The Venetian, properly

The gondolas get their best orientation here: a Venetian edition tour with the rides front and center — the indoor canals beneath the painted sky, the singing gondoliers, the outdoor lagoon by the Strip — placed inside the whole resort, Grand Canal Shoppes to casino floor. Romance at the Venetian is a setting before it's a ride, and this film shoots the setting.

BEST Things to Do in Las Vegas: Venetian Edition | Gondola Rides, CRAZY Milkshakes, The Dorsey Bar

Dani.702

Dani.702's Venetian edition tours the resort with the gondola rides front and center: the indoor canals beneath the painted sky, the singing gondoliers and the outdoor lagoon by the Strip. It places the ride inside the larger resort, from the Grand Canal Shoppes to the casino floor. The page's best single orientation to the gondolas and their setting.

Key takeaways
  • Venetian tour built around the gondola rides
  • Indoor canals and the outdoor Strip-side lagoon both shown
  • Singing gondoliers are part of the ride

25th Anniversary – Fountains of Bellagio, Las Vegas

Bellagio Las Vegas

A bystander films guests' reactions during the Fountains of Bellagio's 25th-anniversary show, which debuted new choreography and music with Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran. The short piece captures the crowd as much as the water, a reminder that the rail along the lake is part of the experience. Filmed in 2024 for the anniversary celebration.

Key takeaways
  • The 25th-anniversary show with new choreography and music
  • Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran feature in the anniversary production
  • Crowd reactions are half the film

High Roller - Las Vegas (day and night views)

mrcoaster1

mrcoaster1 rides the High Roller twice, once by day and once by night, and compares the two rotations. The 2017 film calls it the tallest observation wheel in the world, a title it held then but has since passed to Ain Dubai; the ride facts still hold: about 30 minutes per rotation and up to 40 guests per cabin, including the Happy Half Hour bar cabins.

Key takeaways
  • Day and night rotations compared in one film
  • About 30 minutes per rotation, up to 40 guests per cabin
  • Happy Half Hour bar cabins covered

Icons, kept honest

The Fountains of Bellagio's 25th-anniversary show (2024) — new choreography and music with Andrea Bocelli and Ed Sheeran — is filmed through the crowd's reactions, because the rail along the lake is part of the experience. The High Roller film rides twice, day and night, and compares the rotations (about 30 minutes, up to 40 guests a cabin, Happy Half Hour bar cabins covered; its 2017 'world's tallest wheel' line has since passed to Ain Dubai). The Peppermill gets the icon test from two devoted Vegas eaters: serving oversized portions since 1972, Fireside Lounge fire pit and all — still an icon? And at the Strip's south end, a British couple's first walk to the Welcome sign reports what nobody tells you: the free parking lot right beside it, and that it's smaller in person than its legend — their photo-angle advice is genuinely useful.

Out past the lights

A Paris walkthrough anchors on its half-scale tower (about 540 feet, legs through the casino roof, restaurant partway up, opened 1999 across from Bellagio). A Palazzo staycation is built around a Sphere night — dinner, a café breakfast worth rerouting for, then the Wizard, reached through the Venetian as most guests do (filmed in the show's first year). The page's quietest films close it: kayaking to Emerald Cave on the Black Canyon Water Trail below Lake Mead, the green-glowing grotto reached by paddle from Willow Beach — and a vanlife couple's Red Rock Canyon sunset, the scenic drive and a hike toward 'Little Zion' discovered as first-timers. Their warmth for the place is the review.

Sources: the nine videos on this page — a Venetian gondola tour, the fountains' anniversary film, a day-and-night wheel comparison, a Peppermill icon test, a sign visit, a Paris walkthrough, a Palazzo-and-Sphere staycation, an Emerald Cave kayak and a Red Rock sunset — summarized from their entries in our catalog.

Is The Peppermill Restaurant & Fireside Lounge STILL a Las Vegas ICON?

James and Paul Try it All

James and Paul Try It All finally visit the world-famous Peppermill Restaurant and Fireside Lounge — serving hearty, oversized dishes since 1972 to visitors and Vegas royalty alike — and ask whether it is still a Las Vegas icon. The Fireside Lounge's sunken fire pit gets its moment alongside the food.

Key takeaways
  • Serving since 1972 — the icon question tested
  • Oversized portions are the house style
  • The Fireside Lounge and its fire pit featured

Discover Emerald Cave: Kayaking at Lake Mead

Pickup Sports

Pickup Sports kayaks to Emerald Cave on the Colorado River's Black Canyon Water Trail below Lake Mead — the green-glowing grotto reached by paddle from Willow Beach, filmed as pure on-the-water footage.

Checking Out The Fabulous Las Vegas Sign!

The Sanbrooke Adventures

A British couple on their first visit walk to the Welcome sign and report the two things nobody tells you: there is a free parking lot right beside it (added after years of visitors dodging traffic in the median), and the sign is smaller in person than its legend. Their photo-angle advice is genuinely useful. An honest visitor's-eye film.

Key takeaways
  • First-visit walk to the sign at the Strip's south end
  • Free parking lot sits right beside the sign
  • The sign looks smaller in person; angles make the photo

Staycation in Oz: The Palazzo...and Off to See the Wizard

VANLIFE in VEGAS | Exploring Red Rock Canyon Natl. Conservation Area

Two Roaming Souls - Jake & Emily
