Real vs. Fake

Can you identify the real Venice vs. the fake Venice in Las Vegas?






















I used to be a fan of the Venetian in Las Vegas...and I guess I kind of still am.  I used to like to sit at a restaurant and watch the people float by on gondolas.  The canal in the hotel appealed to me.  But really, it doesn't hold a candle to the real Venice.  The Las Vegas version certainly does smell better than the Venice in Italy.  But it is too clean and too perfect.  The great thing about Venice is that it looks like it is about ready to sink into the the lagoon.  The buildings look old.  For real old, not the old that is fabricated.  I know I totally sound like a total snob.  And I probably am, a bit.
