The romantic streets and the smelly canals of Venice, are reproduced for your enjoyment and gambling needs. Clientele Couples out for a flashy time and guys in hard hats seemed to comprise the crowd at this joint when I visited. Mascot A surly griffin resembling Ron Perlman appears as a logo on signs and placards. Employee costumes Not only do the gondoliers dress like Venetian gondoliers, the folks who greet you at the entrance dress like gondoliers, too. Dealers wear collarless shirts with flowing sleeves in sea green, gold, and carnelian.
Cocktail waitresses wear a red and gold number with spaghetti straps and a short chiffon skirt.
If you like gilt, you'll do fine here. The frescos on the ceiling feature plenty of half-naked ladies, chubby cupids, and mythological subjects in vibrant Crayola colors. You don't see much art like that anymore, but evidently, the folks in Venice just used to eat that stuff up. The focus for much of the decor is the architecture of Venice. The front facade features Gothic and Rennaissance landmarks, such as St. Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace.
