The marketing people at the Venetian Hotel Las Vegas have come up with a new way to draw summer visitors to the Venetian and the Palazzo Hotels called Carnavale. Let’s hope they do a better job with this than they did with the “Winter Wonderland”.

Carnavale at the Venetian

What is Carnavale?

It means carnival in Italian and is a summer long celebration of Art, Music, Food and Wine. It’s a celebration of all things Italian in a festival atmosphere. There’s a Nightly Parade at 8pm and a Spectacular Light Show at the Clock Tower nightly at 9:15pm, 10:15pm, 11:15pm and 12:15am that’s open to the public. Other events will take place over the next 3 months. Here’s what’s up.

Mese di Arte – Art Month
