VENICE?? No, the enchanting waterways are part of the Grand Canal Shopping area in the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. In the Venetian, they have captured the essence of Italy with the gelato stands, the numerous Italian restaurants and strolling musicians. It's so authentic you truly feel like you're in Venice. Ever been to Vegas? It's a vibrant city with a thundering heartbeat coming from the sounds of the slots and the crys of the excited winners! My friend Linda and I met in Vegas on Sunday evening. We're spending the week here as my belated birthday present. I enjoy going to as Vegas because I love live entertainment and there's no place better to see your favorite star.
On Monday morning, we were strolling through the Venetian hotel and were surprised when we got to the main lobby. Both sides of the main hall were lined with employeees offering thanks and recognition to some U.S. troops staying there. It was so heartwarming to see the employees cheering on the troops and the joy on their faces as they strode down the foyer, shaking hands and greeting the employees. Fitting recognition for deserving heros!
