Championship surfing events are on the schedule. The casino features fountains, exotic plants and sculptures. Acts such as Bob Dylan and Underworld have played the hotel's House of Blues, proving that Mandalay Bay is out to appeal to everyone and not just the gamblers. The Venetian Resort accommodates guests with a range of cravings, from a lazy afternoon boat ride to a shopping extravaganza in some of the world's finest boutiques. The Grand Canal cuts through the heart of the property, creating a nearly perfect illusion of the Italian waterway city of Venice.
Gondoliers serenade passengers and white doves soar above the bustling crowds.
A walk through the hotel reveals splendid frescoes, golden statues and fine, polished Italian marble. Don't be startled if Casanova or Napoleon strike up a conversation with gamblers. Sometimes they may even drop a glove and duel one another. This is one fantasy world to play a part of and enjoy.
