use but still fake ice is just weird Cmon the Cosmopolitan managed the real thing guys And the price is a little highnnOther than the ice rink though I thought that it was really nice that they did a little show every couple of hours after dark with music and lights and I loved how they had the Venetian Characters walking around in costume and interacting with guests It just made the whole night time atmosphere feel really festive The giant Clear Plastic Ball Christmas tree was a little odd looking in the day time and up close but at night the lights were gorgeynnOverall it was definitely worth the visit and I was also glad we parked at the Palazzo to walk over there because they were passing out cups of hot cider and it just made everything even more festive I just wished I had made it there for the food festival that was the day before Darn itnnBut I would come back to enjoy the experience again
