FASHION SHOW AND THE VENETIAN | EXCITE WITH ONLY-IN-VEGAS ENTERTAINMENT!

The two most powerful retail destinations on the Strip – Fashion Show and Grand Canal Shoppes The Venetian | The Palazzo – combine to provide the most comprehensive shopping, dining and entertainment offerings in the city to delight visitors of all ages from around the world.

When the rich, famous, and devastatingly beautiful let loose in Las Vegas, they all gravitate to one place: TAO Nightclub. Located inside the Grand Canal Shoppes, the venue is known around the world as one of the hottest nightclubs on the . With 44,000 square feet of space spread out between two main rooms, three full-service bars, eight private skyboxes, countless beautiful dancers, and some of the most infectious dance music that the world has to offer, TAO Nightclub has all the makings of an unforgettable night in Sin City. The center is also home to “Streetmosphere” performances presented by an international roster of classically trained singers, actors and musicians who bring the cobblestone walkways of Venice to life. Daily performances in St. Mark’s Square add an unexpected element of entertainment to the shopping and dining experience and further embellish the center’s unique, vibrant atmosphere. Living Statues amaze guests with their immovable poses, while Artiste del Arte, a troupe of talented musicians, wander the center’s cobbled streets, serenading guests beneath a colorful alfresco sky.

After a full day of shopping, visitors can relax, take in the beautiful Venetian architecture and enjoy a true one-of-a-kind experience floating down the Grand Canal in an Italian gondola while being serenaded by a friendly, singing gondolier. The quarter-mile-long canal winds throughout the shopping center to create a memorable experience enjoyed by visitors of all ages. If waking up before noon isn’t your style, enjoy a night cap and some late-night Brazilian fun at SUSHISAMBA. Evening excitement continues to sizzle into the wee hours of the morning at LAVO and TAO Asian Bistro & Nightclub – the place to be and be seen after hours.

Across the street at Fashion Show, the retail powerhouse brings fashion to life with signature runway shows and the debut of a new experiential program that will enhance the entertainment platform through music, sports, fashion and performance arts.
