This giant resort recreates Venice wholesale: canals run through the upper-floor mall under a ceiling painted as a permanent blue afternoon. Gondoliers in striped shirts sing Italian songs as they pole along, while people on the bridges film them from above. With no day or night inside, you lose track of time wandering. Outside, copies of the campanile and Doge's Palace make the façade worth a look too.
