Gondola Rides at the Venetian Tours and Tickets

Yes, there is a weight limit for the gondola rides at the Venetian. The official weight limit is 680 pounds (380 kilograms) per gondola, per group (not including the gondolier).

Both the indoor and outdoor gondola ride at the Venetian offer different aspects for riders. The indoor Venetian gondola ride gives you a more iconic Las Vegas experience and keeps you out of the weather elements, while choosing the outside gondola ride is more private—perfect for a romantic time.

The gondola ride at the Venetian lasts about 12 minutes, which may not seem long, but it’s enjoyable with lots of sights to take in. Plus, out of all the Las Vegas Strip attractions, this is a true traveler favorite. Ride inside with a group of four or outside with two.

Tipping is based on what you personally think is best; however, we do recommend tipping your gondolier at the Venetian. Here’s why—a gondolier is paid hourly but may run as many as five rides an hour, which is a lot of work for an hourly wage.
