The Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian adds a little "Streetmosphere" to the shopping experience, providing fun and entertainment for all that visit.

Numerous street perfomers of all shapes and sizes -- from Italian opera singers to costumed actors -- can be found entertaining guests as they wander the cobblestone walkways that twist and turn through the Grand Canal Shoppes.

Artiste del Arte brings the spirit of old Venice back to life at the Grand Canal Shoppes with performances held at several locations within the shopping mecca. Made up of classically trained singers, actors and entertainers from across the globe, the group of performers put on a variety of exciting and unique shows throughout the day. In the evenings, guests can indulge in the musical delights of The Venetian Trio at St. Mark's Square.

Numerous "Living Statues" can also be found throughout the Grand Canal Shoppes, specifically in St. Mark's Square and in front of Ann Taylor. Often mistaken for actual statues, they can be found entertaining and amazing guests daily.

Another sight to be seen is The Gondolier March. At the beginning and end of each day, a parade of gondoliers march through the mall while serenading onlookers. Beginning at the food court, the gondoliers make their way through the mall, concluding in St. Mark's Square.

In addition to the painted ceiling overhead and the replicas of famous Italian landmarks throughout, the singers and entertainers at the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian make this the shopping experience of a lifetime.
