The Palazzo/The Venetian Las Vegas (No. 2)

The Grand Canal Shoppes is an upscale shopping mall inside the Venetian and Palazzo resorts on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, United States.

The Grand Canal Shoppes opened on June 16, 1999, shortly after the Venetian. The mall has many designer and upscale boutiques, and includes indoor canals, where gondolas take people around the facility. Live performances can also be found throughout the mall.

A second mall, The Shoppes at the Palazzo, opened on January 18, 2008, and has since been rebranded as part of the Grand Canal Shoppes. In total, the facility features more than 200 tenants and 875,000 sq ft (81,300 m2).

The Grand Canal Shoppes are part of the Venetian resort, both developed by Las Vegas Sands. The Venetian opened on May 4, 1999, although several features were still under construction, including the Grand Canal Shoppes. The mall's opening was rescheduled several times, delayed in part by county inspections of fire safety systems. It eventually opened on June 16, 1999, with 16 of 72 tenants. The $300 million mall was built on the Venetian's second level, above the casino floor. It was managed by Forest City Enterprises, which also held ownership in two other Las Vegas area retail centers: Showcase Mall and Galleria at Sunset.

In 2004, Las Vegas Sands sold the mall to General Growth Properties (GGP) for $766 million. The sale helped Las Vegas Sands to finance construction of The Palazzo, a sister resort to the Venetian. GGP agreed to pay an additional $600 million for future retail space in the Palazzo. The Shoppes at the Palazzo opened on January 18, 2008, though with less tenants than expected, due to construction delays. The Shoppes at the Palazzo have since been rebranded as part of the Grand Canal Shoppes.

As of 2008, the Grand Canal Shoppes at the Venetian averaged 20 million visitors a year. In 2013, GGP sold half of its interest in the Grand Canal Shoppes, including the Shoppes at the Palazzo, for net proceeds of $410 million as part of a new joint venture with TIAA-CREF. GGP was acquired by Brookfield Properties in 2018.

clowns 🤡

I had done this for the clown week but for reasons I couldn't finish it in time (I still had more characters in mind to add but if I continued it would never end) but I thought it would be a waste not to publish it so I decided to do it postscript: if you have a character clown branch (classic clowns, jesters, mimes, pierrots, etc.) who that you like and is not here, put it in the comments and I will take it into account for next year! :o]

I love how this can be interpreted as either masturbation or self harm. And because it's Armand, everyone has settled on: both, simultaneously. Armand de Masochism!

The Palazzo/The Venetian Las Vegas (No. 3)

The Venetian is themed after Venice during the 1400s and 1500s, and it features numerous landmarks from the city. Initially, Adelson did not plan for the resort to have a theme. His second wife, Miriam, eventually suggested theming the resort after Venice, where they had honeymooned in 1991.

Two architectural firms worked on the project: Stubbins Associates, and Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo. Many of the resort's landmarks and statues were created by Treadway Industries. The design project included 250 artists and sculptors. For historical authenticity, the resort hired two Venice historians, while Treadway sent a team there to photograph the city. Venice mayor Massimo Cacciari was critical of the design, calling it a "mega-galactic example of kitsch" and comparing the resort with a "street walker".

The exterior entrance along the Las Vegas Strip is modeled on the Doge's Palace and includes a recreation of the Rialto Bridge.It also features a 315-foot-high replica of St Mark's Campanile, topped by a statue depicting Gabriel. A revolving restaurant or lounge had been considered for the top of the tower, but it was deemed too small, measuring only 40 square feet. The Grand Canal Shoppes occupy an indoor plaza with a recreation of St. Mark's Square and features a sky-painted ceiling. Another area of the resort features 21 faux Renaissance-era paintings that were framed and attached to the ceiling.

The Venetian includes a replica of Venice's Grand Canal that goes through the resort's interior and exterior. Gondolas travel throughout the canal, and visitors can ride on them for a fee. In 2013, the indoor canals were drained for a month-long renovation, the first since the resort opened. At the time, the gondolas attracted 500,000 riders per year.
