You may not be able to make it to Venice, but at The Venetian you can take a ride on your very own gondola, complete with singing gondolier. It's definitely a kitschy experience, but the canals were painstakingly made and spared no expense, so it's about as close as you're going to get outside of Italy. The gondola can take up to four passengers, and the ride last for an hour. Tickets are $18.95 per person.
